The themeof 2015’s program is “Application software with Augmented Reality (AR) for Visitors”.Students developed an application software that people can use on android smartphone.Indian students and Japanese students developed new application software for each other.Students ware required knowledge of JAVA, knowledge of AR, graphic design skill andprograming skill as engineering knowledge and skills. All of Japanese students came fromengineering department, but major was different. One was

The data are analyzed via hypothesis coding that was constructedusing the seven Dimensions of Learning Power from Deakin Crick et al.’s (2004) EffectiveLifelong Learning Inventory (ELLI)6, and the emergent codes of Becoming an engineer andAppreciation for lifelong learning. Through this pilot study, which has serendipitously emergedfrom these data, we propose to explore both the capacity and

Between a first and second attempt, students were left to theirown devices to determine how to remediate their understanding. They were welcome to seekextra instruction, but not required to do so. Between the second and third attempt, however, theywere required to discuss their particular issues with the instructor before continuing the examcycle.

In an era when a majority of engineering schools did not yet have extensive offeringsin engineering science, quantitative standards were the quickest way of getting U.S. engineeringschools to accommodate the perceived curricular needs of the Cold War era [23].EC 2000’s OriginsThe Cold War consensus favoring the engineering sciences generally held into the 1970s.Nevertheless, as concerns about U.S. manufacturing productivity and national competitivenessgrew during the 1970s and 1980s, there emerged a sense that the U.S. was winning one front ofthe Cold War, only to be falling behind on the other. While not all U.S. colleges and universitiesembraced the engineering sciences as strongly as others, there

We aredeveloping standardized problems and an accompanying questionnaire that can be easilyintegrated as a homework problem in the appropriate course(s). We will use online datacollection, and point-of-collection consent, to minimize any work for the course instructor.To further support standardization, we will not be using previous simulation tools such asGMAT but rather are developing simulation tools that can be run on software commonly used byengineering students, such as

This method requires at least one member of aninstructional team or a single instructor to teach and evaluate the same course(s) for morethan a single iteration. A modified version could be employed if a researcher were engagedin the course observations and evaluations over time with different instructors. The efficacyof the latter model has not been tested.Both qualitative and quantitative data are collected while teaching the design courses,managing the teams, and their projects.

Because of the high speeds…of today’s systems, jitter that used to be negligible is now very significant, and can prevent a system from working correctly.1 Today’s designers need the ability to analyze jitter, trace its root cause(s), and mitigate or eliminate the cause(s). In order to effectively analyze jitter, one must understand its nature, the various measurements, how those measurements can be displayed, and the tools used to do the measurement and display. The first section provides a brief review of these jitter topics. For a more detailed discussion, see the first paper in this series and its source references.1 The premise of this series of papers is that it is preferable
