forensics investigation technologies and procedures through interactive games [6, 7]. Supportedand funded in part by the National Science Foundation under the award DUE-1400567, a modular gameframework in both Windows and browser-based platforms have been developed, along with a GUI-basedgame creator that assists in easy creation of new games [8, 9].This paper primarily focuses on assessing our project’s goals and objectives. Based on the project resultsover three years, the game modules appear to be effective in teaching the processes of digital forensics,while the GUI-based game creator allows educators to create and develop new educational games. Usingthe game creator, the game approach can be extended and applied in any STEM education field. In

highschool students who have just completed their junior year. Students come from all aroundthe country, and in some cases from abroad. IEP’s purpose is to provide participants withan overview of all fields in engineering, while giving the students a taste of college life, alook at career opportunities, and a chance to meet professional engineers as well asengineering faculty. Students work on several projects, attend lectures, write reports,code programs, give presentations, do problem solving and design, go on field trips, andinteract with a very diverse group of peers.In this paper we describe the IEP program, and provide an overview of its selectionprocess and its structure and content. We examine how effective the program has been,and describe
transforms, FPGAs, and VHDL. These assumptions are valid giventhe enforced prerequisites (a senior–level fundamentals of DSP course) and the required corecurriculum for electrical and computer engineering majors at Georgia Tech, which includeslaboratories and classroom lecture on FPGAs and VHDL in the digital design and computerarchitecture sequences [15, 16]. Since the nature of this course is a convergence of DSP and computer engineering(CMPE), lecture material is pulled from both of these disciplines. The course scheduletypically consists of one week of lectures on DSP theory, optimization techniques, etc. fol-lowed by one week of implementation–related lectures. The laboratory projects then providestudents with an opportunity to combine these
obtained in 2003 the substantial equivalence certification from ABET, for the curricularprograms in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, ComputerScience Engineering and Chemical Engineering. This is the first Engineering School in Chile andthe second in Latin America in obtaining this recognition.Despite this encouraging situation, the School decided two years ago, to start a deep curricularrevision process. One of the triggering facts for this decision was the award of public funding(project MECEUP UCH0403, www.reing.cl), in order to develop a joint initiative with ourcolleagues from Universidad de Chile. Its objective in short, was to do a thorough analysis of themethodologies that are been used internationally for

Education, 2007 Gender Differences in Student Academic Performance and Attitudes in an Introductory Engineering CourseAbstractThis paper examines the gender differences in student academic performance and attitudestoward their education and themselves in an introductory engineering course. Student academicperformance was evaluated by comparing course work scores between the two genders usingassignments, projects, exams and class participation. The students’ perceptions of the coursewith respect to course outcomes were measured by a survey at the end of the semester. Thesurvey was designed to measure student perceptions about themselves and their skills in severalareas such as problem solving, computer usage, design
. Lessons learned from failures have substantiallyaffected civil engineering practice. For the student, study of these cases can help place designand analysis procedures into historical context and reinforce the necessity of life-long learning.Three approaches for bringing forensics and failure case studies into the civil engineeringcurriculum are possible. These are stand-alone forensic engineering or failure case studycourses, capstone design projects, and integration of case studies into the curriculum. The ASCETCFE Education Committee held four annual one-day workshops in Birmingham, Alabama andin Cleveland, Ohio for a total of approximately 75 engineering educators. The participantsestimated that over 135 courses and nearly 4,000 students
curriculum with a soft-core processor. All ofthe work does not need to be done ahead of time and developed on a dedicated board formonths/years into the future. Minor changes to labs can be made each year without requiringmajor redesign of dedicated boards. The configuration of the soft-core processor can grow orshrink as the needs dictate. Simple configurations can be used at the beginning so students canmore easily grasp the big picture; more complex configurations can be generated as theirunderstanding increases. If a project requires multiple UARTs, it is easy to add them.The Nios II processor was used for software development on the Altera DE2 for this course.Though the soft-core processor was considered the best instructional platform, it

During theworkshop participants will have the opportunity to reflect on and discuss their experiences with teamprojects and to share ideas on how to coach students in running effect team projects.For this workshop, a team will be defined as a group of people who work towards a common goal andhave shared responsibility for the outcome.

In the TECT workshops, the teachers and counselorsinteract with students in the summer camps, learn new engineering and pedagogical content, andparticipate in teaching selected summer camp activities.To date, three TECT workshops have been held that
investment by small businesses.Taxation of Corporate IncomeIn order to do economic analysis of a project using after-tax cash flows one must firstdetermine the before-tax cash flows and the amount of tax paid each year. This caninclude both State and Federal Taxes on income of the corporation. The use of tax tablesis relatively straightforward; it is finding the portion of income that is taxable in any yearthat makes this a complex subject. While it might seem that the calculation should beginwith the before-tax cash flow, not all of that amount, on either the revenue or expenditureside, is treated the same way for tax purposes. Cash flows resulting from the purchase orsale of capital assets must be excluded from the before-tax cash flows to find
