At the Cornell University School of Electrical and Computer Engineering,students learn embedded design by using FPGAs to develop SOC (system-on-chip) devices.Their program has done extensive work with using FPGAs for embedded control and inelectronic design.2 At Georgia Tech, FPGAs are also integrated into the classroom where theyare used to develop the skills that are necessary of an electrical engineer. FPGA-based SoPCdevelopment boards have been used over the past few years in their undergraduate classes.

Most competitors devoted two years to the project. The Onondaga was built from midMarch to mid April, then subjected to 380 miles of road tests in the rolling hills of the HudsonHighlands. Road testing revealed numerous design flaws, several of which could not be corrected intime for competition. Therefore we procured the necessary spare parts and tools and adopted agenerally conservative race strategy. The paper reviews the educational experience and reports on theperformance of the Onondaga. We present: a brief description of the team and its operation and anassessment of the design

As a unit, they are able to use their varied experiences to anticipate problems and solvethem before delays occur in the project. Before concurrent engineering became accepted, manycompanies used an organizational structure with independent departments. The designers wouldtoss their ideas “over the wall” to manufacturers. The manufacturers would then add ideas andpass the information to another department. Time-consuming disagreements often arose becauseeach department was trying to satisfy different goals. This process proved to be slow, costly andextended the time needed to develop new products

For this project, students in a material and energy balance course were assigned theweekly task of maintaining a wiki page on the current textbook chapter by entering what theyperceived as the most important items learned during class.

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper).
