In addition to the wireless research, Dr. Alsbou is collaborating with the medical imaging group at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center on research projects in medical imaging. The focus of these projects is on developing new approaches to reduce image and motion artifacts in helical, axial and cone-beam CT imaging used in diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy. Dr. Alsbou has publications in the ASEE National Conference and attended multiple KEEN workshops, she uses ACL, PBL and EML in her classes. She has publications

capstone design project is embraced by schools from Orono, Maine to San Diego,CA and many, many in between [5, 6]. The opportunity to practice project managementprinciples, put theory into practice, and accomplish something of significance serves to enrichand motivate. Naturally this is no less true in the area of Electrical, Computer, Communications,and Telecommunications Engineering education.This paper describes such a capstone project as conducted at the United States Coast GuardAcademy (CGA) on Secure IPv6 Design. At this time education in networking at the CGA isfocused almost entirely Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) at the Internet layer. Through thisyear-long project, two senior students (known as cadets at CGA) successfully extended

Design is rarely a linearprocess, it is iterative in nature. Each design project is unique, there is no one process to followfor design. In general, the design process can be described as: • Define the problem (which includes establishing objectives and criteria, and developing a plan), • synthesize math, science and engineering knowledge to develop alternatives, • evaluate the alternatives (through testing, analysis

The laboratory portion of the course reinforces the conceptslearned in lecture and assignments while building skills in circuit prototyping and measurement. Labexercises have traditionally been a time when students follow a given procedure, collect data, andinterpret the data. The highly structured experience often leads to students focusing on the procedureand not fully thinking through the concepts being covered. To encourage a deeper understanding ofcourse concepts and how they translate to physical systems, two open-ended design projects wereoffered in place of structured labs in the most recent offering the circuits and instrumentation course.The design projects are undirected
