acceleration on an FPGA. Themotion estimation algorithm is the most computationally intensive part of MPEG encoding,typically requiring almost half of the computation time.10 Most of the MPEG-4 encoding wouldbe handled by a pair of soft processor cores implemented on the FPGA, similar to the proposalby Kumala et al.11 as illustrated in Figure 2. Here both the “Master” and “Slave” blocks wouldbe implemented by the soft processor cores. The critical computation in the motion estimationengine is the block matching routine that uses a Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) calculation.A recent paper proposed a parallel adder tree for efficiently computing the values required by theSAD-based block matching algorithm.12 This student research project involved

Engineering Education, 2008 Development of an Integrated Spiral Curriculum in Electrical and Computer Engineering1 AbstractThis paper discusses the development and assessment of an integrated curriculum in electricalengineering (EE). The underlying spiral curriculum philosophy seeks to reduce thecompartmentalizing of sub-disciplines within EE by creating courses that integrate material fromdifferent areas and that revisit concepts with deeper complexity in subsequent courses.The paper describes adaptation and implementation of this paradigm in an EE program, andpresents some preliminary results from the first two and one half years of effort. Multiple robotplatforms provide a thematic project continuity across

Students were made explicitly aware ofhow each concept from their courses fits into the bigger picture through an end of semesterproject that revolved around a specific aspect of the steam engine. This concept is difficult toapply to Electrical Engineering because of the wide variety of specializations offered within themajor. While connections between areas are plentiful, creating a singular project that faculty ofall specializations will deem sufficiently applicable would be nigh impossible.Alnajjar proposes “Integrative Learning
