students to use a variety of software toolsfor writing reports, performing complex analysis and simulations, and illuminating abstractconcepts. In an electrical engineering department, the sophistication of these tools might rangefrom spreadsheets and word processors, to industrial-strength computer-aided engineeringsystems for designing integrated circuits, and modeling processes for fabricating such circuits.While commercial engineering software tools can provide a high degree of realism to thecurriculum, they don’t necessarily lend themselves to the broader objectives of classroominstruction. Commercial tools generally provide powerful analytic and problem-solvingcapability, but fail to present an integrated view of concepts. Hence, there is a

They usuallyinclude: an 8 or 16 bit microprocessor (CPU): a small amount of RAM: programmable ROMand/or flash memory: parallel and/or serial I/O: timers and signal generators: analog to digital(A/D) and/or digital to analog (D/A) conversion. Microcontrollers are designed to be used inembedded systems because the microcontroller and support circuits are often built into, orembedded in, the devices they control. Microcontrollers respond automatically to certain inputsin an embedded system; Examples of such devices/embedded systems that use microcontrollerswould be car engines, VCRs, microwaves, cameras, pagers, cell phones, etc. During the course of this project, the Arduino Uno microcontroller was utilized.

So far, we have designed anAndroid application software system for a student to learn and understand mobile security. The new client-servermobile security system was developed to identify a person's voice, and store the spoken password in a cloudserver, disallowing another user or malware to access the device. Upon unauthorized access, an email will bereceived very quickly through Java Mail service. The user interface has to be popped out in order to take apicture. Based on this open source platform, students can use their creative ideas to implement their own systemor improve it. Based on pre-evaluations and post-evaluations

math courses that are usually taught with little or no connectionto real life or disciplines (in particular engineering). At Florida Atlantic University we have also observed that there are students who havealready taken calculus courses but are still having trouble understanding key concepts inmathematics, such as discontinuity, limits, integration, and differentiation. In order to adapt tostudents’ new learning preferences, efforts must be made to further modify teaching methods.Instructors must add value to classrooms and on-line lessons, in particular by introducingdifferent approaches to concept comprehension. This paper focuses on introducing the concept of discontinuity by linking it to dailyexperiences using relevant and
theory-based courses that provided more relevance to adeeper understanding of concepts relayed. Students also took more thoughtful consideration ofwhat courses would be applicable to their career objective and engaged more in the advisingprocess taking more agency over their programs of study. During my time at the R1 institution, the absence of prerequisites for CS 1 led to diversestudents from various disciplines enrolling in the course which resulted in high enrollment. Theaccessibility of the course to non-computer science majors broadened the reach to majors outsideof the school who found value in the course. Students from the school of design expressed therelevance of the CS 1 material when developing creative digital art. I

However, the examinations have been well received by thestudents during the examinations and we have received positive comments at the end of thesemester.Practicing engineers seldom make decisions in the absence of a context. By providing a context,decision-making skills could be developed. This form of examination was designed so that theinformation required for a problem’s solution was not neatly provided. In many of theexaminations, students were required to extrapolate from the presented data or required to makeeducated assumptions. The students were also required to separate the essential information from

Nonlinearloads, such as the power supplies for electronic devices, introduce harmonic currents into the power system,which can cause failures in power system equipment as well as in other loads. Evidence of harmonic problemsinclude circuit breakers tripping when they shouldn’t or failing to trip when they should, overheated neutralconductors or transformers, erratic operation or tripping of adjustable speed drives, blown power factorcorrection capacitors, and communication interference. The problems are different, but their causes are related. Since every user of the power system contributes to the problem, I believe all electrical engineers andtechnicians need to have a basic understanding of power quality issues
