They should also be able to deploy and maintain the system for a community of users over the useful lifetime of the system. (4) Application – the students should have the skills needed to collaborate with a domain specialist in science or engineering to assess a computational problem within that discipline. Further, They should be able to apply HPC technologies to create a computational solution that is efficient, that can easily scale to a large system, and that uses equipment on hand or that can be purchased at a reasonable

Curricula couldfocus on how design elements such as color, form, value, contrast, and balance can be used indata representation. Interdisciplinary projects could combine creative data visualization withengineering concepts to bridge this gap. Finally, future work could compile a repository ofvisualization recommendations and their effects on viewer understanding. While creative datavisualization is widely important, it is particularly relevant in engineering education. This fieldoften deals with simplifying complex topics, enhancing engagement with curricula, and buildingcommunication skills. Thus, these creative data visualization case studies

In December 2009 he was named Assistant Provost for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. With more than 25 years of combined experience in the high-tech industry, government and academia Dr. Raviv developed fundamentally different approaches to ”out-of-the-box” thinking and a breakthrough methodology known as ”Eight Keys to Innovation.” He has been sharing his
emerging trend. Computing projects that are usedto control physical hardware were added to the Engineering Problem Solving and Computation course inorder to make strong connections to the many embedded computing applications used in students’everyday experience and in society in general. Moreover, witnessing computer instructions produce light,sound, and motion engages the students’ senses and provides the sort of immediate feedback essential forconstructive and memorable learning.In order to accomplish the goal of introducing hands-on laboratory experiences to over 600 students,Northeastern University teamed with the not-for-profit company Machine Science Incorporated toconduct a pilot study using a custom kit of electronic components in the
Hands-On Experiment Platform to Study the Power and Thermal Characteristics of Digital Systems Pong P. Chu Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH 44115, US1. Introduction When a semiconductor device operates, it consumes energy and generates heat. The powerconsumption is a key issue in today’s digital system design. In a CMOS transistor, the dynamicpower is related to the charging and discharging of the load capacitance at the gate output and isproportional to the switching frequency. The power consumption of a large digital system,which contains millions or even

The central theme of the course ismaterials, a natural link between science and engineering, between engineering disciplines and between student’slives and their classroom experiences. This course is the initial exposure which provides students with thebackground to select subsequent course sequences offered by the participating colleges. A key theme of the courseis its hands-on nature, its learn by doing approach, a central character of Cal Poly’s technical education. Coursemodules are self-contained one hour lecture / three hour laboratory experiences. They do not require preparation bythe active learner prior to the lecture or laboratory or any post activity.

The results of the impacton the student participants of the summer camp are also presented in this paper. The participantslearned the use of spreadsheets to analyze and plot data collected during the hands-on activitieswith the flight simulator. A within-subject quasi-experimental design (pre-post) was used tomeasure changes in attitudes towards Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Thechanges in content knowledge of the selected math and science concepts were also measured.Analysis of the pre-post responses to a 65-item STEM-attitudes survey provided interesting insightinto the differences between males
