positive that the VHDL exercises provided reinforcement ofclassroom concepts and allowed them to visualize results via simulation. Over two-thirds of thestudents were able to implement a completely functional design project computer model whichsuccessfully executed the test program. The methodology was to combine/modify instructorprovided VHDL models, rather than turning the course into a “programming” class. This keptthe focus on “hardware description” and did not rely on coverage of the language by the coursetext. The resulting combination of textbook and classroom instruction with VHDL modeling andsimulation exercises provided students with a more robust learning experience and exposure tostate-of-the-art design tools.IntroductionTeaching

The engineering graphics content of the Fall semesterclasses is supportive of the design content contained in them, but it was decided to put a majorityof graphic communication and visualization skills training into a specialized computer graphicsclass given in the Spring. The major curricular objectives of EGR112 are to:• make the beginning of learning engineering a positive, exciting, and pleasant experience. Page 3.90.2• amplify

Many emerging computer security techniques are invented as a result ofobserving the biological world.However, students learning computer security often have difficulty understanding theseborrowed biological mechanisms, which negatively affect their critical thinking skill andcreativity. The main reason for the problem is due to their lack of knowledge in biologicalsystems. One possible solution is to comparatively study biological mechanisms and theirapplications in computer security. Unfortunately, existing curricula

The paper ends with adiscussion of the appropriate use of these computer tools and algorithms at the right placeand the right time so that students using them will not be “just pushing buttons.” It is Page 2.61.1noted that many current textbooks use these tools (see, for example, [1]) and one needs to 1be careful that students will learn the main and underlying ideas for the subject matterunder study before they

Teaching ExperiencesBoth authors have used preliminary versions of the interactive text book to teach parts, or all, ofintroductory courses in fluid mechanics to junior-level students in civil and environmentalengineering and mechanical engineering. The students generally are enthusiastic about thegraphics and computational utilities provided by the new medium, but are less enthusiastic aboutreading large amounts of text and equations from the screen. This is not really surprising, sincecomputation and video are things that the computer is good at. These dynamic interactions areengaging and encourage active learning.

The virtual assistant is driven by a reinforcement-learning-based AI and adapts to the student’s various needs for assistance.2.

In mostimplementations, this manifests itself by moving content delivery outside of class, freeing theinstructor to use the designated lecture time to focus on solving problems and addressingcommon misconceptions.1 Flipped classrooms have been implemented in a variety of math,computing and engineering courses. A comprehensive survey of the research on flippedclassrooms is provided by Bishop and Verleger2 who found that students tend to prefer in-personlectures rather than videos but also appreciate the active learning opportunities that the flippedclassroom affords.
