The system is designed to provide a common look and feel tocourses offered both on-site and through distance learning. By coupling the software to adatabase, campus administrative pages and faculty personnel pages can be loaded andmaintained with minimal effort. Although the software lacks feedback and interactioncomponents typically found in a course management system, it does allow faculty to easilymaintain an online

Since adigital computer is used, capabilities such as programmability and signal recording are availablewith this system. Therefore, this instrument can generate any function of time that can berepresented mathematically. The ability to generate arbitrary waveforms makes this instrumentmore versatile that an ordinary function generator that can produce only a few differentwaveforms. This design offers

Much of the initial training included seminars on building web pages, developing anapplications oriented curriculum, and workshops on distance education. A training site forsoftware and delivery alternatives was developed as part of the ongoing training efforts. Asample page from this site is shown below in Figure 6. Figure 6.

It requires education and training inthe “engineering of systems” – i.e., Systems Engineering. Where voids exist in this knowledge,the organization’s ability to “engineer systems” is typically characterized as ad hoc, chaotic, anddysfunctional rather than efficient and effective.In response to these operational needs, this paper explores the ad hoc, chaotic, and dysfunctionalnature of Systems

The initiative is aimed at increasing the
and examine readouts ofconcentrations, pressure, etc. Although excellent uses of internet technology, these labs requiresignificant infrastructure and computational power at the host server location. Also, because thesimulation software and/or hardware resides at the host location, these labs can not be easilyexpanded or modified by other faculty who would like to adapt them for their own courses. Onlyindividuals at the host location can update the information delivered to the students.3.

Thiswork examines the University of Florida’s asynchronous combined classroom approach forworldwide online delivery of graduate engineering courses and master’s degree programs inCivil, Computer Science, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Materials, and Mechanical &Aerospace Engineering.This body of work begins with a brief introduction to the
of Computer Science curriculum. A central issue within computernetwork education is the hands-on laboratory-based approach versus the traditional in-calllecture-based approach. Traditionally, computer networks courses have not provided studentswith hands-on access to networking equipment and software. However, due to increasingpopularity of vendor-based courses as components of undergraduate curricula, students now havethe opportunity to study a more practical approach and hence program networking devices(switches, routers). Furthermore, many students are studying networking and internetworking Page 9.134.1Proceedings of the 2004 American

The three week laboratory workshop was designed to familiarize students with the hardwareand software aspects of the IMU sensor and filtering techniques, enabling them to effectivelyutilize their ability to apply this knowledge to tangible and innovative projects. The aim of this 3-week laboratory workshop was to educate students on the basics of the IMU sensor, its features,and how to utilize it alongside signal processing and filtering techniques to extract reliable data.The results demonstrate that the students gained a fundamental understanding of the IMU sensorand were able to apply their knowledge to practical projects.KeywordsInertial Measurement Unit, Instrumentation, Signal Processing

While software packages have many advantages (flexibility,low cost, ability to simulate complex circuits quickly, ability to determine trends from changinginputs or components), they do not teach practical skills, such as assembling circuits on abreadboard, soldering, component handling, safety, and operation of test equipment.A third solution employed in many universities is to offer real-time practical exercises that canbe performed by remote control.14-18 This approach became popular as the Internet and itsapplications grew.
