chemicalengineering students who I had taught the previous semester, I was very familiar with theirbaseline of training in computational topics in our curriculum. I used a lot of examples from theirearlier courses. Graduate students in disciplines outside of chemical engineering had a widerange of computational backgrounds, so I started the class with fundamentals that wereapproachable by the undergraduate and graduate students alike. To have the course approved forseparate undergraduate and graduate course designations, the course requirements had to differin some way. Thus, for the 2018 course, I included the video assignment for the graduatestudents to develop their skills in communicating to lay audiences and for them to think abouthow to implement

researchers from academia and industry. Access to the network-computing system, including account requests, document retrievaland actual execution of tools, is obtained entirely through standard, web-based interfaces.The emphasis is on exposing the students to the functionality and nature of tools, while elim-inating the need for time spent in securing access to machines, accounts, documentation, andlearning unfriendly interfaces. The result is a system that supports the integration of a largenumber of tools in undergraduate classes, while minimizing the overheads of installing andlearning a tool and nding resources to run it. Our work is part of an NSF-funded project on combined research and curriculum devel-opment. This paper describes the
DescriptionsThe Measurements and Mechatronics Laboratory in CSUN’s Engineering Building supports tworequired courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum – Mechanical Measurements (ME335) and Mechatronics (ME 435). Much of the equipment required to support these courses(especially the computer stations) is similar, so combining both courses in one facility was a costeffective approach.The laboratory facility is designed around ten stations which include a PC, a lab bench, andvarious electronic equipment (e.g. oscilloscope, function generator, trainer board, voltmeter, etc.)Each station has a data acquisition board and signal conditioning rack from MeasurementComputing (DAS08-JR and ISO-RACK08), and a “junior” version of LabTech Notebooksoftware to

Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract Sum-of-Products (SOP) expressions are two-level representations of Boolean functions consisting of an OR sum of AND terms. There exist many methods of SOP synthesis, but the Karnaugh map method is the most frequently taught in undergraduate curriculum. Unfortunately, most traditional approaches to teaching Karnaugh map-based SOP minimization are not very engaging for the learner. To increase student engagement, game-based approaches to teach- ing are increasingly being used to supplement traditional teaching methods. There has been limited research into extending such game-based teaching ap- proaches towards SOP minimization with Karnaugh maps. This paper pro
