This protocol allows cars on the road to form a dynamicwireless networks that aid in driving with the overall goal of reducing car accidents and carbonfootprint. The onboard car computer manages and controls all the communication systems aswell as electrical systems or subsystems in the vehicle which involve many sophisticated sensors.These sensors, and the software, help cars to make automatic, or

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Innovative Embedded Systems ProjectAbstractThe goal of an Embedded Design course is to teach programming, embedded circuits and softwarealgorithms. There are also related goals, such as learning to use development tools, lab equipmentand proper debugging techniques. There are tangential goals such as working in teams andpreparation for senior/capstone projects. And while there are a variety of approaches to teaching,the common theme is that you want the students to be successful and understand the material asthoroughly as possible.Each year, there are new peripherals, new processors and most engineering departments do not takea static approach to education and try to include more

The numbers of URM graduate students in STEM is low, and the numbers of URMgraduate students in engineering and IT fields is abysmal.

Although this research is only beginning to document the contoursof these issues, it suggests that successful social change in engineering requires that equality andinclusion be advanced through multiple fronts in engineering education, including the policiesand perspectives of engineering administrators and leaders.

Specifically,the policies encourage more diverse and inclusive populations as a means to better decipher andresolve complex issues. The field of engineering is no exception, with considerable effort directedtoward expanding underrepresented student enrollment in engineering programs. This studyexplores the current trends of diversity and inclusion in engineering education publishing anddegree attainment.
