Teaching the Need for Design-Build Coordination and Understanding of Building Systems Thomas Korman Neil Opfer University of Nevada University of Nevada Las Vegas, NV Las Vegas, NV Jaeho Son University of Nevada Las Vegas, NVDesign-Build Contracting Services are becoming increasing more common. Thus, as educatorswe are responsible for training architects, engineers, and construction managers for this newwork environment. This paper focuses on the teaching strategies and techniques
,for example, enable an instructor to inexpensively identify students who may be struggling in thecourse and need extra assistance. This requires, however, that the pen strokes be labeledaccording to the type of content they represent: free body diagrams, equations, or cross-outs ofincorrect work (the ink of the Smartpens cannot be erased). For our initial analyses, we manuallylabeled the pen strokes, but it is too time consuming to do this for the entire data set.In this paper, we present a four-stage classification algorithm for automatically labeling penstrokes. First, we identify common symbols and letters using a shape recognizer. Second, weclassify pen strokes using a machine learning technique. Third, we group pen strokes into
necessary. This is a tractable task as self-explanations typically containa small number of possible concepts. The language used to express these concepts can varygreatly, but our task is only to identify the existence of the concepts, not to performgeneral machine interpretation. In this paper, we present early work on the automaticunderstanding of students’ handwritten self-explanation of their solutions to homeworkproblems in an engineering statics course. We employ an open information extractiontechnique popularly used to identify relations present in broadcast news transcripts. In ourstudy, this technique achieved up to 97% accuracy at identifying when the content of astudent’s self-explanation did not match the concepts used by experts in
device from ThinkGeek called an Annoy-a-tron). This paper discusses how these signals can be effectively used to teach, demonstrate, and reinforce the concepts of time dilation/compression, frequency trans- lation, spectral analysis/estimation, and aliasing.1 IntroductionKeeping our students interested and motivated is an ongoing challenge for professors today. In theauthors’ experience, we find that our students of signal processing still respond well to demon-strations that pique their curiosity or interest them in one way or another. This usually requiresinvolving their sense of hearing and/or sight in some way. For most students, tying such demon-strations to real world applications can bring signal processing theory to life
has placed a high priority on accelerating the transition to a "clean energy,green economy" in the U.S, a priority that makes the vital connections between climate change,economic stimulus, energy security, and job training. The missing link in this interconnectedsystem is the critical role that higher education must play in helping to make the clean energy,green economy a reality.This paper describes a model called “Building Expertise on Energy Sustainability (BEES)” toincrease research and education in Renewable Energy Systems within an existing industrialengineering program. The BEES model is a comprehensive approach composed of four keycomponents, which are: 1) Education, 2) Research, 3) Outreach, and 4) Connection. Eachcomponent consists

Engineers need to be able to identify and quantify the energy savingsopportunity in the industrial setting. This paper discusses the creation and implementation of anIndustrial Energy Management course to introduce the skills needed to perform energy audits inindustrial facilities. The paper will discuss the philosophy and curriculum developed to allow thestudent
