This paper focuses on the advantages to both faculty andstudents particular to using SDR in a senior design program.Over the last four years the authors have been developing expertise and supervising studentprojects in SDR. While many schools offer study in SDR for graduate students, the authors feltthat SDR was coming into such widespread use that undergraduates would benefit from exposureto the technology. In addition, upper division communications theory courses combined with therequired foundations in programming made the transition to SDR a logical and inevitable step inundergraduate electrical engineering education.I.

Therefore, it is necessary thatstudents have a good understanding of the concepts behind these and other applications. For thisreason, the Civil and Mechanical Engineering programs at the College of Engineering atCalifornia State University-Los Angeles have

important for undergraduate engineering programs to integrate cross-disciplinary learningactivities into the curriculum. Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches. Students develop basic computer code

Plagiarism Education: Teaching Students to Use Information Ethically William M. Baer Wichita State UniversityAbstract The engineering profession has always valued ethical behavior. However, it seems thatunethical behavior is more and more prevalent in our classes. The rising incidence of plagiarismis and should be a concern to educators not only to ensure academic integrity, but because of theimplications for our profession. The ethical use of engineering information is important for ourstudents to learn. There are two ways to combat plagiarism: detection and education. Programs likeTurnitin and

Our project, Graduates AdvancingProfessional Skills (GAPS) program, sought to address this need.

Some teaching systems exist but cannot be easily tied to existingcommercial systems. Equipment to test and characterize these new commercial communicationsystems is complex and expensive.To overcome some of these problems, student projects can be developed using a PC-based system forsimulation and application. The PC-based system used in this example is LabVIEW, or LaboratoryVirtual Instrument Engineering Workbench, a graphical programming language developed by NationalInstruments.

Since it is highly likely that programming students will encounter the UML in industry, it isimperative that computer science and computer engineering technology instructors begin tointroduce students to the UML in their object-oriented programming courses.

Also, the paper examines limitations inherited in proceduralprogramming language where function and data are two separate entities.
