SERC is multidisciplinary in electrical,mechanical, and biomedical engineering fields and encourages students to collaborate on projectsand share ideas with each other.

can be applied to other courses that are design oriented. Inpractical terms, we set these specific goals: a) Emphasize complete design cycle, from “paper” development, to simulation, to prototype development and testing, followed by more advanced prototyping, testing and redesign (items 2, 3, 6, 8 above). Example: students first design, build and test a filter in “sticky- tape” technology and follow that up with production of a real PCB in a foundry. b) De-emphasize face-to-face lecture and emphasize in-class activities and peer interaction (items 1, 3). Example: introduction of Learning Catalytics in-class interaction system. c) Provide students with as much immediate or early formative feedback as possible (items

Computation of the correlation and entropy of received data with the datagathered at routing nodes uses more energy and length of transmission is greater at these nodes[9],[11].How ours is different: Given the sensing locations, the fundamental problem is to determine theoptimal locations of nodes together with optimal energy provided to them so that the network isalive during the desired lifetime with minimum energy consumed [3,4].

Specifically, we enrich the lecturesabout LED time-multiplexing circuit of S3 board with images to first illustrate how human beingeyes are often tricked and then followed by hardware demonstrations. To demonstrate theillusion of our eyes, Fig. 2 (a) (b) are borrowed online to test students’ eyes [10, 11]. Students areasked the intersection dots are white or black in Fig. 1 (a).

team-based projects. Given that research in studentlearning consistently shows that active learning and higher student participation leads to betterlearning outcomes [1][2], we have recently modified the course to increase student participationby requiring that students: a) do MATLAB reading and exercises in advance of the lecture time,b) utilize an in-class interaction system, c) use MATLAB on their laptops for in-class exercises,and d) attend programming labs. Given that ECE 102 does not deal with programming alone, wehave faced a problem of students passing the class without learning basic programming skills - acommon problem in any course in which students can collect partial credit. We are attempting toaddress this through pass/no-pass

, to the best of our knowledge, a practical solution and an effective assessmentstrategy have not been adopted for emerging usage models integration such as IWMDs. Ourpedagogical hypothesis is that emerging security research (through cryptographic solutions) canbe integrated in university education considering three teaching and learning approaches; (a).Developing a respective multi-disciplinary laboratory (engineering, mathematics, andbiomedicine in particular) for both research and teaching, (b). Advancing education throughinter- and intra-university research collaborations in the aforementioned fields, and (c).Assessing the outcome through detailed benchmarks. The authors of this work are from differentand diverse backgrounds and have prior
applications that this field addresses. (a) To develop a software collection of machine learning related algorithms based on MATLAB with accompanying documentation and usage examples based on real-world problems. (b) To develop educational material regarding selected, current topics in machine learning that will be used as chapters of an introductory textbook in Machine Learning for undergraduate students. 3. Involve students from 2-year community colleges (BCC and SCC) in this educational development process. The plan is to involve 10 community college students per year. Page 11.544.4 4. Disseminate

Class A(n=15) received no library instruction, while Class B (n=20) received one hour of focused library Page 12.577.5instruction. We then calculated the bibliographic figure-of-merit for each group’s project byassigning the values as shown in Table I. After discarding the highest and lowest values fromeach sample, the average figure of merit for Class A was 0.866. In Class B, the average figure ofmerit is 3.125, indicating greater use of scholarly resources in preparing their final projects(P.05). These results are to be

Eachhyrunnder consists of one fuel cell, one oxygen tank, one hydrogen tank and one dc motor gearbox set. With electrical power supply, the fuel cell reversely breaks water into hydrogen andoxygen which are restored into different tanks. During the regular operation mode, the fuel cellgenerates electricity while combining oxygen and hydrogen into water. The dc motor is poweredby the electricity generated and drives the car through the gear box. Students had fun racing theircars with each other in the hallway. (a) (b) Figure 6 fuel cell lab device (a
