imaging, combining physics,mathematics, electrical and computer engineering, provides students with a broad view of anintegration of different technologies applied to biology and medicine. Different imagingmodalities involve various physics principles, diverse mathematic derivations for imagegeneration, recognition and reconstruction, special system configurations and specificapplications. The significant amount of information and rapid change in the medical imagingfield require teaching material to be more flexible to fit into the available class hours. Obstaclesto medical imaging education include 1) class hours required because of the interdisciplinaryfeatures, 2) sophisticated mathematical modeling required for many imaging systems, 3

electrocardiography (ECG) and electromyography (EMG)signals. With the advent of real-time data acquisition and signal processing technology, it is nowmuch easier to develop instrumentation lab experiments for student use. The current hardware andsoftware enables our students to achieve highly accurate measurements, perform time domain andfrequency domain analysis, and store the data for subsequent use, analysis, and design. This paperdiscusses some of the methods developed for implementing these labs. We believe our techniqueshave greatly enhanced the ease of teaching and learning these important topics in instrumentation.1. IntroductionThis paper describes how student laboratories using data acquisition, measurement, and analysis ofphysiological signals has

building that the green roof was being designed for was the Technology Center,more commonly called the Tech Center. It originally housed the Engineering Department, andwas one of the first buildings built for campus. When it was constructed, it was intended to havea second story put on top at a later date, so the roof was designed to be a floor to that secondstory, and there are two flights of stairs and even an elevator that connect to the roof. Thesecond story was never added, and the roof of the building therefore was expected to besufficient to support the green roof. This expectation was confirmed by the analysis done in thecivil electives. The roof of the Tech Center is clearly visible from several other campusbuildings, so a green roof
,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career fields have traditionally emphasized completion ofa formalized, post-secondary degree program as the primary indication of workforce readiness[3], [4], [5]. However, considering today’s global labor market dynamics and the increasing paceof technological advancement, scholars now suggest that a broader, more accessible array ofSTEM workforce qualifications and pathways is needed [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. Resultantly,non-degree credential (NDC) programs are drawing interest due to their broad accessibility,lower cost, shorter duration, and ability to be quickly tuned and adjusted to meet evolvingindustry needs. In this work-in-progress research paper, we report on the preliminary findings ofa systematic

This course is designedwith the ongoing trend toward technology-driven education in mind [11].The training course is modular, providing unique completion pathways for course instructors,course designers, TAs, and program directors. Any course attendee may complete all moduleswith very little redundancy, resulting in approximately 12 hours of material including learningactivities. Modules for the curriculum were chosen based on author experiences and literaturereview on MCI. The objective of the course is to build

The next stepThe exponential increase in the number of computer systems of the 1980’s and 1990’s suggestedthe need for computer hardware maintenance technicians. The tendency toward networking ofcomputers, be it intranet or the Internet, also required a support technician with the softwareskills necessary for maintaining, updating and modifying a computer network. That personwould also need skills in multimedia software and hardware. A global need for engineeringtechnologists with this training was apparent

HPC and cyberinfrastructure.Introduction and MotivationIn the race for global competitiveness in technology, manufacturing, science, and engineering,computer-based design and simulation have become critical elements in producing higher qualityand less-expensive products. Computer simulation and data analysis are central to this effort.Computer simulation is used by automobile manufacturers to design better products in shortertimes at lower costs, to discover new and previously overlooked sources of oil and gas, and toimprove industrial processes.3 Data analysis, which involves sifting through terabytes of data todiscover trends and unexpected patterns, is another emerging area of computation that is helpingto improve product design, science

engineering departments struggling tocater to increased enrollments, static budgets, and the need to maintain educational quality. Asdepartments look for ways to cut costs, ‘hands-on’ instructional laboratories, typically expensiveto develop and maintain, are slowly being replaced with ‘virtual’ experiments1-6. Indeed as notedin a report by a task force commissioned by the American Society for Engineering Education,'[Engineering schools should adopt] cost effective approaches [that] make use of informationprocessing and simulation technology' (ASEE, 1988). Recognizing the importance of ‘hands-on’experimentation in the undergraduate curriculum7-13, several institutions have developedlaboratories where students can gain ‘hands-on’ experience via remote
