A Software Package for Enhanced Student-Learning in Real- Time Embedded-Systems NetworkingAbstractToday, embedded systems networking is common in manufacturing, automobiles, medicalequipment, and home appliances, but few undergraduate engineering and technology curriculateach courses devoted to it. Not having appropriate educational experiences risks a decline in UStechnical expertise. Various companies have developed commercial software packages foranalysis, diagnosis and simulation of real-time embedded-systems networking protocols.However, these commercial software packages are very expensive and complex to be used forundergraduate courses. We have developed a user-friendly and easy-to-use software

The initial results of this effort indicate that fewerstudents enrolled in calculus their first semester (with more starting off in precalculus) and thewithdrawal rate for both calculus 1 and precalculus have dropped significantly. Shockingly,this project was taken on without analyzing student data beforehand (other than the examina-tion of success rates).Research Questions 1) Does placement exam score, academic level, gender, whether the student is a STEM (Science Technology Engineering or Math) major, and the number of times the student attended tutoring during the semester affect student scores in calculus in college? 2) Does a student’s anxiety of math correlate with

. Although some commercialoperators have already demonstrated completely autonomous UAV operations, in rural settings,this may represent too much of a jump in the operational use of technology in urban areas withoutfirst proving their safety and reliability. This paper proposes a gradual, controlled evolution ofUAV operations beyond line-of-sight by applying risk management principles, to assess proposedrisk mitigation procedures that are designed to provide an equivalent level of safety. One of thebenefits of assessing the feasibility and safety of UAV operations in interim, semi-autonomousphases is that a plan can be developed to serve as a blueprint for progressively integrating UAVcommercial deliveries in urban areas. This paper addresses the
