the students were exposed to the international forum. For regularly offered classes with few students, this type of project is an ideal solution tomotivate students to stay in the field and learn more about design philosophies. Additionally, itgenerates the multi-disciplinary view of the design at a very early state of education. Once theinfrastructure is in place and students are trained in the software, the integration of such projectinto the normal student curriculum should be less resource intensive.Acknowledgments The author’s are grateful for the participation and for the kind share of their industrialexperience of Hans Wettstein, Klaus Schneider and Eribert Benz of Alstom Power, Heinz-PeterSchiffer and Dimitrie Negulescu of Rolls

These should be communicated to everybody who isinvolved in product innovation
toidentify customer needs and to quickly create products that meet these needs. This necessity,which involves a set of activities beginning with the recognition of an opportunity and ending inthe delivery of a product to the customer, is the rapid product development process. Rapidproduct development has been especially important since the late 80s. There have been vastimprovements in the area, mostly focused on searching ways to shorten the development processduration. Among these, the advancement in design software is very significant, particularly forsolid modeling. Accordingly, when preparing engineering students for similar responsibilities,integrating a solid modeling software to design experience is a must.Integrating a solid modeling

Engineering ProgramsAbstractChemical engineering education needs to be updated to reflect its growth and inclusion ofelements from various fields, such as pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, biotechnology, andconsumer products. As the industry continues to expand and there is a greater need forcommunication and leadership abilities in the 21st century, engineers who are working areanticipated to possess both technical expertise and professional skills. However, the typicalchemical engineering undergraduate core curriculum has not adapted to prepare students for themultiple needs encompassed by the chemical industry. Lack of industry-relevant examples/topicsand applications in the course contents results in less motivated and/or engaged

By using CDIM for media delivery and Web basedtechnologies for control, communications, updating content, and performance tracking itis possible to build a system that can deliver multi-sensory content in a much moredynamic manner than through traditional multimedia or the Web alone. This projectinterfaces available WWW and CDIM technologies in an unified environment that allowsinstructors to deliver distance instruction with many of the media delivery benefits of atraditional classroom by providing a framework for lectures, out of class work(homework), tests

In detail design the principles of design are taught andapplied to the multiple subsystems and integration required for spacecraft. This requiresconsideration of the practical requirements and constraints typically required for spacecraft. It isimportant to note that the design course employs the entire class as a single team, and that thefinal result of the course is a design and tested prototype of an integrated spacecraft model.The objectives of the Spacecraft Detail Design course are to 1) teach the detailed design process,including analysis leading to configuration managed specification drawings, assembly

Beginning inthe fall of 2016, in response to needs for increased support for the development of professionaland communication skills, a co-instructor in the field of technical communication was added tothe course series. For the past two years, the co-instructors (one in technical design and projectmanagement and the other specializing in professional communications and writtendocumentation) have worked together to develop an integrated curriculum that appliestransformative learning pedagogies and evidence-based best practices to support student success.Before coming into the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EECS

They seemed to have an implicit model for what creativity was (namely, aninternal cognitive act) and how it should be taught (using a traditional didactic approach), butthey felt they lacked the content of what should be conveyed within that model of creativityeducation. In other words, creativity was like statics or circuits, with a handful of orientingprinciples and problem-solving protocols that could be identified, conveyed discretely, practiced,mastered, cumulated, and ultimately integrated with other engineering analytic skills. What Ipresented about what made PDI students creative and successful problem solvers bothmisaligned with what my engineering peers

modernengineering practice and are best addressed in a group project. Shekar [3] suggests that in project-based learning, students are active learners and involved in hands-on activities. Professors arefacilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students to think and work throughthe problem. This process has been shown to increase student motivation, allowing them to applythe knowledge learned in engineering classes, in an interactive environment. Students get a chanceto discuss concepts with each other and collaborate on projects working towards a common goal– this is also representative of a real-world project. Hadim et. al. [4-7] suggest that project-basedlearning facilitates the development of many of the “soft skills” demanded from

Furthermore, most of current algorithmsalso assume a stationary camera in which the background can be learned over a long period oftime and usually consists of tracking objects in a very low-resolution video sequence.7 Thisresearch does not require learning the background and focuses in tracking multiple movingobjects in high-resolution video. The proposed object tracking will be integrated during thedecoding stage of the H.264 compression,8 the current state-of-the-art compression standard, inorder to take advantage of its robust motion estimation, a really useful feature which provides uswith an
