Student-Led Research: Exploring the Impulse Response of Linear Time-Invariant Systems. Gregory McCartney, Leland Delissa, Marcus Allen, and Clark Shaver Pittsburg State UniversityAbstractThis paper reviews a student-led, extracurricular research project that was a direct out-growth ofan in-class research assignment. Within the Signals and Systems course in the ElectronicsEngineering Technology (EET) program at Pittsburg State University (PSU), the theory ofconvolution, linear time-invariance, and impulse response are introduced. The PSU-EETprogram prides itself on hands on application of engineering principles in every class. Butproviding meaningful

RE in the undergraduate Software Engineering and CS curricula is getting moreattention. Working in unfamiliar domains, being cognizant of ethical issues, and having to dealwith ambiguous and conflicting customer requirements are some of the challenges that studentsface in a course like this.The authors have added a practical element to a third year undergraduate course in requirementsfor software engineering (SE) majors through a quarter-long project in which the students workwith clients who have product domain knowledge but often no formal experience in RE. Theclients are biomedical engineering (BE) student design teams. This allows interdisciplinarycollaboration, exposes the SE students to eliciting requirements in an unfamiliar domain

IntroductionIn recent years, network based online delivery approach has been applied to many disciplines.The online delivery approach was developed to respond to the demand of distance learning. Inthe model of distance learning, students are far away from a campus and it is very hard for themto take on-campus courses in traditional classroom and laboratory settings.

But thefundamental premise that engineering education should provide students with the abilityto solve engineering problems as an exercise in applied sciences has not changed. Thisnotion has, however, come under increasing scrutiny in the last several years, and anumber of educators, employers and government officials have called for extensivechanges in the undergraduate engineering curriculum (1).

the real technicalworld came at a time when more and more individuals were able to experience an educationalsystem that had been relatively limited to upper class society. Suddenly there was a push to openup the doors of academia to individuals who might actually work in professions and require helpin paying for that education by working professionally before they graduated. Family money,unavailable, gave way to technical jobs that could support the student’s educational costs. Thisgave way to a new but fully realized concept that contact between what man thought and studiedwith how he acted in the real world was beneficial and critical for learning to take place.
