The program morphed from the initial conceptto a “3 + 1” program where students study for three years at Shanghai Normal University,followed by one calendar year (three semesters) at the University of Dayton.Teaching in higher education is quite different between China and the United States. Tocontinue development of the program, SHNU annually sends faculty to UD for a semester tolearn about teaching and student learning in the United States. Additionally, UD annually sendsfaculty to teach at SHNU for a 4-5 week period to help prepare students for learning

Besides, theincreasingly important role played by FPGA in the DSP market also gives strong justification tothe adoption of FPGA for our DSP laboratories.This paper presents our new development on DSP laboratory materials for CmpE curriculumusing Altera’s DE2 FPGA kits. Many universities have developed DSP labs based on moresophisticated FPGAs such as Xilinx Vertex 4 and Altera’s Stratix II. However, low-end FPGAsuch as the Cyclone II on Altera’s DE2 board have mainly been used as simple input/output (I/O)and micro-controller.

As one of the leading collegesof engineering, our mission is to link theory and practice via our learning-by-doing philosophy.To be in alignment with this mission, students in both areas of engineering technology can take atechnical elective course in robotics and applications during their senior year. In this course, theylearn the basic principles of the science of manipulation along with basic control of roboticmanipulators. In the laboratory portion of the course, they work in interdisciplinary teams andbuild a robotic manipulator with the interface to teleoperate it by using a haptic device.

Such coursesemploy an approach to learning science that are backed by a significant body of work on research-basedand active pedagogies in various engineering disciplines as well as have demonstrated superior levels ofstudent engagement and learning.

A recent survey found that state funding can varyfrom eight percent to up to 57 percent of a state four-year institution of highereducation’s budget. On the low end were national research institutions and on the highend were predominantly teaching intuitions. [1] The rational from the respective statelegislatures appeared to be that research institutions could get by for less due to the grantmoney they took in. Their student tuition also tends to be higher. However, funding fromthe state and student tuition is not enough. Almost all public institutions now mustengage in fundraising to be able to balance their budgets. The question
