users of these learning tools have participated in such unique experience of technical communication with their peers. Data analytics is playing a significant role in science and engineering education in this digital information era. Data warehouses provide online analytical processing tools for the interactive analysis of multidimensional data of various granularities. The objective of this project is to develop a web-based interactive courseware to help students or beginning data warehouse designers in learning data warehousing. Developers of this project include Computer Science international graduate students from India. The targeted primary users are students of a computer science course called Data Warehousing and Data Mining. Other

. Thismay especially be the case for the student who has not experienced an industrial electricalcourse.It is believed after this second lab that the student is adequately experienced in thedevices that PLCs replaced and that it is time to move on to PLC programming. Aphilosophical approach to labs requires that labs or projects should be visually easy tosee. Machines from industry are not available and most students have not seen a typicalmachine. It is believed that a better approach is to select labs from experiences commonto the student.A first PLC project is given with the program already written. The student must masterthe programming of the circuit using the programming language of the PLC. In A-B, thechoices are RS-Logix, RS-Logix 500 or RS

, Engineering Graphics and Computer AidedDesign (EG&CAD) teaches the skills of using a solid modeling system to create parts,small assemblies, and documentation. More importantly, EG&CAD also emphasizes theuse of vectors in creating solid models and thereby provides students reinforcement oftheir linear algebra knowledge. The students normally take EG&CAD during their firstyear and then have the opportunity to use solid modeling in their sophomore and seniordesign projects as well as some special topic electives. In addition, several other coursesare now using solid models as a way to demonstrate fundamental principles2. With anincreasing dependence on solid modeling skills required, it is imperative that the coursecontent in EG&CAD be

Collaboration with industry and governmentpartners gives students the opportunity to solve real-world environmental challenges, be mentoredby engineering professionals, and have the potential to see their designs further developed andimplemented by the contest sponsors.Data collected at the design contest indicates that students improved in seven workforce-development competencies, suggesting that students who participate in long-term, hands-on globallyresponsible projects develop valuable technical and professional skills that prepare them for adynamic workforce.

that no longer requires screens to display theircontent. Instead, they will be projected into free space and interacted with through freehand gestures.Furthermore, this could reduce the need for static (non-changing) size and position parameters incurrent GUI frameworks. Instead, we could see more dynamic GUI frameworks that are more scalable,adjustable, and spatially responsive to the user and surrounding environment. The screenless natureof GUIs could also induce the need for multi-positional parameters within common GUI functions.Therefore, we should expect our GUI code to grow exponentially in both size and complexity ashardware reduction continues. To accommodate this increase in size and complexity of GUI code andallow for better

In this project, the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Kansasexamined using the senior capstone design poster presentations as a means to assess studentlearning across the curriculum. A rubric was created and deployed using industrial advisoryboard members to assess student performance. From this assessment, student learning wasassessed and reported to the faculty for evaluation and discussion. This rubric and assessment ofthe senior capstone design presentations were found to be particularly useful in examiningcommunication skills, design methodology skills, and the ability to design and

It would be a great tool for students to be able to create a concept model for any robot they planned to create in a classroom setting or otherwise. The examples using the toolbox include both representations of typical industrial robot configurations (e.g., PUMA 560) and robots with structures and dimensions which can be edited by both the student and instructor. These examples provide the mathematical representations and solutions of the designed robot.
