She completed an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineer- ing in 2008 and a Ph.D in 2011. Her graduate research has resulted in two patent filings. The first patent, the culmination of her masters research, was for a pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna. The second patent resulted from her doctoral research and was for a placement insensitive RFID antenna. Her tech- nical research interests lie in the development and characterization of new electromagnetic devices and platforms such as antennas and packaging to improve the performance of wireless systems in challenging

In the past, most this course enrollment was coming from BS inManufacturing Engineering Program. Even though some of the Manufacturing Engineeringoutcomes are still relevant, some other major outcomes need to be added to assessment of thiscourse.Conclusions and Future WorkWithin the last few semesters, the course enrollment had grown into thirties, including 33students enrolled in upcoming Spring 2014

The laboratory portion of the course uses twodifferent approaches to ensure the fundamental software skills as well as a clear understanding ofthe implementation challenges. The students were asked to complete individual projects in thefirst half of the course. The project consists of a small residential building which enables studentsto create a model from the beginning to the end in a limited amount of time. Different methods toaddress possible conflicts in design and construction are discussed and simulated in this process.The purpose of this paper is to provide a sample

The stand-alone rendering programs were installed in the computer laboratories ofthe department and so the student decided to use them for the purpose of the study. V-Ray is avery popular rendering engine and used by professional firms while renderings completed usingTwilight can be easily exported into Kerkythea for further enhancement if needed hence theywere selected for the study. The student had previously experimented with Kerkythea but had notworked with the other three programs.

mid-semester and final oralpresentations provided additional insight. However, the peer-assessments were student biased,and so instructor’s evaluation involved some speculation. An additional teamwork assessment isrecommended in other classes. Also, a single final report was submitted by each group, and so itwas not possible to assess the individual performance for written communication. A more validapproach would be to assess writing skills for individual laboratory reports from other classesduring the senior year. The new rubrics would be much more effective if used in a variety ofcourses.ConclusionA pilot study has been conducted for three new rubrics to assess communication and teamworkskills.

In this paper, an example of an image processing application project is developed,in the context of an image-processing course. This paper presents an algorithm that uses stereoimages, obtained from two cameras mounted on the Mars Exploration Rovers, to determine therange of distant objects in the images by using correlation and triangulation. The initial valueobtained by the algorithm was not accurate because it did not take into account the fact that therange of an object beyond the camera’s focal point is non-linear in appearance, and to the non-linearity of the camera lens, thus the range

The author usually givesa quiz every week that covers one chapter. He then compared students’ performance with andwithout mind mapping. Early maps were produced manually but later maps were produced usingthe MindManager software (www.mindject.com).

, American Society for Engineering Education”A final common challenge for faculty is to provide “hands-on” experience with new technologywhile teaching core concepts. Typically, this challenge is addressed through the inclusion oflaboratory sessions that reinforce concepts taught in lecture. Unfortunately, the laboratories havea tendency to be scientifically-oriented and are often completed on equipment that is notcommon to industry. Experiments are designed to minimize thee effect of assumptions on thestudents’ analysis of the experiment. This is an effective way to demonstrate a concept, but itdoes not represent a typical industrial environment.3The AMC SolutionThe AMC program was designed to meet all three challenges while also fulfilling the
