-levelunderstanding (i.e., breadth) of a modern digital communications device while focusing onseveral key aspects (i.e., depth) in the design and implementation of these systems. However,learning how to use an actual software-defined radio platform for prototyping digitalcommunication systems is often a lengthy, tedious, and complicated process. As a result, thistechnology is usually not employed within the undergraduate curriculum due to the relativelyshort duration of a typical undergraduate course, e.g., 7-14 weeks. Conversely, if the laboratoryexperiments and SDR modules have been pre-packaged for the students enrolled in the course,this would allow for a controlled exposure to SDR experimentation while simultaneouslyenabling the hands-on learning

The microcontrollers adopted at the present time are the Freescale MC9S12C32microcontrollers. The integrated development system adopted is CodeWarrior DevelopmentStudio for HCS12. The embedded microcontroller courseware is effective for equipping studentswith embedded control skills. This is indicated by the successful embedded control designprojects completed within this course and excellent student evaluations.I.

Unlike Jimmy, Kimmy suggests that herparticipation in extracurricular activities is integral in her development and future marketabilityas an engineer; she does not mention having interest in these activities to help her advance herengineering learning, but sees them instead as a way to network with fellow engineeringstudents. However like Jimmy, Kimmy’s response to this question seems to also fit with herearlier assertion that communication is an important engineering skill; it could be for this reasonthat Kimmy seeks to involve herself in socially oriented extracurricular activities.Through Jimmy’s and Kimmy’s responses, we can begin to see how a student’s expectationsmight play an important role in

With recent investment in infrastructure through the Infrastructure Investmentand Jobs Act, additional civil engineers will be needed to design, build, and maintain civilinfrastructure. An innovative summer course at Purdue University aims to decrease the spacebetween the needed civil engineers and students graduating with an undergraduate civilengineering degree by helping pre-college students understand what types of problems civilengineers solve.

A synopsis of the ethical ethos of engineering isprovided and an account is given of corresponding expectations regarding ethics instruction inengineering education. Because it is unethical, grade inflation is contrary to the ideals and goalsof engineering education; and recommendations are

The project was launched with a sixty-personbrainstorming session consisting of the thirty students enrolled in EGR100 and thirty studentsoutside of science/math/engineering to generate ideas for the project, as well as to discuss theissue of technology and technology literacy.

Incorporated into Machine DesignIn the freshman and sophomore years of a mechanical engineering program, the student learnsthe tools of fundamental mechanics and design. In the junior and senior year, the student learnshow to apply these tools to solve complex problems. An example of a complex problem wouldbe the two design projects assigned in machine design. In these projects, several fundamentalmachine elements (components) are needed to form integrated subassemblies, and these areassembled into the final system. Principals of machine design and strength of material areimplored. For the past two decades, machine design has been structured to include typical end-of-chapter homework problems, in-class quizzes, two exams, and two design projects. The
