Over thepast several years a growing number of research projects have applied data mining to variousproblems in intrusion detection. The goal of this research is to design and implement an anomalydetector using data mining. The project

This statistic is the result of thefact that engineering is generally not introduced in either elementary or secondary education.Exposing elementary and middle school students to engineering concepts will increaseawareness of the general population and potentially lead to more children pursuing careers inengineering fields. This project introduces students at Rogers-Herr Middle School in Durham,North Carolina, to mechanical engineering fundamentals throughout the course of a schoolyear. Our goal is to create an integrated curriculum accompanied by hands-on projects andweekly quizzes. Teaching is structured with weekly lectures accompanied by several interactivedemonstrations and experiments. Students are given

As a result, resources allocated to their projects were wasted, andsome funded projects were put at risk. The graduate program was restructured by the newdepartment head to offer a non-thesis option Master of Engineeering (MEng) program for themajority of students in a dual-degree BS/MEng program (and MEng format for those whoalready were BS graduates), and a thesis option for a minority of students in a research-basedBS/MS program (and MS form for those who already were BS graduates).

While the size of that evidence was typically smaller, the auditorium in which theexperiment occurred had a relatively larger projected image than exists in most rooms. If thevisual evidence of the topic-subtopic slides significantly affected the results, then the design ofvisual evidence appears to play a larger role in the comprehension of complex concepts thanpreviously assumed.Introduction In engineering conferences, meetings, and classrooms, presentation slides are oftenused to communicate key concepts and factual details.

It isdifficult to see a generalized theme, but one might assume that a primary focus of the leadershipofferings is based on a belief that a graduating student can lead from any level in his/herorganization. Emphasis is placed on students exploring their own leadership abilities and theways in which they influence group outcomes: interpersonal skills, judgment, moral courage,innovation, sustainability, global collaboration and emotional intelligence appear as key topics,as does the notion of the interrelatedness of ethics and sustainability in a

We also provide examples of laboratory projects that are used to complementthe class lecture sessions. We use MATLAB software in all the lab projects.We also discuss possible implementations of the speech coding and processing usinghardware such as DSPs. In the future, we plan to introduce the use of FPGAs for thisapplication as well.The paper is divided into five sections. In Section 2, we start with the discussion ofSystems and DSP curriculum improvement. In Section 3, we give some details of theMultimedia Systems I: Speech course.

relationship between engineers and the characteristics so desirable of prestigious careers:working to better society and working to improve lives. It is likely that once this occurs, moreyoung people might consider pursuing careers in engineering. In particular, it is thought suchcareers might especially appeal to females and others who have not been well-represented intraditional engineering fields. A report by the Extraordinary Women Engineers Project foundthat “High school girls believe engineering is for people who love both math and science. Theydo not have an understanding of what engineering is. They do not show an interest in the field,nor…think it is ‘for them.’”5 The same report suggests that this may have to do with thedisconnect between

Differences in these results may be dueto different emphasis placed in the two studies on in- and out-of-class engagement.Goodman’s measures emphasized engagement in out-of-class activities, such as inactivities sponsored by a Women in Engineering Club, while most of the questionnaireitems in the engagement variable used here, involve in-class behaviors such as serving asa leader in a group project in an engineering class.The single most important message from this research is that attending to elements of theeducational experience, such as students’ perceptions about the competition for gradesand respect shown by peers, have more impact on women’s than men’s persistence, butthey play a significant role in both.

culturegenerally believed that real human progress was being achieved, and that engineers were greatlyresponsible for that progress.Florman claims that what changed in 1950 was the project to develop the hydrogen bomb.People now faced the potential of a technology so powerful that it could destroy all of life. Thenin the 1960’s came the environmental movement followed by the countercultural critique of thedehumanizing effects of technology. Underlying these new sources of discontent withtechnology and engineers is the realization that the material comforts and reduced drudgerybrought about by engineering have not brought about the anticipated superior human beings, pluswe live with potentially serious unintended consequences.It might be accurate then to
