Computer vision in undergraduate education: modern embedded computing

Computer vision has historically been taught as a graduate subject since few examples of the discipline were being practiced in mainstream engineering. In recent years, the incorporation of multimedia into embedded devices has drawn some vision topics into mainstream attention. Examples of consumer products include digital video recorders, cellular phones, and automobile collision-avoidance systems. This paper describes the development of an undergraduate course that incorporates some vision topics into the larger context of embedded computing. Traditional topics, such as processor types, dynamic power management, and real-time scheduling, are taught alongside relevant vision topics, such as codecs, concurrent interfaces, and multimedia signal acquisition, storage, and rendering. In lab work, the students program hardware to operate as a digital video camera. While the primary goal for the course is to teach embedded computing, a secondary goal for the course is to entice students into graduate study in computer vision. However, a major developmental point was to justify the vision content in the context of how it serves the needs of students not opting for graduate study, as well as how the course would impact students working in other related graduate research areas.

Teaching design methodology and “industrial strength”EDA tools in a first-term freshman digital logic course

Perhaps contrary to popular opinion, this paper shows that it is actually quite easy and potentially very beneficial to introduce first-term freshman Electrical and Computer Engineering students to digital design methodology and state-of-the-art digital electronic design automation (EDA) tools. One major observed benefit is that this early exposure creates a high level of enthusiasm which helps students maintain their motivation while working through calculus, physics, circuits, general education, and other foundation classes. Another benefit is that later classes are greatly improved because students can build on the solid skill base developed in this first class. Also of importance, this early work with multiple-solution design problems and EDA tools often helps students decide if engineering is the right career choice for them     

Mechatronic experiments course design: a myoelectric controlled partial-hand prosthesis project

This paper describes a proposed laboratory project involving the design of a myoelectric-controlled partial-hand prosthesis to reinforce mechatronic education. The proposal focuses mainly on extract electromyogram (EMG) signals generated during contraction of the biceps. The EMG signals are first amplified and filtered by a laboratory-designed electronic circuit and then reprocessed using a microcontroller to drive the servomotor so that the designed prosthesis can be properly controlled. The project introduces students to component-level and system-level design and exposes them to the integration of a microcontroller, electronic circuits, sensors, and prosthesis mechanisms. Moreover, since the project results in a working prosthesis, student enthusiasm for mechatronic education increases, and they see its relevance to the field in applied engineering. Implementation of the laboratory project within the curriculum has been demonstrated to be highly motivational and educational and has even helped to attract more students to study mechatronic applications.     

Proposal Teams in the Engineering Class

A competitive project in preparing an engineering technical proposal will provide a challenge to students to strengthen their grasp of basic principles and to increase the depth and particularity of application. The proposal project enlists student enthusiasm and provides practical professional experience in conceiving, detailing, publishing, and defending an engineering scheme for a novel equipment. A plan is presented in this paper for conducting such a project.

System-level microwave design: radar-based laboratory projects

Two laboratory projects-a Doppler radar and a synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-designed to augment traditional electromagnetics education are proposed. The projects introduce students to component and system level design and expose them to modern computer-aided design (CAD) tools, microstrip and surface mount fabrication technologies, and industry standard test equipment and procedures. Additionally, because the projects result in a working radar system, students gain new enthusiasm for the electromagnetics discipline and directly see its relevance in the engineering field. Implementation of these laboratories within the curriculum have proven to be highly motivational and educational and have even contributed to increased enrolments in upper division electromagnetics courses.     

Inexpensive physiological recording systems of didactic andpractical value

A physiological recording system using inexpensive elements was designed and built by a group of bioengineering students. Three consecutive stages were developed over a 26-week physiology course period: a single-channel mechanical recorder (for myograms), implemented with a long, very light wooden dowel and an arrangement of pulleys and levers; a two-channel recorder (mechanical and electrical), using an inductive proximity transducer; and a digital data acquisition and display using an A/D converter, a commodore 128, and the GRAPHICS 1 software with a Joystick. The instrument showed good performance for teaching purposes, generating enthusiasm and motivation in the students     

Integrated Team Projects as Part of the Undergraduate Curriculum

This paper describes an original fourth-semester activity, for students in engineering, which now has been running for eight years. It is a program of multidisciplinary team projects, for about 50 students, which include industrial, social, and economic implications. Guidance is provided by 10-15 members of the academic and scientific staff, as well as by 5-10 engineers from industry. The projects are conducted at a rather high technical level: the last two subjects were, respectively, a geostationary communications satellite and a remote-sensing satellite. The accent is not only on technical aspects, but also on the application in various fields of human activity. The student is supposed to devote about 10 h per week to the project. The program is received every year with a great deal of enthusiasm by the students.
