UPF is designed to reflect the power intent of a design at a relatively high level. UPF scripts help describe power intent such as: which power rails to be routed to individual blocks, when blocks are expected to be powered up or shut down, how voltage levels should be shifted between two different power domains, and type of measures taken for retention registers and memory cells contents if the primary power supply to a domain is removed, hence helping the design to be more efficient. With power becoming an important factor in today's electronic systems, there is a need for a more systematic approach to reduce power in complex designs; and UPF is developed to address this need. We have developed the complete UPF based low power design flow from high level behavioral description to physical layout. The design flow is accompanied by an example-driven and self-study tutorial suitable for hands-on teaching. The examples cover a variety of low power methods such as clock-gating, multi-voltage, power gating, and the combination of multi-voltage and power gating. This design flow is implemented using Synopsys electronic design automation tools and tested on Synopsys generic 90nm and 32/28nm libraries. The synthesis scripts are setup in `tcl' format that are compatible with the Synopsys synthesis and physical design tools.","PeriodicalId":273456,"journal":{"name":"2013 3rd Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Education Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114894501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, CS graduate students come from a variety of academic backgrounds, including different science and engineering disciplines. In addition, some CS graduate courses attract students from other departments. To successfully deliver a graduate- level CS course, it needs to be designed and taught for interdisciplinary backgrounds to address the wide range of students, while still including advanced topics that are of timely importance to industry. This paper presents one such course, Mobile Networking. First, the educational and professional makeup of the student body is described. Next, the course content is presented, including the lectures, team projects, and mentoring efforts put forth to address the variety of student backgrounds and project interests. Two student projects, TCP performance over LTE networks and TCP supporting Video Streaming from the Cloud, are illustrated in detail. Since it was first taught in 2009, the Mobile Networking class has successfully produced several student-authored, refereed conference and journal publications and has helped students obtain employment in both networking and software engineering fields as well as prepared them for further Ph. D. studies.","PeriodicalId":273456,"journal":{"name":"2013 3rd Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Education Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130305157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus of this work is on reporting a teaching and learning experience aimed at introducing the students to the culture of sustainability, by means of a project that utilizes a leading visual programming environment and web 2.0 technologies, and is suitable for a relatively large group. The key idea was to tell a story through a computational artifact, whose development requires critical and creative thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration skills [6] as well as information literacy. This paper describes the pedagogical design of the activities, their objectives, class management issues, and the scaffolds to designing the animated story, to be implemented using a cutting edge, syntax-free visual language called Scratch. Both the humanistic and the scientific aspects were to be covered in each story about a selected topic in sustainability, in order to involve as much as possible of the teaching spectrum and create a truly interdisciplinary environment. The developed Scratch-based solution is also suitable for deployment on mobile devices using the App Inventor visual programming language.","PeriodicalId":273456,"journal":{"name":"2013 3rd Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Education Conference","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131792220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radio JOVE receivers are used by amateur astronomers to detect and record Jovian radiation and solar radiation from the sun over the decametric band of 3MHz to 40MHz. Our SDR system is designed to work at 20.1MHz with a bandwidth of 1MHz. As the culminating experience of our undergraduate program, this capstone project was sponsored by physics astronomers and required our group of three students to demonstrate expertise in RF, signal processing, FPGA-based digital design, Linux USB interfacing and high-level software. Included in the design and implementation are the RF-based analog front end (bandpass filtering and level adjustment), digital board (ADC, digital down-conversion and data interface) and the PC-based software GUI (further signal processing and user interface). Of particular challenge were the high precision requirements along with fairly high speed throughput all while maintaining a low price-point. A custom solution to data formatting was employed while then taking advantage of the freeware GNU Radio toolkit at the back end. Preliminary field trials have demonstrated the system's viability. Included in this paper are detailed discussions of the design and implementation along with certain key performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":273456,"journal":{"name":"2013 3rd Interdisciplinary Engineering Design Education Conference","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127012101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
