While actual hardware usage is arguably the best technique for student investigation, the complexity of and costs associated with appropriate commercial or instructional communication hardware systems make such systems, in many cases, unattractive in a university setting. Often a more appropriate solution to augmenting student learning is computer simulation. A series of original computer exercises that demonstrate several communication principles has been developed by the author to be used as student laboratory exercises or as a supplement to hardware laboratory exercises. The paper describes the simulation exercises, gives complete listings of the programs, and reports on the use of these exercises in a university setting to augment a course in communication system principles. Among the communication systems topics investigated in the exercises are quantization noise, distortion, companding, and Nyquist's criteria for zero intersymbol interference. While the exercises were written using the mathematical computation package MathCAD, adaptation to other similar packages is not difficult.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127452352","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}

Computers are revolutionizing the way engineers \"do\" engineering. Concepts such as concurrent engineering, solids modeling, design for manufacturability and assembly, statistical process control, total quality management, injection molding simulation and finite element analysis all use the computer to assist engineers in the creation of better quality products in a much shorter cycle time than was previously possible. Many companies in the USA now rely on products that are less than two years old to produce much of their income. Unfortunately, this push to educate engineers who can compete in this new world class market comes at the same time when universities are facing shrinking budgets and increasing class sizes. Yet, the engineering students of today must acquire the skills that they will need upon graduation to compete in that world class market. This paper discusses the challenges that engineering educators face in using the computer as an increasingly important tool in the curriculum in a academic world where shrinking resources seems to be the rule rather than the exception. The paper also discusses the problems of finding room in already too crowded programs to integrate these computer tools.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126757578","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}

Vanderbilt University have determined that about half of their students are in some form of management position within five years after graduation, yet little is done in most engineering curricula to address this issue. With consultation from selected industry and academic advisors, they concluded that a strong technical education centered on fundamentals must remain the primary focus of their traditional engineering programs. This is the curriculum that industry expects and recruits, and therefore, it is also what parents and students expect. Nonetheless, they also recognize the growing importance of interdisciplinary activities and the great benefit their students may receive from an understanding of some economic, business, and management principles. The author details how these factors have lead them to the development of a minor program of study in Management of Technology.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129422557","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}

This course entitled \"Design and Fabrication of Microelectromechanical Systems\" has now been taught twice at the University of Minnesota. The course is offered for juniors, seniors, and first-year graduate students majoring in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and material science. The participants are not required to have a background in microelectronics processing techniques. This course is taught starting with a perspective of basic silicon processing techniques, and it advances to demonstrate how such processing methods can lead to fabricated MEMS devices. Several key components are integrated in this course: (1) hands-on fabrication of micromechanical motor structures in a Class 100 cleanroom; (2) approximately 30 hours of entry-level classroom lecture on solid-state micromachining and related fabrication technologies; (3) testing and analysis of finished structures and devices; and (4) weekly discussions of fabrication results and MEMS work being carried out at other institutions.","PeriodicalId":288591,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1994 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference - FIE '94","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129099126","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}
