The various steps in building such systems include, characterizing the workload, designing scheduling algorithms and performing schedulability analysis. Conventional teaching methodologies for real-time systems have primarily focused on these topics and the choice is completely justified for the targeted traditional real-time systems. However with the evolution of small scale real-time embedded systems like cell phones, PDAs, sensor motes and other portable control systems primarily driven by a real-time operating system (RTOS), the conventional teaching methods fall short in several ways. This is because, building such real-time embedded systems poses certain different design and implementation challenges branching out of the severe resource constraints that these devices should operate under. In order to keep pace with these changing trends, we have enhanced our real-time systems course in two different ways. First, we have included the relevant topics like compiler-level and operating systems-level energy aware real-time scheduling algorithms and further developed corresponding assignments and projects to reinforce student learning in these topics. We present some of these details here. Secondly, we have developed a series of laboratory experiments based on commercial RTOSs which give students a rich hands-on experience in building real-time embedded systems. We have tried two different RTOSs namely, RT-Linux and VxWorks in two consecutive years. In this paper, we present the similarities and differences between two the RTOS platforms and their impact on student learning.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121185161","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 course is developed to expose students to curricular and career related options available in our department, and to provide them with hands-on experiences in a broad variety of Computer Science areas. To this end, we have provided Computer Science experiences such as problem solving, group and team work, and multiple interactions with the hardware and software components of computers and other technologies. In addition, we have had Professors bring their leading-edge research to the class to show incoming students the exciting activities they could pursue as juniors and seniors, and in their future careers. The course also accepts non-CS students who are exposed to this same ldquoCool Stuffrdquo with the result that some of them decide to change their major, while all of them come away with a better understanding of what Computer Science really is. Finally, virtually every class activity incorporates some cognitive or metacognitive component that supports student thinking with the intention that they have exercised their higher-level thinking skills by the time they step up to future coursework.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122857065","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}

Consequently, the goal of this study was to develop a method that is credible yet economical for large, specific, qualitative data sets. The strength of our hybrid, qualitative-quantitative method comes from using automated text analysis techniques to focus resource-intensive coding efforts on a small, carefully selected subset of data. This paper details the hybrid method as applied to a previously analyzed set of free-response data and argues for the methodpsilas validity by comparing results from the hybrid analysis with the previous traditional qualitatively analyzed method. With this data set, the hybrid method yielded comparable results with substantially less manual coding and in less than a third of the time required for the original analysis method. This hybrid analysis provides a more economical alternative for a ldquocoarse-cutrdquo qualitative analysis and observation of long-term trends, providing insight to practitioners, assessors, and researchers ranging from individual course evaluations to large-scale studies. Short, focused, open-ended survey questions are good candidates for this type of analysis.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131188522","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}
