The objective is to design and deploy a network of connected devices using LoRa technology to monitor the 20.000 m2 of our engineering school, ENSEIRB-MATMECA. Supervising the school using connected device came to the requirements to control our energy consumption. We choose a deployment in LoRa technology (open model compared to Sigfox) in order to master the deployment of the network from the beginning to the end. Modtronix LoRa modules inAIR9 and inAIR4 operating respectively in the 868MHz and 433MHz frequency bands were used as key components. There are 3 main blocks: sensor, gateway and server. All three are fully designed in the scope of this project by a team composed of 18 students.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129551752","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}

Many universities are now integrating or adopting different forms of e-learning components in their curricula to enhance teaching and learning and facilitate the students’ skills development process. Achieving high employability rates has been one of the major priorities for many universities as evident in the increasing use of career advice centers, counseling and supervisory guidance. Could e-learning tools be used to engage students with a skills assessment and reflective process, enhancing their career development and employability prospects? Reflective practice has been found to be vital in understanding one’s career aspirations, analyzing skills gaps and engaging with a module or programme. Not many researchers have explored how e-learning tools with reflective components can influence employability among students. This study addresses this gap by using the case study of the MSc Audio and Music Technology programme in the Department of Electronic Engineering at York (UK). This module utilizes an e-learning component in the form of a log and for the academic year 2016-2017, a total of 14 students engaged with this module monitored throughout by students’ individual supervisors and programme/module leaders. Using content analysis, the data from this sample were reviewed and this study explores the level of engagement of students with the e-learning tools. It discusses the viability of blending e-learning with taught modules in HE programmes. The findings examine the effectiveness of the e-learning log as a tool for employability enhancement and self-development and career reflection. The findings will help Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) and educators in refining and designing strategies for curricula and programmes with e-learning components fit for modern education.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116611326","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}

Such simulations are useful when solving signal integrity issues in todays high-speed electronic circuits where interconnects play an important role. On conditions of continuing increase of the frequency of signals to be transferred, the real interconnects are modelled as transmission lines. Then, in case of sufficiently high frequency band, additional losses caused mostly by a skin effect exist. Two basic approaches can be considered for the simulation, based on either the Laplace-domain or time-domain formulations of fractional telegraph equations, and both accompanied by proper numerical techniques. The methods are intended to be utilized for both research and education, while respective Matlab language programs can be utilized for PC exercises. The educational aspects of this research are important, as signal integrity issues and related methods fit into a doctoral course Modern Electronic Circuits Design at our university.","PeriodicalId":370977,"journal":{"name":"2017 27th EAEEIE Annual Conference (EAEEIE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126537721","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 paper looks into a case study of incorporating Arduino and Raspberry Pi for sensor networking, data transmission and enabling IoT functionalities. As a practical realization, an experimental smart home is realized with an array of sensors and a system architecture consisting of a set of Arduino and Raspberry Pi modules. The paper presents necessary aspects of codes in the form of pseudo-codes and describes some aspects of I/O with respect to the sensors used. Finally, the security problems are also addressed.
