The article treats with the integration of an elaborate Lexicon Extended Language which is denoted all in the interconnected reuse process. The eLEL is a lexicon rich in information and allows to describe a software component such as: its identification, its notion, its behavior and its different characteristic. From this lexicon, we proposed a reused environment that included three processes, namely...
This paper presents issues of computer programming and results of controlled experiment conducted to evaluate and understand the significance of pair programming in the teaching of programming. It involved 42 second year students attending object-oriented programming in Java, CISM 214 module as an elective at our institution. The experiment assessed the time for task completion, code correctness and...
This work presents the development of a remote laboratory service and its application during the teaching of Control Systems subject of third course in a Telecommunication Technology and Service Engineering degree. The application was successful allowing the student to control the same components as remotely, in a similar way as they were in the laboratory. There was an elevated interest by the students,...
In the last decade, virtual computer laboratories have been successfully used to provide students with hands-on experimentation in information technology fields in a cost effective and secure manner. In this paper, we study the effect of collaborative learning on student perception and acceptance of virtual computing as a learning medium. Virtual computing is a relatively new technology and can be...
The author has organized the project activities of computer modeling in teaching physics for IT students at the Novosibirsk State Technical University. The students' teams develop soft-ware products that are virtual counterparts of experimental setups. The developed programs can be used as interactive virtual labs that enhance the physics laboratory practicum. Participation in the project activities...
Device Lab is a worldwide network of laboratories providing a community pool of internet connected devices. Quality assurance across real devices is needed to solve device-specific problems. The community proposal is to enable anyone a free-to-use lab to test their work. Building on the gaming market categories we carried out an analysis of community devices that can serve this market to evaluate...
Dilute nitride GaNP is potentially useful as the top junction in dual-junction solar cells on Si because it has a tunable direct-bandgap and small lattice mismatch with Si. Investigations on GaP are the first step toward this goal. Our best GaNP solar cell on GaP ([N] = 1.8%, Eg = 2.05 eV) achieves an efficiency of 7.9%, which is 3 times higher than the most efficient GaP solar cell to date and higher...
Laboratory education is very important and plays a vital role in science and engineering courses. The cost needed for the setting up of a good laboratory can be huge and expensive to institutes that are heavily resource constrained. The rapid development of information and communication technologies, on the other hand, has had a remarkable change in the education system. This paper provides a comprehensive...
Installation and operational qualification are important steps in the overall validation and qualification process for software and computer systems. This article guides users of such systems step by step through the installation and operational qualification procedures. It provides guidelines on what should be tested and documented during installation prior to routine use. The author also presents...
Software and computer systems are tested during all development phases. The user requirements and functional specifications documents are reviewed by programmers and typical anticipated users. The design specifications are reviewed by peers in one to two day sessions and the source code is inspected by peers, if necessary. Finally, the function and performance of the system is tested by typical anticipated...
Limited by the real experiment teaching condition, it becomes an inevitable choice to carry out the online experiment teaching for modern distance higher education in the present stage in China, and this requires China's modern distance higher education to construct the experiment network courses. According to the problems of the students' lower participation in the demonstration experiment, the higher...
Millivolt switches will not only improve energy efficiency, but will enable a new capability to manage the energy-reliability tradeoff. By effectively utilizing this system-level capability, it may be possible to obtain one or two additional generations of scaling beyond current projections. Millivolt switches will enable further energy scaling, a process that is expected to continue until the technology...
This paper proposes a didactical strategy accordingly with some of the current challenges of the higher engineering education. In the attempt to stem the decrease of students' motivation in pursuing the study of technological disciplines, the system's response was to organize outdoor laboratories or to locate them in spaces dedicated to scientific research along with applying the PBL (Project Based...
This paper discusses the model to create and implement the exploratory “Engage K-12 students in engineering” program to inspire K-12 students to pursue careers in engineering disciplines. Through this program, the K-12 students will participate in engineering project activities with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) components. Engage K-12 students in engineering will (a) raise...
The reality interactive technology contributes to add some real interactive teaching concepts and phenomena in science, and the creation of an interactive learning environment for active SAFE mimic reality, so interactive Simulations in teaching science is a fundamental pillar for the development of understanding of the learners to the concepts of scientific facts more attractive and suspense of the...
Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated (BTL), the Research and Development arm of AT&T is well known for its contributions to basic science in the field of communications. Another important mission of BTL was the initiation, development and introduction to manufacture of communications equipment that provided AT&T customers with the most advanced and reliable communication services. This...
The target model of the NRNU MEPhI provides, in particular, the transition to the use of distance learning platforms, integrated with the international educational environment and social learning networking. A special place in education network is allocated to computer tools to support the learning process. These tools include Cyber Learning Platform for Nuclear Education and Training (CLP4NET) related...
