Web-based multimedia tutorials are being developed for use in several undergraduate courses in electrical engineering and computer and systems engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. These interactive learning modules (ILMs) are created with the Director authoring environment and can be deployed using a standard Web browser with Macromedia's Shockwave plug-in as the interface. The ILMs can be used by faculty for in-class presentations and demonstrations, by students for in-class, structured exercises (particularly in the studio format of course delivery) and by students anytime, anywhere via the Internet to explore concepts in more detail and gain practical experience in design and application. The ILMs are developed to provide application-based motivation for learning, present fundamental concepts using animation and visualization and provide interactive practice on problem-solving and open-ended design experience. ILMs are now available on the 555 timer IC, an electrical engineering fundamentals handbook (EE handbook), an electronics circuit card manufacturing handbook, common-emitter amplifier design, analog filters, operational amplifiers, Fourier analysis and convolution. They are currently being used in introductory courses in circuits, electronics, instrumentation and signals and systems, all of which are moving to the studio format. Initial experiences by both faculty and students have been very positive. The combination of interactive learning modules and the studio format of course delivery present a fundamentally new model for the delivery of engineering education.

The subjects computersystems Analysis and computersystems Design within the computersystemsengineering degree at UTS concern themselves with the specification, architecture, design and implementation of a computer based system of moderate complexity, covering electrical and mechanical hardware, computer hardware and software. Students are expected to develop the system to appropriate standards, using suitable techniques, within a defined process and operating within a team. The computer based system is concerned with the problem of the automatic assembly of (pseudo) chocolates into (pseudo) chocolate boxes. There are a variety of boxes and a variety of chocolates, which have to be assembled to (operator entered) orders. The class is divided into teams. A team comprises five groups. Each of four groups is responsible for one of the major subassemblies, and the fifth group is responsible for the systemsengineering and telecommunications. The major subassemblies are the assembly robot, the box conveyor and (Vision) recognition system, the chocolate recognition system, and the supervisory control system. The project has been running for five years and this paper summarises the history, reports on the development and analyses educational aspects. Student appreciation of the subjects has been entirely positive, with the most often made comment that finally they have understood why they have studied engineering for the previous four to five years.

This paper presents Toshiba Corporation's computer application systemsengineering center (CASEC). First, an overview of CASEC is described, including the center's production environment. Then, some of the management systems-including SOFPIT (software profit improvement tactics) designed for delegated cost management, and Toshiba's corporate-wide software-reuse library system. The decades of experience have demonstrated that the production of high-quality software is heavily dependent on human factors. For this reason the authors devised schemes and mechanisms to enforce basic rules for software production and management. These mechanisms include involving management and experts in the design-review process, FFQM (feed forward quality management), the introduction of management-level rankings, and software QCC (quality control circles) activities. Finally, the paper presents an education system by which CASEC trains systems engineers and programmers.< >

Software engineers today should be knowledgeable in computersystems, which encompasses electronics hardware, software, and networking. Because computersystemsengineering is a very broad and rapidly changing discipline, there is a need to have a unified methodology for both students and practitioners. Patterns, and pattern languages for software development have received considerable attention over the last few years, and this approach, based on work originally done in architecture and urban planning, supports methodology development, dissemination, and evolution. This paper discusses patterns and pattern languages of computersystems as unifying themes and underpinnings for undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Most of a sample curriculum has been implemented within undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in computersystemsengineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia. The sample curriculum is described here, along with preliminary feedback from students and lecturers. The net result is steps toward a methodology that allows students to learn to systematically develop computer software, electronics hardware, and networked systems.

Changes in the Atmospheric Electric Field Signal(AEFS) are highly correlated with weather changes, especially with thunderstorm activities. However, little attention has been paid to the ambiguous weather information implicit in AEFS changes. In this paper, a Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering method is used for the first time to develop an innovative approach to characterize the weather attributes carried by AEFS. First, a time series dataset is created in the time domain using AEFS attributes. The AEFS-based weather is evaluated according to the time-series Membership Degree(MD) changes obtained by inputting this dataset into the FCM. Second, thunderstorm intensities are reflected by the change in distance from a thunderstorm cloud point charge to an AEF apparatus. Thus, a matching relationship is established between the normalized distance and the thunderstorm dominant MD in the space domain. Finally, the rationality and reliability of the proposed method are verified by combining radar charts and expert experience. The results confirm that this method accurately characterizes the weather attributes and changes in the AEFS, and a negative distance-MD correlation is obtained for the first time. The detection of thunderstorm activity by AEF from the perspective of fuzzy set technology provides a meaningful guidance for interpretable thunderstorms.
