The Integrated Systems Engineering Laboratory- An Innovative Approach To Vertical Integration Using Modern Instrumentation, Ajay Mahajan, Maurice Walworth, David Mcdonald, Kevin Scmaltz Apr 2015

The Integrated Systems Engineering Laboratory- An Innovative Approach To Vertical Integration Using Modern Instrumentation, Ajay Mahajan, Maurice Walworth, David Mcdonald, Kevin Scmaltz

The current paradigm in engineering course instruction builds on a lecture prerequisite structure but ignores the need for a laboratory prerequisite structure. Educational quality is therefore diminished as instructors optimize specific laboratories but fail to optimize the overall program laboratory experience. This paper presents a learning environment based on modern instrumentation that forces students to use not only concepts and skills acquired from the lecture, but also actual data and models acquired from lower division laboratories, in upper division laboratories. The vertical integration occurs because students must utilize their previous laboratory work as a reference and/or building blocks as they …

This project improves student awareness of science and technology and increases the retention of freshman students. This goal requires a curriculum development process that creates a pilot course to provide a survey of modern technology. The pilot course leads to a permanent offering in engineering technology that will serve as an orientation course for technology students. The course also serves as a general education elective course to provide general students, including teacher education majors, with a survey of science in modern technology. The course uses active learning experiences as an orientation process to foster student success in technical careers. These …

This paper presents high-throughput techniques for implementing FSM based string matching hardware on FPGAs. By taking advantage of the fact that string matching operations for different packets are independent, a novel multi-threading FSM design is presented, which dramatically increases the FSM frequency and the throughput of string matching operations. In addition, design techniques for high-speed interconnect and interface circuits for the proposed FSM are also presented. Experimental results conducted on FPGA platforms are presented to study the effectiveness of the proposed techniques and explore the trade-offs between system performance, strings partition granularity and hardware resource cost.
