Teaching Sustainable Design: A Hands-on Interdisciplinary Model

Facilitating Interdisciplinary Hands-On Learning Using LabVIEW*

The College-wide Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder’s College of Engineering and Applied Science serves six departments and more than 2,400 undergraduate students. The ITL hands-on learning approach places a strong emphasis on enhancing engineering education through the integration of experiments that use computerized data acquisition, and in...

Hands-On NLP For An Interdisciplinary Audience

The need for a single NLP offering for a diverse mix of graduate students (including computer scientists, information scientists, and linguists) has motivated us to develop a course that provides students with a breadth of understanding of the scope of real world applications, as well as depth of knowledge of the computational techniques on which to build in later experiences. We describe the t...

Teaching Hands-On Enterprise Systems

Teaching TCP/IP Hands-On

Instructors often teach computer networking at the abstract level of protocol definitions, possibly combined with programming exercises concerned with using the socket interface to construct distributed applications. But there’s an alternative. TCP/IP Essentials: A Lab-Based Approach, by Shivendra Panwar, Shiwen Mao, Jeong-Dong Ryoo, and Yihan Li, and Computer Networking: Internet Protocols in ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
