Undergraduate, laser physics laboratoryIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 227-230 - 2002
R.J. Knize, W.R. White, B.V. Zhdanov
The authors have developed a senior-level undergraduate laboratory course with an integrated theme of lasers and optics to teach experimental methods and reinforce fundamental physics concepts. This laboratory includes six experiments concerning modulators, laser kinetics, waveguiding, CO/sub 2/ laser operation, ultrashort pulse characterization, and nonlinear optics. The authors discuss the philo...... hiện toàn bộ

Application of SPICE simulation to study WDM and SCM systems using EDFAs with chirpingIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 238-244 - 2002
Jau-Ji Jou, Cheng-Kuang Liu
The authors have proposed an equivalent electrical circuit model of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), including the chirping effect for teaching or studying the distortions and performance of lightwave transmission systems. Through the aid of a SPICE circuit simulator, its validity is demonstrated by analyzing the cross modulations of an eight-channel wavelength division multiplexing system. ...... hiện toàn bộ

Understanding and implementing computer network protocols through a lab projectIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 276-284 - 2002
M.W. El-Kharashi, G. Darling, B. Marykuca, G.C. Shoja
This paper describes a lab project in computer communications and networks for senior undergraduate students in computer science and engineering. Given detailed specifications, students are asked to implement a data link layer (DLL) that integrates correctly with other provided layers to obtain a complete working network stack. This lab gives the students the opportunity to learn how to read forma...... hiện toàn bộ

Patterns in student-student commentingIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 262-267 - 2002
R. Rada, Ke Hu
The virtual classroom under consideration supports students submitting exercise answers online and comments on exercise answers that include numerical scores. Automated quality control procedures track the student scores. The patterns of scores vary as a function of the pragmatic import of these student scores. Clear consequences of commenting must be enforced in the classroom before students will...... hiện toàn bộ

Teaching performance evaluation of multiprocessor architectures with Mathcad and MathConnexIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 231-237 - 2002
A.A. Veglis, C.A. Barbargires, A.S. Pombortsis
This paper presents the development of an interactive environment that facilitates the performance evaluation of multiprocessor architectures with Mathcad and MathConnex. This environment was primarily designed for utilization as an interactive computer laboratory exercise for teaching undergraduate students of the Computer Science Department at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.

Applications of SPICE simulation software to the study of reliability and availability in electrical engineering educationIEEE Transactions on Education - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 209-217 - 2002
M.T. Abuelma'atti, I.S. Qamber
The effectiveness of SPICE in calculating probabilities, reliability, steady-state availability, and mean time to failure of repairable systems described by Markov models is demonstrated. Two examples are presented. The first example is a two-unit, warm standby, microcomputer system with self-reset function and repair facility. The second example is a robotic system comprising two identical robots...... hiện toàn bộ
