Big Data Technology, Logistics Engineering and General Education Courses

Nondestructive Evaluation Courses for Undergraduate Engineering and Engineering Technology Students

Two nondestructive evaluation (NDE) laboratory-based courses were developed for Engineering and Engineering Technology (ET) students of Drexel University. The ultrasound NDE laboratory allows for participation in laboratory activities in two modes: the traditional face-to-face classroom mode for students on Drexel’s campus, and a real-time, Internet-based mode for those at remote locations. Dur...

Big Data Interoperability Challenges for Logistics

Analysis of real time information can be used to leverage logistic value chains and processes. It enables organizations to become more flexible and efficient. With the continued explosion of available data, challenges are aplenty for logistic companies on how to use such data for meaningful service improvements. Capturing, storing and analyzing such data, extracting useful information, are repr...

Computational Math, Science, and Technology (C-MST) Approach to General Education Courses

In this paper, we present a computational approach to teaching general education courses that expose students to science and computing principles in engaging contexts, including modeling and simulation, games, and history. The courses use scalable curriculum modules organized in layers of increasing difficulties in order to balance learning challenges and student abilities. We describe the comp...

A pilot "big data" education modular curriculum for engineering graduate education: Development and implementation

Reusing Streaming Contents in Engineering and Education Courses

Bologna’s process and the opening of university teaching to new educational scenarios provide an opportunity for the implementation of innovative and active methodologies. This paper describes a practice implemented by the share and reuse of learning contents using streaming technology. Streaming technology was used since it promotes the support of pedagogical activity as a dynamic resource and...
