Non-engineering faculty often find the engineering quantitative mindset and ability to conduct numeric analysis helpful in their research, yielding valuable results not otherwise discernible by either specialty alone. New engineering faculty can find such work helpful to launch their careers by exposing them to a wealth of productive research topics relatively untouched by single-discipline res...

The computation-as-cognitionmetaphor requires that all cognitive objects are constructed from a fixed set of basic primitives; prominent models of cognition and perception try to provide that fixed set. Despite this effort, however, there are no extant computational models that can actually generate complex concepts and processes from simple and generic basic sets, and there are good reasons to...

Language affects perception. But how? Recent findings (Boutonnet & Lupyan, 2015; Bocanegra, Poletiek & Zwaan, submitted) suggest a dissociation between perception that is mediated as compared to not mediated by language. One explanation is that language –that is combinatorial in naturestresses the separate features of objects. We investigated the effect of combinatorial (two words) and non-comb...

We’ve all tried things that didn’t work. We’ve enthusiastically introduced a flipped classroom format that the learners didn’t flip over. We’ve carefully crafted research projects only to realize that the hypothesis was woefully ill-conceived. We’ve implemented new assessment strategies that generated lots of data, but left us with little insight into student performance. We’ve all been there. ...

With the increasing advancements in technology, our lives have become significantly more convenient. We now automated many things. One example of such things is number plate recognition system. There are ways to perform ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). Performing wild still remains a big challenge. This review focuses on some techniques that tried overcome this
