A process control training simulator can enhance learning by integrating the theoretical abstraction of textbooks with the tactile nature of the lab and plant. The primary objective of a training simulator is education. It can motivate, help with visualization, and provide hands-on practice and experience. This article explores the use and benefits of the Control Station training simulator for ...

Catastrophic mass casualty events (MCEs), such as pandemic influenza outbreaks, earthquakes, or large-scale terrorism-related events, quickly and suddenly yield thousands of victims whose needs overwhelm local and regional health care systems, personnel, and resources. Such conditions require deploying scarce resources in a manner that is different from the more common multiple casualty event. ...

It is increasingly usual to find notions of artificial neural networks (ANNs) included in the curricula of many engineering studies. In this article, we present Neuro-Lab, a simulation software to teach basic concepts of ANNs to undergraduate students of the Computer Engineering School in the University of Vigo (Spain). Neuro-Lab was designed with the aim of offering a very easy-to-use user int...

BACKGROUND Although concept mapping was created in the early 1980s, research in nursing education first appeared in 1992. This literature review analyzes the impact of concept mapping in nursing education. METHOD A total of 221 articles, books, and book chapters were reviewed on the topic of concept mapping in nursing education. RESULTS Results indicate that concept-mapping research progres...

In this article, we present a new framework oriented to teach Computer Vision related subjects called JavaVis. It is a computer vision library divided in three main areas: 2D package is featured for classical computer vision processing; 3D package, which includes a complete 3D geometric toolset, is used for 3D vision computing; Desktop package comprises a tool for graphic designing and testing ...

We present a new educational platform for teaching reconfigurable logic. The new platform includes two FPGAs, separate instruction and data buses, serial and parallel port connections, and extensive I/O connections for interfacing with other reconfigurable computing boards. The platform was successfully tested at the University of New Mexico, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of...
