Pros And Cons

Information technology and telecommunication is considered a new and quickly evolving branch of science. New technologies and services in IT and telecommunications impose successive changes and updates on related engineering majors, especially in practical qualification that includes using software facilities. This chapter aims to join the efforts to spread the use of open source software in academic education. The chapter consists of two main sections. The first presents the trend of using open source software in higher education and discusses pros and cons of using open source software in engineering education. The second section presents network traffic analysis as an example of recent effective research topics and provides a set of open source tools to perform the research's practical steps. The research example with the suggested tools is valid as practical lab work for telecommunication and IT-related majors.

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used in industry but is not discussed sufficiently in undergraduate engineering education. In some cases, CFD is studied only from a mathematical perspective, focusing on computational partial differential equations, and in some cases it is introduced as a black-box tool. A hybrid CFD class was developed for undergraduate and graduate students at the University of New Hampshire, which combines the two approaches. The students are exposed to the mathematics and physics behind CFD, and they also utilize OpenFOAM — an open source CFD package — to work on practical problems. Since the code is open-source, the students are able to see and modify it. Although OpenFOAM is challenging due to the minimum graphical user interface, the code-base environment forces the students to learn what the code is doing. Sample assignments and project submissions from the students are presented in the paper.

This article describes the hardware design of the iCub humanoid robot. The iCub is an open-source humanoid robotic platform designed explicitly to support research in embodied cognition. This paper covers the mechanical and electronic design of the first release of the robot. A series upgrades developed for the second version of the robot (iCub2), which are aimed at the improvement of the mechanical and sensing performance, are also described.

The Impact

In this paper, the subject of embedded systems education in the Arduino age is examined. Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform that has been widely popular in the past decade among hobbyists and academics. Arduino is increasingly being adopted in courses that span different disciplines in schools and universities. As a result, numerous papers are being published every year in different engineering education conferences and journals reporting the integration of Arduino in teaching. In this work, the impact of Arduino on embedded systems education is investigated. First, challenges facing embedded systems education are identified from the literature. Second, different Arduino teaching integration methodologies reported in the literature are surveyed and analyzed. Third, the question whether Arduino successfully addresses embedded education challenges or not is discussed taking both surveyed findings and recent market trends into consideration. Finally, a number of open-ended research directions are proposed.
