Plenary Session

Room: Ballroom

Building a Teaching Academy at Your University — What a Faculty Member or Administrator Can DoMembers of Frontiers in Education know much about university teaching that could—and should—be shared with educators across our home campuses. It is especially important to share outside of STEM fields where research about education is not as robust. But how to share such information on one's own campus? Enter: the teaching academy.A teaching academy is a member-driven organization designed to enhance teaching. A teaching academy can serve as a center for teaching or coordinate with an already established center. It need not have even one paid staff or even a budget in the beginning. Activities that are common for teaching academies include having members offer workshops, lead learning communities, induct new members, honor teaching award winners, host celebrations of teaching, as well as observe and give feedback on colleagues' online or face-to-face classes.In this plenary session, Dr. Gray will address how to begin a teaching academy at your university as well as how to build upon an existing one. She will discuss how even one faculty or administrator can create a groundswell of support, demonstrate the impact of the academy, and raise money as necessary.Tara Gray, Ph.D., serves as associate professor of criminal justice and as founding director of the New Mexico State University Teaching Academy. The Academy was established in 2003. In the five years before the Academy was founded, while working as an associate professor of criminal justice, Dr. Gray directed two popular short courses, raised the money necessary to support them and bring in a half dozen speakers per year, and began building the faculty and administrative support for a Teaching Academy. Today, the Teaching Academy is a full-service center, working to improve student learning by providing professional development to New Mexico State educators.Dr. Gray was educated at the United States Naval Academy, Southwestern College in Kansas and Oklahoma State, where she earned her Ph.D. in economics by asking, "Do prisons pay?" She taught economics at Denison University before joining the Department of Criminal Justice at NMSU. Dr. Gray has published three books, including Publish & Flourish: Become a Prolific Scholar. She has been honored at New Mexico State and nationally with eight awards for teaching or service.Dr. Gray has presented faculty development workshops to 8,000 participants in more than a hundred colleges and universities, thirty-five states, and Thailand, Guatemala, Mexico, Canada, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Workshop participants report that she is "spirited, entertaining, and informative—she's anything but gray!™"

Exhibitor Showcase - ARM

Room: Juarez A

A VLSI Design Flow for Designing and Developing a System-on-Chip (SoC) around the ARM Cortex-M0 Processor IP Verilog Core.System-on-Chip design education often takes a top down approach, teaching concepts of hardware-software co-design that favor embedded software development. While these techniques are very important, they omit teaching important skills needed to design and debug the increasingly complex hardware of the systems-on-chip in demand. We chose instead a bottom up approach, teaching the techniques needed to develop high quality system-level models and validate them in a complex system. This workshop will take participants through an overview and selected assignments of the NCSU System-on-Chip design curriculum, focusing on the use of the ARM Cortex-M0 Design Start processor and Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA). Topics include system assembly, transaction-level modeling, logic design and verification, and physical design.Presenter: Dr. W Rhett Davis, Professor of ECE, North Carolina State University

Room: Juarez A

Frontiers in Engineering Statistics: The Rise of Analytical EngineeringThe nature of engineering data is changing, and statistics education for engineers is changing too. Huge volumes of data are now collected passively through sensors, and massive consumer surveys about product design and needs result in messy, high dimensional data requiring sophisticated cleaning and analysis. The modern engineer must learn not only statistical theory, but must be equipped to efficiently and effectively analyze real-world data. In this session Dr. Julian Parris, JMP Academic Ambassador, will demonstrate the core features of JMP 12 Statistical Software appropriate for the modern analytical engineer, including classical methods like DOE and quality control, as well as modern methods such as data mining, predictive analytics, and of course JMP's industry-leading data visualization capabilities. - (Free trial available at jmp.com)Presenter: Julian L.

Hands-on Hardware Workshop with the Raspberry PiAbstract: This showcase is based on Simulink Support Package for Raspberry Pi. Simulink® has long been the tool of choice of the industry (automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc.), since it provides a very user-friendly, collaborative and flexible environment for designing, simulating, testing and eventually implementing, complex, multi-domain systems and their control logic.Simulink includes the capability to program low-cost hardware like LEGO® Mindstorms® robots, Arduino®, Raspberry Pi®, and many others. This new capability enables students to develop and test a variety of controls, signal, image and video processing related applications, from within Simulink and Stateflow®.You will have a chance to work through lab modules with examples of image and video processing. You will gain practical hands-on experience in building high-level examples yourselves. Additionally, participating faculty members would have a chance to understand the potential for use in the classroom with students.At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:1. design, simulate and test custom algorithms in Simulink2. implement these algorithms on low-cost embedded hardware such as Raspberry Pi without writing any C-code3. see how easy it is to program low-cost hardware with SimulinkThis showcase is for instructors teaching courses using the Arduino, Raspberry Pi or similar low-cost hardware platforms.
