CRCD: An Active, Collaborative Learning Program in Smart Home Technologies

0203499Manfred hubertexas大学阿灵顿分校“智能家居技术的积极协作学习计划”该项目为学生提供了机会，通过智能家居技术研究的知识进步的转移，参与教育经验，为他们在不断扩大的嵌入式智能系统领域的劳动力做好准备。该项目侧重于德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校（UTA）和德克萨斯基督教大学（TCU）的高级本科和研究生课程。该项目的课程开发利用了两所大学的计算机科学和工程部门的专业知识，并用于增加各种工程学科的课程。在这个项目中开发的新课程元素结合了机器学习、需求建模、产品开发过程、移动机器人和多智能体系统等领域的最新进展。智能家居技术提供了一种工具来调查和整合这些不同的主题，因此代表了一个适合跨学科团队项目的环境，在这个项目中，具有不同专业知识的学生学习合作解决任务。UTA的智能家居实验室和TCU的类似实验室（智能青蛙公寓）配备了各种传感器和设备，为学生提供实践体验。这两个相似的实验室允许实验在很大程度上可以互换，以确保最有效地利用两所大学的资源和现有专业知识。

0203499Manfred HuberUniversity of Texas Arlington"An Active, Collaborative Learning Program in Smart Home Technologies"This project provides opportunities for students, through the transfer of knowledge advances from research in Smart Home technologies, to engage in educational experiences that prepare them for the workforce in the expanding area of embedded, smart systems. The project focuses on the upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate curricula at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and Texas Christian University (TCU). The curriculum developments enabled by this project draw from expertise in the computer science and the engineering departments of both institutions and are also used to augment courses within various engineering disciplines. New course elements developed in this project incorporate state-of-the-art advances in fields such as Machine Learning, Requirements Modeling, Product Development Processes, Mobile robotics, and Multi-agent systems. Smart Home technology provides a vehicle to investigate and integrate these diverse topics and thus represents an environment suitable for cross-disciplinary team projects in which students with different expertise learn to cooperate to address a task. A Smart Home lab at UTA and a similar lab (Smart Frog Condo) at TCU are equipped with a variety of sensors and devices to provide hands-on experiences for students. These two similar labs permit experiments to be largely interchangeable to ensure the most efficient use of resources and available expertise at the two universities.
