Template-Based Undergraduate Education in Wireless Application Development

工程-电气（55）这个项目正在开发无线移动设备软件应用开发领域的学习模块。正在开发的模块可以纳入传统的通信系统和技术课程，或作为独立学习或高级设计课程的组成部分提供。学习模块还结合了主动和协作学习策略。该项目的具体目标是：(1)开发一个移动电话无线应用程序库，其中每个应用程序可以作为学生开发自己项目的模板；(2)开发相关学习模块，教学生开发、编译和嵌入移动电话应用程序的过程；(3)开发移动电话应用程序，使学生能够探索各种基本通信和信号处理原理。包括卷积和快速傅里叶变换。该项目还在开发一个手机应用程序，使学生能够使用手机，而不是单一用途的点击器，作为课堂响应系统的一部分。无线应用程序库和相关的学习模块可以从该项目的网站上免费下载。该项目包括由独立评估人员协调的项目各方面的形成性和总结性评估计划。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This project is developing learning modules in the area of software application development for wireless mobile devices. The modules are being developed such that they can be incorporated into conventional communication systems and technology courses or offered as components of independent-study or senior design courses. The learning modules are also incorporating active and collaborative learning strategies. The specific goals of the project are (1) to develop a wireless application library for cellular phones where each application can serve as a template for students to develop their own projects, (2) to develop associated learning modules to teach students the process of developing, compiling, and embedding applications in cellular phones, and (3) to develop cellular phone applications that allow students to explore a variety of fundamental communications and signal processing principles, including convolution and the fast Fourier transform. The project is also developing a cellular phone application that enables students to use cellular phones, rather than single purpose clickers, as part of a classroom response system. The wireless application library and associated learning modules are being made available for free download from the project's website. The project includes formative and summative evaluation plans for all aspects of the project coordinated by an independent evaluator.
