The following courses were transformed from a traditional lecture to a hybrid instruction model in order to enable an active learning environment and improve student learning outcomes and engagement:
Electric Circuits (EK 307)
Engineering Mechanics I (EK301)
Introduction to Engineering Computation (EK 127)
Instrumentation and Theory of Experiments (ME310)
Professor Little belongs to the Information System and Sciences (ISS) Laboratory, the Multimedia Communications Laboratory, and the Center for Information and Systems Engineering. His current research interests covers mobile ad hoc, opportunistic and delay tolerant networking; vehicular (V2Vand V2) networking; video streaming in wireless sensor nets; communications with Led and ambient computing.
Professor Farny’s chief research interests center on physical acoustics, with a focus on medical applications of ultrasound. His past research has examined effects of bubble cavitation on ultrasound-induced heating in tissue, and diagnostic methods for detecting the presence and location of cavitation during sonication. Most recently he has focused on developing novel methods for imaging brain structure through the skull with ultrasound.
Professor Attaway coordinates and teaches the introductory engineering course for freshmen. Using MATLAB as the platform for instruction, she uses the approach of teaching basic programming concepts and the efficient use of built-in functions side-by-side. In 2009 she published a book detailing this innovative approach.
Professor Attaway is the Director of Curricular Assessment and Improvement for the College of Engineering. In this capacity, she coordinates the curricular assessment and improvement programs within the College, in order to better the academic experience of the undergraduates.
Professor Carruthers received his Ph.D. (1997) and M.S. (1993) from the University of California, Berkeley, in Electrical Engineering. He received his B.Eng (1990) at Carleton University (Canada) in Computer Systems Engineering.
Dr. Carruthers is a Senior Member of IEEE, IEEE Communications Society and the IASTED Technical Committee on Telecommunications.
