(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Nurturing design skills in students is in the heart of all engineering curricula. While academic courses and capstone activities inject the design process in students, involvement in practical design activities is believed ...
Contribution of Shell Eco-Marathon engineering design experience to soft skills development: A qualitative analysis in the Asian context
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. Engineering curricula have been frequently criticized. Engineering design experience is one remedial way of heavy theory ...
Mobile wireless sensor networks applied to the survey of water infrastructures
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
The paper reports our last advances in the realization of mobile wireless sensor networks (WSNs), able to reveal unknown tracks and leakages within underground pipelines used to distribute water. This WSN technology is ...
