Navi, K.; Molahosseini, A. S.; Esmaeildoust, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
The residue number system (RNS) has been an important research field in computer arithmetic for many decades, mainly because of its carry-free nature, which can provide high-performance computing architectures with superior delay specifications. Recently, research on RNS has found new directions that have resulted in the introduction of efficient…

Leppavirta, J.; Kettunen, H.; Sihvola, A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Complex multistep problem exercises are one way to enhance engineering students' learning of electromagnetics (EM). This study investigates whether exposure to complex problem exercises during an introductory EM course improves students' conceptual and procedural knowledge. The performance in complex problem exercises is compared to prior success…

Lee, C. P.; Uluagac, A. S.; Fairbanks, K. D.; Copeland, J. A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
This paper describes a competition-style of exercise to teach system and network security and to reinforce themes taught in class. The exercise, called NetSecLab, is conducted on a closed network with student-formed teams, each with their own Linux system to defend and from which to launch attacks. Students are expected to learn how to: 1) install…
