Technology and Innovation for 21st Century Engineering Educators
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are at the heart of today's high tech global economy. A robust educational experience is critical, not only for an engineering student's success, but also to prepare them for real life experiences and to help them contribute to resolving 21st century engineering challenges. Technology can be a catalyst to begin the paradigm shift to change what we teach, and how we teach students today. This workshop will cover HP technologies, research and innovations for the Engineering Classroom and will highlight a customer use model that embodies these solutions as well as the Open Innovation Programs at HP Labs.

Creating opportunities for hands-on learning in the classroom, lab and dorm room with student-affordable instrumentation
Shekhar Sharad, Senior Product Manager, National Instruments
The need for lifelong learning in engineering education has never been more imminent. The ability to create an environment where students can apply the engineering skills that they learn in the classroom in all other aspects of their life will help in creating excitement and retention of students. However, one of the major challenges in being able to apply the engineering knowledge outside of the classroom is the availability of students affordable instrumentation and design systems. In this paper, we will explain our research process of collecting feedback and understanding the needs of a student based instrumentation system, the survey of existing student affordable systems and the end result of creating a student affordable data acquisition and instrumentation system. We will discuss how such a device enables students in multiple disciplines to do engineering in all environments including the classroom, the lab and dorm room and how educators can expand on the system and bring more value to engineering.

ARM
MBED - A platform for rapid prototyping
Joe Bungo, Senior Applications Engineer
With the falling costs and increasing complexities of processors, microcontrollers are becoming cheaper, more powerful and interactive. They are now truly solutions looking for problems, where anyone could conceive a microcontroller application. The problem until now has been turning the idea into a prototype quickly and experimenting with the technology. ARM has changed this with MBED, a rapid prototyping platform designed to simplify getting started with microcontrollers. Using a web based compiler and a very simple drag-and-drop interface, applications are developed without the need for expensive tools, and a new user can write and execute a "hello world" program in about sixty seconds.
