In the classroom
Professor Rashmi Jain
Professor Rashmi Jain (Stevens Institute of Technology) gave an intensive lecture on "System Architecture and Design" and "Systems Integration" on December 13 - 15 and December 16 - 20, respectively. Each series was attended by approximately 25 students.
In the first series of lectures on system architecture and design, students learned about the processes to be followed before breaking into group work on the topic of ATMs. They were given a requirements document, from which they were asked to identify the functional architecture and then investigate ways to further improve system functions. The second series of lectures focused on group work on the topic of systems integration for hybrid vehicles. Students learned about subsystem input/output relationships and interfaces. Clear lectures and appropriate group work made this an extremely satisfying experience for all who participated.
