Premier Courseware of 2001
On Friday, October 12, 2001, the Premier Courseware of 2001 were announced at the 2001 Frontiers in Education at an awards ceremony sponsored by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Demonstrations in Signals, Systems and Control by Wilson J. Rugh, et. al at Johns Hopkins University. Three modules are recognized as the Premier Courseware of 2001: Joy of Convolution (Discrete Time) with Steve Crutchfield, Interactive Lecture Module: Harmonic Phasors and Fourier Series with Hsi Chen Lee, and Sense and Sensitivities with Seth Kahn. Demonstrations in Signals, Systems and Control is a set of web-based modules that supplements instruction through learning both inside and outside the engineering classroom. The website contains numerous Java applets covering a wide range of concepts in signals, systems and control. These well designed modules provide audio introductions to topics, interactive exercises and quizzes to assess learning. The modules focus on concepts that are difficult to express, such as convolution, and those that are difficult to present, such as closed loop bandwidth. Interactive simulations serve to heighten understanding and provide meaningful examples. Demonstrations in Signals, Systems and Control is easily adaptable for use in classrooms everywhere.
This instructional courseware package was chosen through a rigorous application and review process and represents excellence in the use of computer-based instructional media to enhance engineering education. The Premier Courseware has distinctive strengths, representing the breadth of styles, sophistication, pedagogies, and use of multimedia that should encourage incorporation of courseware in the classroom.
Finalist Candidates also Available
In addition to the Premier Courseware of 2001 (see above), NEEDS is proud to recognize the three finalist candidates in the 2001 Premier Award competition. These three courseware packages are included on the 2001 Premier Award CD and can also be found through the NEEDS Website. NEEDS congratulates:
