Designing a Gamification Course for an Higher Education Audience

George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering, Room: ENG 288

Friday May 26, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. Dr. Sergio A. A. Freitas, Associate Professor in the Gama Engineering College (FGA) and Director of the Distance Education Center at the University of Brasilia (UnB), Brazil, will be presenting “Designing a Gamification Course for an Higher Education Audience”. Day & Time: Friday May 26, 2017 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m Speaker: Dr. Sergio A. A. Freitas Associate Professor in the Gama Engineering College (FGA) Director of the Distance Education Center University of Brasilia (UnB), Brazil Location: Ryerson University George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering Room: ENG 288 245 Church Street Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3 Contact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour Organizers: IEEE Toronto (WIE, Measurement/Instrumentation-Robotics, Magnetics chapters), Computer Science Department of Ryerson University Abstract: The gamification of activities in classrooms has become of great interest in higher education. Today’s students have a lot of experience in virtual environments and games, and researchers who have tested/used gamification in their classrooms have reported an increase in student engagement and retention. This course presents a four step process to create a gamified course: Identifying the students’ profile (step 1) and the gamification object (step 2), creating the gamification project (step 3), and finally, implementing the gamification project (step 4). At the end of the workshop it is expected that the participant will be able to design a basic gamified course. Biography: Dr. Sergio A. A. Freitas is currently an Associate Professor in the Gama Engineering College (FGA) and Director of the Distance Education Center at the University of Brasilia (UnB), Brazil. He is also the coordinator of research in the FGA Software Factory Laboratory. His current research projects focus on interdisciplinary studies and applications of learning methodologies on engineering undergraduate courses, and software engineering methodologies. Prof. Freitas areas of expertise include gamification, PBL, virtual learning environments in education and training, and software engineering methodologies. Dr. Freitas has coauthored journal publications, conference articles and book chapters in the aforementioned topics, and has coordinated and participated on many projects from various funding agencies CNPq, FAP-ES, FAP-DF, Cebraspe, and Brazilian Federal Ministries.

Engineering the Internet of Things – Digital Twin Seminar

George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering Room: ENG 288, 245 Church Street, Toronto

Friday April 28, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. IEEE Toronto and SimuTech Group will be hosting the seminar “Engineering the Internet of Things – Digital Twin”. Day & Time: Friday April 28, 2017 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Location: Ryerson University George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering Room: ENG 288 245 Church Street Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3 Cost: Free including lunch Register: http://go.simutechgroup.com/ieee-iot-digital-twin-toronto Contact: SimuTech Group – Mohsen Tayefeh IEEE Toronto – Dr. Maryam Davoudpour Organizers: IEEE Toronto (WIE, Signals & Computational Intelligence, Measurement/Instrumentation-Robotics, Magnetics chapters), Computer Science Department of Ryerson University, SimuTech Group (ANSYS Elite Channel partner) Abstract: High-tech–industry product development teams routinely use coupled multiphysics software to analyze the trade-offs among speed, bandwidth, signal integrity, power integrity, thermal performance and EMI/EMC. The Internet of Things is a network of smart products, or “things”, that use embedded sensors, software, and electronics to communicate with each other over a network. The communication data can be analyzed by cloud based software to derive actionable information, leading to predictive and prescriptive outcomes. In this seminar, the following topics will be discussed: – Engineering the Internet of Things – 5 Engineering Challenges for Smart Product Development – Case Study: Search and Rescue Drone-Satellite System – Signal Integrity/EMI/EMC, Human body, Federal Regulations – User experience – Wearable devices (Multiphysics Simulation) – Digital Twin – GE and ANSYS collaboration – Case Study: prescriptive maintenance case study – Lunch – RF Antenna placement – Step by step workshop – Antenna analysis – PCB design – Power Integrity – Thermal management (CFD) – Networking, Door prize/draw (Drone)
