Stratosphärenflug
2023-07-15 10:00 - 13:00 | Innwiese, Universität Passau
Die Funkamateure Pocking (http://www.darc-u30.de/) starten mit uns, der IEEE SB Passau, einen Stratosphärenballon. Es handelt sich um einen leichten unbemannten Freiballon zu meteorologischen Zwecken.
Es ist der neunte Ballonstart den das Team von Funkamateuren mit Schülern und Studenten durchführt. In den letzten Jahren unter anderem im Zuge des Pockinger Stadtjubiläums während des Bürgerfestes, mit der Universität Passau von der Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik aus Ortenburg und dem Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium in Pocking. Als Ausweichtermin im Falle schlechten Wetters ist das Familienfest Landkreis Passau in Ruhstorf, Start vom Freibadgelände, vorgesehen.
Zum Ablauf: Nach Prüfung des Wetters und des Luftraums wird die Ballonhülle mit Helium gefüllt. Unterhalb wird mit einer reißfesten Leine die Kappe eines passenden Fallschirms befestigt. An dessen Fangleinen ist die Nutzlast in einem kleinen Styroporbehälter befestigt.
Die Nutzlast ist mit Sensoren ausgestattet, damit werden Messdaten zu Temperatur, Luftdruck, Luftfeuchtigkeit und Wolkenbildung erfasst. Zusätzlich befindet sich ein GPS-Empfänger und ein Sender mit in der Nutzlast. Die Position, Höhe, Richtung und Geschwindigkeit des Ballons wird permanent von einem von Funkamateuren betriebenen europaweiten Empfängernetzwerk eingespeist, sodass der gesamte Flug direkt online via Internet beobachtet und visualisiert werden kann.
Die Flugroute wird im Vorfeld anhand von Wettermodellen simuliert. Nach aktueller Simulation wird der Ballon in Österreich im Großraum Münzkirchen landen. Hierbei verhält es sich jedoch ähnlich wie mit der Wettervorhersage: je näher der Startzeitpunkt kommt desto genauer und verlässlicher ist die Vorausberechnung der Flugroute.
Die Gesamtmasse (gefüllter Ballon, Fallschirm, Leinen, Nutzlast) beträgt weniger als 4 kg.
Nach dem Start steigt der Ballon auf ca. 30-40 km Höhe auf. In der Stratosphäre platzt dann die Ballonhülle aufgrund des geringen Luftdrucks und die Sonde mit der Messtechnik gleitet sanft am Fallschirm wieder zu Boden.
Wir möchten uns bei allen Personen bedanken, die uns bei der Umsetzung dieses Events geholfen haben. Zuerst dem Funkamateure Ortsverband Pocking, bei allen Universitätsmitarbeitern, die uns unterstützt haben, der IEEE Germany Section und allen andere, die involviert waren.
Bei schlechtem Wetter verschieben wir den Start an folgende Ersatztermine:

16.07 Familienfest Pocking
23.07 Innwiese

Wir freuen uns riesig auf dieses Event und auf die zahlreichen Zuschauer.

TinyML Contest
2023-07-23 08:00 - 2023-07-25 17:00
The TinyML Contest at IEEE COINS is a challenging, multi-month, research and development competition, focusing on advanced, real-world problems in the fields of AI, Embedded Systems, and IoT. It is open to multi-person teams worldwide. The focus of this year’s contest is on Human activity recognition. Human activity recognition is a common machine learning task that is widely used in multiple domains. This technology uses data from various sensors to help monitor health conditions, recognize abnormal human activities for surveillance, track fitness workouts, and much more.
There are, of course, various challenges associated with implementing complex human activity recognition. To achieve the required accuracy on low-power devices like wearables, embedded engineers have to find ways to run machine learning models on platforms with limited memory and processing capacity. Experts, therefore, need to design neural networks with a size-accuracy ratio that is appropriate for a proposed machine learning task on a memory-constrained device.

GECon 2023 - Keynote Session: Digital laboratories as Open Educational Resources Challenges and Solutions
2023-08-02 08:00 - 2023-08-04 17:00 | Berlin, Germany
Keynote Session: Digital laboratories as Open Educational Resources Challenges and Solutions
Dear researcher, GECon 2023 is announcing a new Keynote Session on August 02th-04th related to online teaching. Due to the amount of work presented by German academic researchers on this topic, we hope this Keynote speech will support the research community efforts. We look forward to seeing you at this hybrid conference!!!

ABSTRACT: Web-based digital labs, which can be simulated, video-recorded, or installed remotely, significantly support knowledge transfer focused on the individual learner. With the advantage of omnipresent availability, the learner can set the pace of the learning process himself. At the same time, however, installing these systems presents the teacher with considerable technical and didactic challenges. The (few) open-source projects and commercial offers always define web-based simulations, remote labs, etc., as a closed learning environment. The teacher generates his materials – the actual digital laboratory and the associated materials – accordingly for a tiny circle of learners. Cooperative re-use of the elaborate setups is not possible in this way.
Implementing the core ideas of Open Educational Ressources (OER) – providing editable and disseminable content – defines solutions for the mentioned challenges. The talk addresses the state of the art on this track, discusses promising developments and identifies future challenges.

Sebastian Zug is a Professor for “Software Development and Robotics” at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany) since 2018. He studied mechanical engineering and received his Ph.D. in computer science from Otto-von-Guerike Universtät Magdeburg (Germany) in 2012. His research interests are focused on outdoor robotics and self-describing, intelligent components. He develops new concepts for practically-oriented engineering courses based on a broad experience in bachelor and master courses in programming, robotics, and embedded systems. This includes new open-source course materials, including interactive programming sessions, simulation tools, and remote access to laboratory equipment.

Workshop Session: Automating Exercise Assessment using MATLAB Grader
2023-08-02 08:00 - 2023-08-04 17:00 | Berlin, Germany
Dear researcher, GECon 2023 is announcing a new Workshop Session on August 02th-04th related to online grading and teaching. Online teaching demands efficient ways and tools to assess and assists learners’ progress, in this direction, we aim for this Workshop contributes an overview of the topic with illustrative examples. We look forward to seeing you at this hybrid conference!!!

ABSTRACT: One of the biggest challenges in STEM-education is the creation of motivating teaching materials including appropriate coding exercises for the classroom and assignments for homework. Additionally modern STEM-education requires the ability to monitor the progress of the participants in real-time to assess the learning outcomes. The main benefit of real-time observation is the ability to adapt the content accordingly to better address weaknesses of the classroom in an agile manner.
To address the first challenge, the creation of motivating teaching materials, you will learn how to generate digitalized interactive teaching materials as opposed to standard handwritten lecture notes (Word®, PDF, etc.). Such digitalized teaching materials foster engagement with the courseware by enabling classroom-courseware interactivity. In this workshop you will use MATLAB® Live Editor and MATLAB® Online to create and maintain interactive courseware materials. To address the second challenge, the automatic grading of exercises, you will discover how to replace the manual process of providing and correcting exercises through digital means. In this workshop you will apply MATLAB Grader™ to enable automatic grading/automatic feedback and real-time classroom observation.. Moreover, you will also learn how to integrate and use MATLAB Grader assignments into your Learning Management System of preference (Moodle, Canvas, ILIAS, etc.) to complete a seamless learning experience.

Workshop Session: Planning a Student Contest: Fostering Self-guided Learning of Signal Processing in Communications Engineering
​​​​Dear researcher, GECon 2023 is announcing a new Workshop Session on August 02th-04th related to planning and organizing student contests. This workshop will introduce a methodology to plan contests while motivating students to approach real-world problems in signal processing and communications engineering. We look forward to seeing you at this hybrid conference!!!

ABSTRACT: Organizing different engineering tasks as a competition, we aim to enable students to approach real-world problems in signal processing and communications engineering by motivating them to transfer their predominantly mathematical and analytical knowledge acquired from lectures to complex and incomplete scenarios. Classroom teaching suffers from a lack of opportunity for students to engage with the material without guidance, hindering their development of self-reliance and their ability to transfer knowledge to applications. Laboratory courses and other hands-on teaching formats still tend to guide students toward achieving a reference solution, prohibiting students from drawing satisfaction from solving a problem independently.
This workshop introduces the general methodology of the IEEE Student Branch Karlsruhe Signal Intelligence Challenge (ISIC), reviews both experiences and feedback gathered throughout the years of conducting the ISIC, and discusses the applicability of this approach to learning in the context of structured curricula.
The ISIC is a voluntary activity in which students form small interdisciplinary teams to correctly receive, analyze and decode unspecified signals from wireless transmissions they capture themselves. An automated feedback and grading system, which rewards faster teams, motivates advanced teams without disheartening inexperienced teams. The difficulty of the individual challenges ranges from choosing the appropriate tools for a straightforward solution to requiring cross-disciplinary research.

GECon 2024 announces the Workshop Session "Enhancing Learning Outcomes: Interactive Formative Assessment using Autograding via MATLAB Grader"
2024-08-05 08:00 - 2024-08-07 17:00 | München, Technical University of Munich, München, Germany
GECon 2024 announces the Workshop Session “Enhancing Learning Outcomes: Interactive Formative Assessment using Autograding via MATLAB Grader”

This workshop on Formative Assessment demonstrates how teaching can be enhanced and how student learning can be empowered using formative assessment in digitized academic teaching by means of MATLAB Grader cloud-based autograding platform. Formative assessment is a cutting-edge educational strategy that leverages continuous feedback and assessment to enhance the learning process. Unlike summative assessment, that provides an evaluation snapshot at the end of a course, formative assessment allows for ongoing adjustments to teaching and learning methods throughout the course based on continuous feedback and autogenerated statistics. In this workshop, participants will delve into how formative assessment fosters a deeper understanding of course content, boosts student motivation, and supports the development of essential learning competencies such as critical thinking and problem-solving. During the workshop, the participants will explore the role of MATLAB Grader as a pivotal tool in this process, providing immediate performance evaluations and tailored feedback that help educators tailor their instruction to meet the evolving needs of their students. Moreover, the workshop participants will discover how MATLAB Grader integrates seamlessly into your teaching workflow, enabling them to concentrate on crafting assignments that align with learning outcomes while students engage in self-directed work. This powerful platform enables innovative teaching approaches such as the Flipped Classroom format, Project-Based Learning (PBL), via the creation of reusable digital materials/tasks for autograding, allowing students to learn at their own pace. By attending our workshop, educators will learn how to harness the full potential of MATLAB Grader to streamline the formative assessment process. Workshop participants will gain insights into how automated feedback and the generation of insightful statistics can transform their teaching approach, making it easier to identify and address the specific areas where students need support. This workshop will enable educators to revolutionize their academic teaching with MATLAB Grader and formative assessment strategies that align with the modern educational landscape. Conclusively, this workshop is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and tools necessary to create a more engaging, responsive, and effective learning environment for their students.

Rapidly emerging AI technologies are transforming educators’ roles. AI tools already aid in creating engaging materials and facilitating self-study, and the future points towards personalized learning experiences tailored to individual needs. Yet, the recent reshaping of the educational landscape reminds us of the irreplaceable value of human interaction. Skills like communication, collaboration, and hands-on exploration remain central, areas where AI falls short. In this keynote, we delve into the integration of traditional teaching methods with AI, especially generative chatbots, while mindful of ethical considerations. This fusion aims to prepare educators and students for a rapidly evolving educational environment. Such a strategy not only prepares students for a future deeply intertwined with AI but also ensures they are both technically savvy and ethically aware.
