B. Instructional Development - List innovations in courses, curricula, and programs

(experiment offered Sping 2009) ECE 591, Mathematics of Computer Vision. This course will become a prerequiste for the 700-level computer vision course. It will include relevant mathematical concepts to prepare the student for work in the general area of Computer Vision. Because of student demand, the course was offered as a guided seminar in spring 2009, rather than a regular course.

Spring 2006, 2007, 2008 NCSU BME 495E. Instrument Design in the Clinical Environment. A course for future biomedical engineers in which the students are trained in emergency medicine and receive certification as EMT-Basics. In the process they identify the need for a new instrument and design that instrument.

Fall, 2000, NCSU ECE 763 Machine Vision offered over the internet using the Web Lecture System. Offering was joint with National Technological University.

WFU CSC 361 CPU design

NCSU ECE 446 VLSI Design

NCSU ECE 559 Statistical Pattern Recognition (A new version of this course is being offered over the MCNC video network. It is offered simultaneously at BGSM, WFU, NCSU, and UNC-C and UNC-CH.)

NCSU ECE 443 Digital Design Projects (in the form used from 1977-1983)

NCSU ECE 444 Robotics

NCSU ECE 659 Computer Vision (Offered via video at NCSU, UNC-CH, and WFU)

NCSU ECE 642 Neural Networks

NCSU ECE 314 Electronics
