His teaching responsibilities include electronics, PIC microcontrollers and control technologies, CNC manufacturing and instructional design and technology. His research interests are in electronics, microcontrollers, robotics, and distance learning. Lacides Agustin Osorio, Norfolk Ship Support Activity I immigrated to the United States from Colombia, South America in 1970, and grew up in New York City. I Graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 1983, enlisted in the United States Navy, and in 1984 reported to basic training in San Diego, California. I had plans of completing my four-year enlistment and separating from the navy, but things did not work out that way, and I retired from the United States Navy in 2009 after more than twenty-five years of active service, and achieving the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer. Throughout my naval career I continued taking college courses with hopes of, one day, graduating with a bachelor's degree. On my last tour of active duty, I was assigned to Mid Atlantic Regional Center, which was a shore duty for me, and I was able to complete my educational requirements for my bachelor's degree at Old Dominion University, and in August 2009 I was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. While completing my studies at Old Dominion I was fortunate to have Dr. Hsiung as my professor in one of my classes, and he got me involved in microcontroller applications. I am currently employed at Norfolk Ship Support Activity as an Electrical Engineering Technician, in some way, still serving the United States Navy, and occasionally get involved with certain projects at ODU under Dr. Hsiung's direction. Mathew Henderson, Tidewater Community College Mr. Henderson served in the United States Navy for eight years as an Electronics Technician and graduated Summa Cum Laude from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technologies. He currently serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering Technologies at Tidewater Community College and works as a Manufacturing Engineer at Measurement Specialties, Inc. Mr. Henderson is actively involved in projects utilizing the IEEE 802.15.4 Low-Rate Wireless protocol. He is an active member of the IEEE Communications Society and the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society.
It is generally believed that it is too challenging to deliver technical laboratory courses using distance learning technologies. The focus of this research was to develop strategies that may be used to address these challenges. A research team composed of faculty from several universities and community colleges explored what might be needed to make these types of technical laboratory course instruction possible using distance learning technologies. The team explored delivering a microcontroller embedded systems design course through audiovisual distance learning technologies. The team's research and development activities are discussed. These include focuses on the technical training equipment that had to be designed to support the course's microcontroller technologies curriculum and laboratory modules, instructional support videos, and the design of an electronic server system to support this instruction. Also discussed will be the findings from the faculty of other colleges and universities who received professional development training from the research team on teaching microcontroller technology courses using distance learning technologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
