Industry Day                                       

Workshop #1 - Thu 27/02 (9:00 to 11:00)
The WOAS project - A possible CPS Integration Platform (PDF)

In 2011, the new R&D project "Architecture and Interface of a Web-oriented Automa-tion System (WOAS)" was launched in the Competence Center Automation Duesseldorf (CCAD). The WOAS architecture allows the principles and methods from the standardized world of Internet technologies to be transferred into the world of industrial automation in a systematic and structured manner. A WOAS consists of a WOAS core as well as a configurable number of Web-oriented automation services stored in a cloud that implement the required automation functions. The workshop gives an overview about the project, presents the most important technical details of a WOAS system and describes the application of the results for the integration of CPS components with associated services (CPS - Cyber Physical System). The workshop contains following topics:
> Overview of the WOAS project
> Concept and Implementation
> Examples: Virtual Devices & Services
> Practical work in the Demo platform
In the practical hands-on part of the workshop the participants can test and look into the implementation of some WOAS examples for operation of a real assembly station in the Duesseldorf Telelaboratory. Moreover they can also work in the demo version of the WOAS integration platform and create a simple user-specific Remote Lab Experiment.

Workshop #2 - Thu 27/02 (9:00 to 11:00)
A Aplicacao de Simuladores Educacionais 3D em Cursos de Automacao Industrial a Distancia (Delivered in Portuguese) (PDF)

Os Simuladores Educacionais 3D podem ser utilizados no ensino da Engenharia de Automacao Industrial, de Cursos Tecnicos de Formacao Profissional a Distancia, pois simulam o contexto real de trabalho que o aluno encontrara na industria. No Brasil, o Nucleo de Educacao a Distancia/Gerencia de Desenvolvimento Educacional - Servico Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial (SENAI)/Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, desenvolve essa tecnologia educacional. O objetivo deste Workshop Tecnico e apresentar os Simuladores Educacionais 3D, construidos a partir da aprendizagem baseada em jogos educacionais, que desafiam o aluno a resolver situacoes de aprendizagem elaboradas por meio da Metodologia SENAI de Educacao Profissional.

Workshop #3 - Thu 27/02 (9:00 to 11:00)
PSoC 4 (PDF)

WHY:
" Learn all about the latest Cypress PSoC 4 technology. PSoC is a family of mixed signal (analog, digital, and embedded MCU), programmable devices. PSoC is truly the world's first Programmable System-On-Chip (more info @ www.cypress.com ) " Leave with the knowledge of PSoC Architecture and PSoC Creator Software and learn how you can get a free Development Kit.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Faculty and Students involved in senior project, digital, analog, and embedded classes and design; as well as topics as diverse as robotics, mechatronics, industrial controls, automotive, and aeronautics.

Presenter:
Patrick Kane is the director of the Cypress University Alliance Program (CUA) at Cypress Semiconductor Corporation and an affiliate professor in electrical and computer engineering at the University of New Hampshire, Durham. The Cypress University Alliance Program is dedicated to partnering with academia to ensure that professors and students have access to the latest Cypress PSoCTM technology for use in education and research. Patrick joined the Cypress in July 2006. Before joining Cypress, Patrick spent 13 ½ years at Xilinx in a variety of technical and marketing roles including Applications Engineering, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Technical Training, and managing the Xilinx University Program (XUP). Prior to Xilinx, Patrick spent a number of years at both Advanced Micro Devices and Lattice Semiconductor Inc. He holds BSEE and MBA degrees and has authored numerous articles and conference papers. Patrick is currently pursuing the doctorate in educational technology.

Workshop #4 - Thu 27/02 (9:00 to 11:00)
Teaching Engineering Design with Student-Owned Lab Equipment

The objective of this workshop is to demonstrate ways in which student-owned lab approach can be used to teach principles of analog and digital circuits through hands-on design projects and eventually challenge, engage, and excite students with engineering design problems. Students own their personal lab workbench to solve open ended problems with unlimited access. In this workshop, Mr. Sergio Pavesi will demonstrate how students can learn about circuits and through hands-on, project-based, open-ended exercises. Sergio will also address the concepts to students where they can see the principles used in the experimental design and analysis - or better yet, involving students in the experiment itself where they must apply the concepts to achieve the design goal - stimulates a deeper understanding of the material. Through these demonstrations, participants will leave with instructional materials that will enable them to easily incorporate these activities into their own courses.

Presenter:
Sergio Pavesi now works as a senior training engineer in the Mirifica, a Digilent training partner in Italy. He focuses on providing engineering educational solutions for schools and universities in Europe. His areas include digital design, embedded systems, analog circuit designs and so on.
