A case study was conducted to explore the mixed media creative artwork, a picture book hand-drawn by an 8-year old child. First, the documentary analysis of materials related to children's picture books was conducted to understand the features of materials and the essence of stories. After rounds of discussion teaching, the parents guided the author to create a story, characters, items, and sets, and to arrange colors. This process took 6 months. 14 hand-drawn works were completed. Then those drawings were scanned with Photoshop and the layout was arranged with Adobe Illustrator. Finally, discussions of the problems encountered during the process of creation were conducted and suggestions were proposed.

Full textAbstract:
A two-handed direct manipulation VE (virtual environment) interface has been developed as an intuitive manipulation metaphor for graphical objects. A new input device called ChordGloves introduces a simple technique for rapid and repeatable gesture recognition; the Chordgloves emulate a pair of 3-D mice and a keyboard. A drafting table is isomorphically mapped into the VE and provides hand support for 2-D interface techniques, as well as a reference frame for calibrating the mapping between real and virtual worlds. A cursor gravity function is used to grab vertices, edges, or faces and establish precisely aligned differential constraints between objects called anchors. The capability of subjects to translate, rotate, scale, align, and glue objects is tested with a puzzle building task. An approximation of the puzzle task is done in Adobe Illustrator to provide a performance reference. Results and informal user observations as well as topics for future work are presented.

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser la contribution du secteur informel dans l’insertion professionnelle des jeunes dans la Sous-préfecture de Toumodi avec ses effets induits au plan économique et social en 2022. La méthodologie s’appuie sur les recherches documentaires et une enquête de terrain de quatre mois entre les mois de Janvier et Avril 2022. La recherche est à la fois qualitative et quantitative afin de rendre compte au mieux du poids du secteur informel dans l’activité économique des jeunes et des effets induits de cette contribution. Elle a pris en compte 421 jeunes, 62 activités informelles et 08 personnes ressources dans la Sous-Préfecture. Les données recueillies ont été traitées manuellement et à l’ordinateur grâce au logiciel SPSS for Windows 17.0, Excel, Adobe Illustrator CS.11 et Arcview GIS 3.3 ; ce qui a permis de présenter les résultats sous forme de tableaux et graphiques. Il ressort de cette enquête, que le secteur informel qui regroupe le commerce, l’artisanat et le transport est le principal secteur d’activité des jeunes avec 70% des emplois. Le revenu moyen annuel des jeunes actifs dans ce secteur est 76 000 FCFA. Ces revenus servent à payer le loyer et à se nourrir. C’est pourquoi une réorganisation des activités du secteur informel et une formation des jeunes exerçant dans ce secteur s’imposent.

Full textAbstract:
This research article intends to provide a unique method for transforming artwork into woven textile designs and then manipulating them as needed utilising two software programmes, DB Weave and Adobe Photoshop. The study also emphasises the need of using free software programmes like DB Weave to create textile patterns that are similar to those produced by more expensive commercial software programmes for broad usage in the educational sector. When these two software programmes are used together to generate woven textile patterns, it is simple to construct and modify the weaves to meet the demands. It also helps to develop a weave library that may serve as a repository for future design needs. This work aims to standardise the procedure for generating textile designs.

This chapter is written as one method to supply the necessary support systems for educational and training design. As such, the authors propose their global development software (GDS) methodology emerges as a revolutionary discipline. It is based on the externalization of software development between geographically distant places in order to reduce development costs. Traditional educational and training process in software engineering must be advocated to consider (or enhance) this new trend, with its respective challenges and necessary skills (multicultural interaction, effective communication, distributed software project management), into curriculums. GDS therefore demands the presence of supporting systems to provide permanent user interaction and enhanced communication tasks. The presence of such interactions is a key aspect to promote the performance and knowledge acquisition processes among globally distributed software development teams. The main goal of such interactions into platforms that support distributed contexts is to reduce the impact generated by the tyranny of distance. This work exposes some human-computer interaction (HCI) principles applied by the authors’ research team in order to structure a supporting user interface environment that reflects the distributed computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) practice in software engineering. The chapter describes several services that are provided for managing the interaction between participants, such as synchronous interactions through Microsoft © LiveMeeting and Adobe © Connect, and asynchronous interactions such as Moodle forums. In this way, the authors implement effective HCI into educational professional practice scenarios for a distributed CSCL within the specialized domain of software engineering.

This chapter examines the use of Open Source Software (OSS) technologies that can be used to improve the learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Explored are the various methods that can be utilized to improve the percentage of STEM majors in the American educational system with resources such as: Open Source as Alternative (OSALT), virtualization, cloud computing, Linux distributions, open source programming, and open source hardware platforms. Increasing the amount of students that pursue STEM majors is important because the projected job growth in the STEM field compared to non-STEM jobs is 33%. OSALT provides cost-effective alternatives to commercial products such as Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Photoshop. Second, creating Virtual Machines (VMs) is another avenue to teach complex concepts in computer science, engineering, and Information Technology (IT). Third, cloud computing is an inexpensive way for clients to access information from multiple locations and devices. Fourth, universities can use the Operating System (OS) Linux and its various distributions as replacements for commercial operating systems like Windows in order to reduce IT costs. Lastly, open source programming languages like Python and their associated Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) provide comprehensive facilities for software engineers for application development or testing.

Mobile applications developed for educational topics are a playful contri-bution to the teaching-learning process. This research presents a mobile application generated from participatory design and user experience. This study presents the concept construction phase, the theoretical foundation of the proposal focused on human-computer interaction, in addition to the methodological process that allowed obtaining a final product framed in a research project that was articulated to a bonding project with the commu-nity. 189 children from public and private educational schools in the cities of Quito and Ambato, in Ecuador, aged between 6 to 8 years, participated. The research defined the scope of the application, its structure, require-ments, usability and navigability. For the development of the prototype, Unity was used, for the generation of the videogame and its functionalities. On the other hand, Cinema 4D was used for 3D modeling, together with Vuforia SDK for augmented reality. In addition, Adobe Audition was ap-plied for the generation of the audiobook complemented by Adobe Pho-toshop and Adobe Illustrator in the graphic theme. The application was created for Android and IOS mobile platforms.For the design of augmented reality triggers, illustrations with colored frames were used, making possible to clearly recognize on which pages the mobile device should be used. The project is in the final evaluation phase, and it is expected to conclude testing the participating educational schools, in which the Tobii Eye Tracker 4C device, an eye tracking tool, will be used, which will allow information to be re-collected about the impact and integration that this application generates on users, on the topic addressed, on the design and composition of the product and on the results obtained with the use of this human-computer interaction model.

Full textAbstract:
The work is focused on the prepress and possibilities of its automation. The article provides a brief overview of main prepress operations together with software products available for their automation. The information on problematic areas of prepress processing and current use of software tools and prepress automation in the Czech Republic was gathered via the survey with almost a hundred participating companies. The questions about the type of company, the number of its employees and the number of orders received per day were also included so that the results could be better evaluated. As expected, most of the problems in prepress are connected to the printing data received from customers. The reported frequency of different issues and the time needed for the corrections are presented. The results also show that while almost half of the participating companies use a workflow system, which is the main means of automation, often it is not used to the full extent. Further, different possibilities of automated processing were demonstrated for three common issues selected on the basis of the survey results. The tasks included correction of files with default printer marks and a missing bleed, which belong to the most frequent problems, and adding the missing data for processing steps; this issue does not occur so often, but the participating companies reported they spend more time with its solution. The example PDF files were created in Adobe Illustrator and then processed in Adobe Acrobat, Callas pdfToolbox Desktop, Xerox FreeFlow Core, Enfocus PitStop Pro, and Esko Automation Engine. It was verified that when the given software includes the appropriate editing functions and the automated processing is employed, all the tasks can be accomplished very quickly – in the case of the example printing data, it was in less than a minute, usually in a few seconds. Based on the findings, the applicability and benefits of the alternatives considered are outlined. The comparison of functionality of the software tested and a number of their implementations in the participating companies suggests the important role of local resellers and support.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual lab activities utilizing simulation software are gaining in popularity and importance. Simulation software can be purchased in sufficient quantities to allow every student in a class to perform lab activities rather than doing physical labs with limited equipment and a team approach, providing uncertainty as to who is really doing the work. Another advantage would be using the software across several locations throughout a region and pairing it with software like Adobe Connect or two-way video in some distance education format. Students in multiple locations can connect via computer and can perform lab activities in synchronous or asynchronous sessions. Actual physical lab activities could be included in the course on a limited basis to accommodate students from several locations. This work will investigate simulation software available for use with fluid power and discuss strategies for incorporating into appropriate classes.

In ASME 2005 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference. ASMEDC, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2005-84945.
Full textAbstract:
An introductory Materials Engineering course can be challenging for students since in that course it is often the first time where students must integrate their knowledge of mathematics, chemistry and physics to solve a wide variety of complex and, at times, abstract problems. Finding new methods to teach the course content in order to more actively engage students is equally challenging for instructors. Two years ago, students at Western Washington University began to study part of the course content in materials engineering within the less abstract framework of acoustic/materials signatures of stringed musical instruments (particularly, violin “engineering”). Students can be actively engaged in this subject by posing a rather simple question. Why does a violin or guitar sound the way it does? Trying to answer that very question with materials science (and geometry) in class is a new way instructors may use in their course to more actively engage their students in materials science. This paper describes the use of violin “engineering” to create innovative lecture demonstrations and presentations illustrating acoustic and materials signatures as course supplements for any basic materials engineering course. These demonstrations require only the use of a laptop computer, the academic version of the Adobe Audition® software package (or equivalent), an inexpensive condenser type microphone, an inexpensive student stringed instrument (violin or guitar), and aluminum and wood vibrating plates. The paper gives the exact specifications for the various components needed to create these new lecture and/or lab demonstrations. The approach is innovative in that it takes a fundamental (and expensive) methodology normally used in the acoustic research of violins and other stringed instruments and translates it into a format that is not only affordable, but has also shown promise in our materials course to be a practical tool to actively engage students in materials science. Initial assessment data shows that the students are indeed more engaged in the course and there is measurable improvement in classical test question scores. Also, many students in the class have chosen to complete their research papers required for the class in these subjects; others have volunteered to work on undergraduate research projects investigating the materials signature of stringed instruments and new materials for such instruments. Geometry to create flat vibrating plates, including the top plate of a violin, is also given in the paper (the “violin.dxf” or “violin.igs” file is available upon request). A lengthy reference section is included so that additional demonstrations can be created by other instructors to satisfy their local materials engineering course needs.

Full textAbstract:
Although in the last few years, the use of the non-invasive medical techniques for diagnosis and treatment has experienced a huge development, mainly due to advancement in technology, for research and education these methods are still elaborate, expensive and not readily accessible. The purpose of our study was to compare the accuracy of an unconventional, non-invasive and relatively inexpensive Microscribe (3D digitizer) with a standard widely used and expensive CT-Scan and/or MRI for 3D reconstruction of a human skull, which will be used for biomechanics studies. Two models of the human skull were developed (reconstructed), one using the 3D coordinates generated by the Microscribe 3D digitizing unit and another one using the CT-Scans (2D cross-sections) obtained from a GE scanner. Using the hand-held digitizer, the Microscribe, X, Y and Z coordinates of a human skull were generated to create the first computer model. The 3D coordinates were brought as splines in to 3D Studio Max, a 3D modeling software, and U-lofted to form a solid NURBS model. The Microscribe captures the physical properties of a three-dimensional object and translates them into a 3D model. This kind of device is used to collect data directly from the surface of the study object. The stylus tip is moved over the contour of the object following its surface until the entire surface is digitized. Usually, points are drawn on the object’s surface in order to facilitate the digitizing process. 3D Studio Max takes this “raw” data and produces complex 3D models using various modeling techniques. For making the first skull model a technique called DRAW SPLINES was used. This method allows the user to begin a new spline or to do multiple splines by adding splines to those already created. I used this command to digitize my model because it is easy to use, quick and it gives the most accurate result. The final model was obtained in three steps: half of the skull was digitized and the first object was obtained, the MicroscribeSpline object (Fig. 1). The splines were transformed in NURBS curves and the second object was called NURBS Curves object. Finally, in the third phase, the NURBS curves were transformed in NURBS surfaces using the NURBS surface command, U-LOFT, and the final model, NURBS surface object, was obtained (Fig. 2). The entire skull was obtained from 2 identical halves of the same skull. The model was created using symmetry method because of the model’s organic complexity. The solid model was then exported to FEA software for analysis. (Fig. 3) The second skull model was created using the 2-D cross-sections obtained from the GE Helical Hi Speed - FX/i scanner (Fig. 4). The same skull used in the first part of the study, for modeling the first virtual model, was scanned following both sagittal and frontal planes. The interslice distance was set as being 3 mm. 48 CT slices for every analyzed plane were obtained. The CT cross-sections were captured as DICOM files using the E-film software and exported as TIFF images. The TIFF images were brought into OPTIMAS (image analysis software), which extracted the X, Y coordinates of each cross section using the POINT MORPHOMETRY option. A visual basic program was developed to convert the extracted coordinates to closed curves under Unigraphics SolidEdge software. To obtain the final model, the external boundaries of each cross section were lofted using LOFT PROTRUSION command. To find the best result, a second approach was developed in parallel using Adobe STREAMLINE and image processing software, which extracts the boundaries of each cross section and exports them as DXF files, compatible with the Solid Edge program. Both models were then subjected to stress analysis using Finite Element Analysis software. The analysis results obtained from the two scanning techniques will be discussed and presented, including the pros and cons of using the more accurate and expensive CT-scans versus the inexpensive hand-held scanner and their effects on finite element models. For this study, different image processing software such as OSIRIS, SCION IMAGE, EFILM, 3D DOCTOR, OPTIMAS and STREAMLINE were investigated in order to find the best interface to capture, reconstruct and model body data. The features, availability, cost and user-friendliness of these software tools will also be presented.
