In this paper we address the operational and economical aspects of EOL computer systems at educational institutions. To this end we present an actual case study of a major university in Boston and provide an economical analysis of different options such as disposal, disassembly, recycling, reuse and re-sale of these systems. We recommend a new procedure that will improve the collection and handling processes leading to a structured decision making methodology.

In this study, the development of a low-cost electronic card-based medical device measuring and recording patient data was described via non-invasive methods. Both the descriptive statistical analysis and the regression model was performed from the pulse and galvanic skin response (GSR) from the volunteer' data. It is important to measure and record different data simultaneously with multiple sensors from the patient during the treatment, medical operation and care periods of the patients. The data measured from the designed device was evaluated for the patient's position, GSR, the respiration rate, the blood oxygen content, and the heart rate. The designed measurement and recording device were implemented with an embedded system-based microcontroller card. The designed device might provide for monitoring and recording data with led display, serial port, microSD card or internet of things.

Nowadays, DC engines have been widely used in daily life. Thanks to its popularity, students are expected to apply their theoretical control algorithms in a DC engine control as an application. Although these necessities and requirements, there is no presented experimental setup for both industrial and educational purposes. In this study, an experimental setup is developed in order to control two distinct DC engines via an embedded microcontroller board and engine driver circuits for testing intelligent system based control algorithms in PC. PID control algorithm is tested via the implemented setup.

In this study, a platform to develop remote control appliactions via bluetooth communication by using general purpose microcontroller boards and Adroid-based devices was designed. This system was designed to integrate easily into all kind of devices that was developed by students or manufacturers in especially biomedical area. In addition, it has an Android application. It is possible to transmit control statements wirelessly from a microcontroller board or an Android-based device to another microcontroller board via bluetooth. On the client-side board, there are PWM-driven led illumination control, servo motor control and four on-off relay controls. The implemented system is designed to use easily for educational purposes. Time saving from sofware design applications is aimed in this study.

Sivil havacılık sektörü özellikle II. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler ve yapılan yatırımlar sayesinde büyük bir gelişim ve dönüşüm süreci içerisine girmiştir. Küreselleşmeye bağlı olarak gelişen pazar payı ve artan rekabet koşulları nedeniyle geçmişe göre daha ekonomik, daha hızlı, güvenli, tercih edilen bir ulaşım seçeneği haline gelmiştir. Uçuş; insan, çevre, teknoloji ve meteoroloji alt sistemlerini bünyesinde barındıran, dinamik ve üç boyutlu bir ortamda ulusal/uluslararası standartlar, kurallar ve mevzuatlar doğrultusunda uçuş emniyeti öncelikli olacak şekilde yürütülen bir faaliyettir. Pilot ise uçuş faaliyetlerinin temel aktörüdür. Bir pilot uçuşun zamanında, planlandığı şekilde ve emniyetle gerçekleştirilmesi, güvenlik-maliyet-zaman üçgeninde optimizasyonun sağlanması, kokpitteki iş yükünün verimli bir şekilde yönetilmesi, insan faktöründen kaynaklanan kazaların önlenmesi ve istenmeyen operasyonel durumların oluşmaması için bilgiyi, zamanı, riskleri ve süreçleri en iyi şekilde yönetmek zorundadır. Çalışmanın amacı, sivil havacılık sektöründe yolcu taşımacılığı yapan pilotların uçuş operasyonları esnasında uçuş emniyeti, zaman baskısı, müşteri memnuniyeti gibi stres faktörlerine rağmen ihtiyaç duydukları doğru bilgiye süratle erişiminin ve karar alma sürecinin önemini ortaya koymaktır.
