“…6 Big-data enables colleges to adopt a more intelligent way to stimulate and produce new wisdom. [7][8][9] In big-data, communication between deaf and deaf schools is very convenient. Nevertheless, from another perspective, the arrival of the era of big-data has also caused many schools in China to question their own educational management model.…”

Nowadays, China has got into the era of big-data. In the background of big-data information era, the management of college students in China has undergone certain changes, and the trend of student management informationization is obvious. Universities are momentous places for cultivating talents. The student management work of universities directly affects the quality of talent training and affects the stability of colleges and universities (CAU). The internal structure and external environment faced by higher education are undergoing unprecedented profound changes, bringing many new situations, new problems and new challenges to the supervision of university students. Therefore, college education managers need to show solicitude for the impact of big-data technology on college education management (CEM) and propose corresponding countermeasures to raise the productivity of college education administration. This paper concentrates on the characteristics of big-data. On the basis of investigating the present situation and matters of the development of big-data education administration in CAU in China, this paper explores the countermeasures to raise the innovation of big-data education management (BDEM) in universities in China.

“…Previous studies have shown that the instructors have tried different strategies (Ball et al, 2020) to enhance the research experience of undergraduate students by designing suitable research assignments as a course project. Moreover, a survey of old literature reveals that the undergraduate research activities undertaken are through summer internship projects (Houser & Lemmons, 2018), course project/term projects (Amekudzi et al, 2010;Ford & Newmark, 2011;Ponce et al, 2021), or some kind of special research program organized involving undergraduate students. For example, the study reported by (Morley et al, 1998) is an evaluation of junior-level undergraduate students mentored by a graduate student during an eight-week program summer internship program.…”

Engineering institutions offer technical education by designing curriculum based on expected graduate attributes. The ability of undergraduate students (UG) to analyze complex engineering problems is one of the attributes and it is addressed by enabling students to work on certain projects or problems. The research experience during undergraduate studies can enhance the overall educational experience of students. But implementing research activities for undergraduate students can be challenging. To engage UG students, researchers have tried different strategies to enhance the research experience of students. This paper presents a case study in which, third-year students of Electrical Engineering were engaged to analyze the results of the combined economic emission dispatch problem (CEED) reported in past literature. As a part of in-semesterexamination (ISE) for the course Power System Operation and Control, the students were given different research papers published in reputed international journals and associated with the CEED problem. The students were asked to identify the main equations, collect supporting data from literature and develop a computer program in MATLAB to analyze results in the research article under study. Each student presented findings on the assigned paper, the computer program developed, with explanations and conclusions. The research findings of all students were appropriately consolidated to prepare the manuscript as a review article for submission to a suitable international journal. The proposed methodology can be easily implemented in other courses by properly defining thescope of research work expected from students. The research experience of students (experimental group) was measured by conducting a test and the results were compared with other students (control group). The results show that students under experiment performed better than other students. Keywords— Analysis; CEED; in-semester-examination; MATLAB; undergraduate research.

Smart Grids and Their Role in Transforming Human Activities—A Systematic Literature Review

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this work, a systematic review of the literature has been carried out to analyse the design of intelligent networks in environments inhabited by people and the applications of sensors to improve quality of life and aid human activities. This study aims to answer three research questions. The first question is whether the design of smart grids is made with people in mind. The second question focuses on whether intelligent networks are being taken account of in the research on human activity recognition, the Internet of Things, and the recognition of activities of daily living. The third question looks at whether there are synergies and multidisciplinary teams studying state-of-the-art technologies applied to environments inhabited by elderly or disabled people. Installations with sensors deployed for the improvement of the quality of human life will also help to improve the quality of the intelligent network, thus integrating the Human–Technology binomial. This study concludes with an analysis of the results of the sources examined, putting forward a protocol of seven proposals to guide future work.
