TEAMWORK COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS AND ABILITIES FORMATION IN TRAINING OF ENGINEERS FOR THE FUTURE
type: item
description: This paper reveals training experience of engineers for the global companies. It is shown that foreign language skills in modern conditions turn into the significant personal and professional characteristic of a specialist. Language training gives grounds to communicative skills formation, including bilingual communication. For modern engineers a foreign language becomes an orientation tool in information space and also a professional problem solving tool in bilingual communication. An integration of language modules into the curriculum is a distinguished feature of the given training system. Thus the principle of gradual problem solving skills broadening becomes a reality. Various interactive training courses and virtual training modules are used during this training. Such approach erases speech barriers, develops ability to communicate in a foreign language and also ability to work in team. Â Index Terms – training experience of engineers, professional characteristic of a specialist, language training, integration of language modules into the curriculum.

ROBUST STUDENT-BASED UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH MODELS
type: item
description: Here is presented the work in progress forresearch in engineering and engineering technology forundergraduate students. Traditional models for encouragingundergraduate participation in research projects are basedprimarily on the undergraduate experiences andrecollections of faculty members. Today, we still rely ontraditional methods and models to encourage undergraduatestudents of the New Millennium to conduct research.Relatively low numbers of undergraduate students currentlyentering Engineering and Technology (E&T) researchprograms, coupled with a lack of college faculty experiencewith undergraduate participation in their research projects,suggests that these students are not getting the message thatthey are perceived as valued researchers. The ultimate goalof this study is to create models for promoting researchopportunities for E&T undergraduate students. Theanticipated outcomes of this study are increasedparticipation of E&T undergraduates in research, achievingmore success in research programs, and eventuallyincreased participation of more prepared students ingraduate studies. Â Index Terms – Undergraduate research in engineering andengineering technology, engineering and engineeringtechnology education, engineering and engineeringtechnology pedagogy, mentoring undergraduate research inengineering and engineering technology.

AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOR OF A FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEM BASED ON EIGENFACES AND K-NEAREST NEIGHBORS TECHNIQUES
type: item
description: Developing a face recognition computational model is a hard task. Extracting facial features from facial images becomes a hard when the images have different dimensions, especially in the steps of extraction and classification. In this paper, we propose an empirical study of optimization on the rate accuracy results from a facial recognition based on Eigenfaces and K-Nearest Neighbors techniques. It was investigated the following topics: images with three different dimensions, number of features (Eigenfaces), k values from K-Nearest Neighbors technique and three distance measures. Addressing the problems of image dimensionality for facial recognition, understanding which parameters are more relevant from the addressed techniques in order to enhance the accuracies rate of facial recognition were the goals of this study. Following this, it was proved from the experiments that images with 12x9 sizes produce the best facial recognition accuracies rate, using the normalized Euclidean distance and a number of Eigenfaces equals to twenty. Â Index Terms - Empirical Study, Recognition System, Eigenfaces and K-Nearest Neighbors Techniques.

type: item
description: The importance of producing biofuels in large scale and the technical aspects required by the market have resulted in biodiesel derived from plant oil kinematic viscosity related researches. Transesterification is the most common and efficientway to reduce viscosity. Considering that it is a one-step process, it has become the simplest and most affordable method when compared to others biodiesel obtaintion processes. Butfurther than the main trasesterification process, thereare other processes that aim to reduce the impurities fromraw materials which are used throughoutthe process.

FERRAMENTA PARA AQUISIÇÃO E ANÃLISE DE SINAIS MIOELÉTRICOS
type: item
description: Â This work presents a tool for acquisition and analysis of myoelectric signals through the surface electromyography (EMGS) for the study of muscle behavior of the human body. The signal from the muscles is captured by surface electrodes arranged in bipolar configuration. It is amplified, filtered, sampled and subjected to digital processing for evaluation of relationship EMG vs Strength and EMG vs Fatigue. This relationship is very important at diagnostic pathologies and development of prostheses. The analysis is performed by comparing EMG signal, muscle contraction time, position and angular velocity joints. To analyze the signals in the time domain the EMG signal is rectified and it sintensity is calculated from the RMS (Root Mean Square) value. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) is used to identify the median frequency of the signals.

ENSINO DE PROJETOS DE SISTEMAS DIGITAIS E SINAIS MISTOS COM O SUPORTE DA FERRAMENTA COMPUTACIONAL MSÂ²PSoC
type: item
description: This paper presents a methodology for teaching mixed-signal design with the support of the computational tool MSÂ²PSoC. The methodology consists in deploy in hardware a mixed-signal that was developed and simulated in software. The software used for system simulation is the Matlab/Simulink and the hardware PSoC for the implementation. The MSÂ²PSoC tool is used to translate the system developed in Matlab/Simulink to the PSoC environment. Through this translation, the Simulink mixed-signal system can be implemented in hardware PSoC. To evaluate the methodology, a line code MLT-3 was developed in the Simulink environment and implemented in hardware PSoC trough the MSÂ²PSoC translation. The results have shown that with the MSÂ²PSoC the student can see the implementation of the system that was simulated in Simulink. The MSÂ²PSoC can also be used for teaching hardware description language Verilog, since this is the language used to perform the translation.

HIERARQUIA DE DADOS PARAPIMS CORPORATIVO
type: item
description: The Corporate management could be facilitated through the process information management systems, PIMS (Plant Information Management System). Once it has centralized characteristics, that PIMS can simplify the relationship between data from multiple information sources, mixing quality process data with the variables from the industrial controls system. This paper presents a specific technique to centralization of partial information that significantly reduces the Data Base needs (90% less than the traditional tags recording methodologies). Information from four industrial plants was safely integrated from the corporate network through text files in which specific software performs the reading and processing of raw information in to a hierarchical structure. This hierarchical structure makes possible the concatenated data use in an agile way and with no need of new training to the system’s users.

ESTUDO DE AUTOMAÇÃO DE GASODUTOS DE PEQUENAS USINAS DE BIOGÃS
type: item
description: The Biogás, also known as swamp gás, is a renewable resource of energy and naturally formed by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter, this process can be optimized by using special chambers that are called biodigestors. There are many processes that can use this and generate electricity, use as substitute for fossil fuel or even sell as carbon credit. But instead they just burn the gas and discard it. It`s low compressibility makes it being transported in gaseous form, unlike LPG, making it harder to occur explosions. This study`s main goal is to create a system of pressure and output control, by changing the rotation of a centrifugal compressor, for small and médium gás pipelines. To reach that goal, and mathematical modeling was elaborated and after that a computer simulation using MATLAB/ SIMULINK. Â Â Index Terms – renewable resource, energy, biodigestors.
