TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of a formal survey of fifteen aerospace and defense companies concerning the perceived importance of 172 attributes related to the eleven ABET Program Outcomes and Assessment categories.
Abstract: In an era of unprecedented technological advancement, engineering practice continues to evolve but engineering education has not changed appreciably since the 1950s. This schism has prompted industry, government, and other key constituents to question the relevancy and efficacy of current programs. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 2000, which will be fully implemented in 2001, emphasizes outcomes over process, and provides an opportunity for stakeholders to help universities define educational goals and objectives and design a curriculum to meet the desired outcomes.1 While the need for curriculum reform has been acknowledged, the “industry position” was amorphous and anecdotal and therefore difficult to address. Qualitative methodologies such as formal surveys and structured interviews can be used to capture and quantify industry expectations of the needed attributes (i.e., knowledge, skills, and experience) for entry level engineering employees. Such instruments can provide key data useful in determining objectives and designing curricula to attain those objectives. This paper presents results of a formal survey of fifteen aerospace and defense companies concerning the perceived importance of 172 attributes related to the eleven ABET Program Outcomes and Assessment categories. The survey, resulting database, and preliminary analyses are available in hard copy and electronic form. This is the first formal survey and database resulting from efforts of the Industry-University-Government Roundtable for Enhancing Engineering Education (IUGREEE) to initiate a continuing, evolving process to provide curriculum designers with important information from industry.
TL;DR: The entire three-volume set of the Information Security Management Handbook is now available on CD-ROM, providing an extra volume's worth of information that you will find nowhere else.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
The entire three-volume set of the Information Security Management Handbook is now available on CD-ROM. Containing the complete contents of four books, you get a resource that is lightweight and portable, linked and searchable by keyword, organized under the CBK domains, and with exportable text or hard copy available at the click of a mouse. In addition, it provides an extra volume's worth of information that you will find nowhere else.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to extract additional data useful for the management of copies of a document for an image forming apparatus is embedded in a hard copy of the document.
Abstract: An additional data useful for the management of copies of a document for an image forming apparatus is embedded in a hard copy of the document. The additional data is embedded in an inherent image of a document as discrete dots arranged in a prescribed format. Preferably, the size of each of said discrete dots is not so large as to be recognized easily with naked eyes. The additional data can be embedded in unit of blocks. Further, the density of the discrete dots is different from the density adjacent to the discrete dots. The image data for embedding an additional data can be obtained by reading a document, or by receiving data sent from a computer or read from a floppy disk. An additional data embedded in a hard copy can be extracted from the image data on the hard copy. Further, the production of a copy according to the image data can be controlled according to the extracted additional data. For example, if the additional data means that the source of the hard copy is a secret document, the copying is allowed only for a legitimate user. An additional data is generated for each copy according to the extracted additional data for embedding it in a hard copy to identify each copy. The additional data generated for each copy are compiled and they are used to manage copies of various sources systematically and illegal copies can be traced easily. If the additional data received from a printer is not consistent with the additional data already stored, the printing may be prohibited. A transmitter for transmitting an additional data may be provided in a document such as a book.
TL;DR: In this article, the user can identify, on a display, portions of the hard copy documents containing information used in application programs or for storage, and the selected stored document information is then placed into the transmission format required by a particular application program in accordance with transmission format instructions.
Abstract: An information processing methodology gives rise to an application program interface which includes an automated digitizing unit, such as a scanner, which inputs information from a diversity of hard copy documents and stores information from the hard copy documents into a memory as stored document information. Portions of the stored document information are selected in accordance with content instructions which designate portions of the stored document information required by a particular application program. The selected stored document information is then placed into the transmission format required by a particular application program in accordance with transmission format instructions. After the information has been transmission formatted, the information is transmitted to the application program. In one operational mode, the interface interactively prompts the user to identify, on a display, portions of the hard copy documents containing information used in application programs or for storage.
TL;DR: A hard copy print has a print side and a back side and the print side has information thereon which identifies the electronic location at which a digital record of the image can be accessed electronically as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A hard copy print, method and system for producing the hard copy print. The hard copy print has a print side and a back side. The print side has information thereon which identifies the electronic location at which a digital record of the image can be accessed electronically. This information is preferably written in a machine readable form so as to allow automatic accessing of the digitally stored images. The system includes a digital storage device for storing of a digital record file of the image on the hard copy print.
