Abstract

Planning and design of road infrastructure are based on determination of traffic flow parameters and their distribution in the observed area in terms of space and time. For the purpose of selecting the optimal solution of the planned period, it is necessary to conduct research of relevant traffic flow parameters in characteristic conditions of the observed road network. Taif city is located in the western zone of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where it is the eastern port of the Holly Capital, Makkah. In addition, it is a major touristic destination for citizens throughout the year. Despite this importance, Taif city needs to develop traffic flow, especially in downtown because of high traffic congestion, traffic accidents, location of city and the increasing population annually. This paper shows the solution of traffic systems and improving of the area surrounding of Shubra museum in Taif City. The engineering calculations such the peak hour factor, peak hour volume and engineering designs of the roads, pedestrians and design of the parking to achieve the KSA vision 2030 taking into consideration national and global codes within the realistic constrains and reduce the cost as much as possible. The alternatives proposed were studied within the current road networks surrounding the Shubra Museum in downtown Taif to obtain the optimized alternative, in order to find a sustainable future traffic flow. The proposed alternatives based upon international and national standards for highways design, AASHTO, Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Specifications of Saudi Ministry of Transportation. Results revealed that the proposed alternatives achieved better performance in terms of traffic regulation in downtown Taif city. Also, the wide area obtained around the museum showed a better performance in terms of organizing the pedestrian movement and the comfort of the visitors as well as the museum achieving its goals very efficiently in the future. Moreover, construction of tunnel reduces the traffic congestions in the future and increases the area on the front of museum by 60 %. Although the high cost of constructing a concrete tunnel in the front area of the museum which needs extensive geotechnical and structural studies, the positive environmental impacts give this alternative more advantages as a viable and sustainable alternative.

Abstract

Several fields today are mainly dependent on cooperation among the different parties, and the education system one of these fields. Many agreements between local laboratories and local and international companies must be agreed. These agreements will be an initial stage in building corporation among the industrial community. However, these agreements should not remain on paper, and such partnership agreements should promote economic growth, social justice, protection of the environment and universal responsibilities during solving logistic and industry issues. Where in a country like Iraq which suffering from lack of job opportunities and the weakness of laboratories that lead to delay the education process. However, the partnership could include practical and scientific studies and then applying the research results in solving the real industry issues. This paper will discuss the effect of industrial partnership with the importance of engineering education and expectations for the accomplishment of new strategies and scenarios in the developing countries.

Abstract

Those students who major in computer science and/or engineering are required to design program codes in a variety of programming languages. However, many students submit their source codes they get from the Internet or friends with no or few modifications. Detecting the code plagiarisms done by students is very time-consuming and leads to the problems of unfair learning performance evaluation. This paper proposes a novel method to detect the source code plagiarisms by using a high-level fuzzy Petri net (HLFPN) based on abstract syntax tree (AST). First, the AST of each source code is generated after the lexical and syntactic analyses have been done. Second, token sequence is generated based on the AST. Using the AST can effectively detect the code plagiarism by changing the identifier or program statement order. Finally, the generated token sequences are compared with one another using an HLFPN to determine the code plagiarism. Furthermore, the experimental results have indicated that we can make better determination to detect the code plagiarism.

Abstract

This field study aimed to examine satisfaction and expectation of managers of energy service companies and related official entities of fresh engineers’ basic knowledge and skills in fields of energy management and renewable energy technologies. The existing gaps between what is demanded in the market and engineering graduates’ skills are explored through measuring relevant required skills from managers’ point of view as well as their general satisfaction about performance and basic knowledge in related engineering fields. To achieve these goals a structured questionnaire was distributed to specialized private companies working in the installation of renewable energy systems and energy services. It was also forwarded to concerned governmental agencies and active NGOs promoting energy efficiency and environmental protection, followed by face-to-face interviews with selected experienced and specialized engineers to cross check and make sure that weaknesses and gaps in knowledge and skills required to enter the market are addressed. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the level of satisfaction and readiness of fresh engineers to join energy companies and areas that graduates need to be improved. Results suggested that managers are not fully happy and satisfied with levels of basic engineering understanding and technical skills among newly graduated engineers from universities in Jordan. Equally important is that managers do not feel that graduates are ready to enter the market and start practical life. Main gaps identified by managers are lack of understanding of relevant engineering sciences, relatively poor technical communication skills and nearly absence of financial and managerial basics. Thus, all parties involved in engineering education, in the country, should make necessary reform in the study plans and curricula to meet the market demands.

Abstract

Experimental focuses learning on developing the skills of student in the process of knowledge, discover and develop their own fact, concept, and values required. The way to make it is by doing  modification to the practical guidance module had been given. Nowadays, practical guidance tend to emphasize on the explanation, so its use both practical and follow the path that has been presented. The practical guidance module should be modified based on constructivism. The module is an experimental guidance to environmental laboratory subject. The test material consists of water and wastewater sample with parameter of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solid (TDS), and nitrate. The results showed progress in the cognitive aspects such students' ability to predict the concentration of COD sample. The greater COD concentration of wastewater make the color of mixture is blue-green. The student could communicate the calibration curves correctly. Hypothesis skills presented at TDS testing. The greater of the sediment, the greater the concentration of its. The same thing happened on COD testing, COD levels can be estimated earlier. The skills show an increasing such as the skill to ask questions, experiment planning skills, skills in using tools/materials, accuracy in data retrieval, seriousness and cooperation in conducting the experiment.

Abstract

Currently, the school children usually spend a lot of time on the games in their recreational activities and some of them are even addicted to the games. Compared with other extracurricular activities, the e-Learning system reflects the fact that school children are very interested in the games. As a result, educators have lately craved to develop effective teaching activities that allow the school children to learn some subjects and to play the games simultaneously.  Therefore, this study is based on an e-Learning system which combines the serious game by Unity3D Game Engine with augmented reality (AR). Students are able to acquire their knowledge and to foster logical skills via this game-based e-Learning system.  According to its efficacy and utilities, this study has assessed and compared the game-based e-Learning system with the traditional learning and other e-Learning systems. The experimental results have indicated that the proposed game-based e-Learning system can outperform other existing systems.

Abstract

In recent years, the importance of integrated land use and transportation has received a lot of attention. Lack of knowledge on how land use and transportation affect each other during planning for urban development could have adverse effect on urban cities. Graduate students in Transportation Engineering are potential traffic, safety and urban transportation city planners. These graduate students therefore, need to have fundamental knowledge on how land use and transportation adversely affect the economy, environment, and social lives of people in a city. To achieve this, a three-month training programme on integrated land use and transportation was organized for 50 Transportation Engineering graduate students studying in various fields of Transportation Engineering in Wuhan University of Technology. To foster team work among the students, they were asked to form groups-these groups were formed as male only, female only and male-female. The student groups were assessed on three tasks (project undertaken, lab work and classroom presentations) after they have been taken through various land use and transportation modeling courses. The key finding of this study is that for all the three main assessment results, male-female groups achieved the highest average score and as well as the highest accuracy in their final project (travel demand model) task as compared to the other two gender groups. It is concluded that in order to promote innovation and creativity through diverse perspective, group work involving gender mix should be encouraged among students. The entire training programme has also successfully achieved its objective.

Abstract

This article deals with a hybrid method combining the method of moments (MOM) with the general theory of diffraction (GTD). This hybrid approach is used to analyze antennas located near perfectly Bodies of arbitrary curved shape. Some examples, e.g. an antenna mounted near a perfect conductor cylinder with two plates, demonstrates that the hybrid approach is the most suitable technique for modeling large-scale objects and arbitrary shapes. This approach allows us to resolve the problem, that the other methods can’t solve it alone. Generally, random radiation locates on or near an arbitrary form, can be solved using this technique hence the strong advantages of our method.

Abstract

This research study is focused on effects of Practical Instructional Guide (PIG) and Teaching Naked Technique (TNT) on students’ achievement, interest and retention in electronics engineering technology in Polytechnics in Rivers State. Two research questions and hypotheses each were formulated to guide the study which was answered using means and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design where the researcher randomly assigned intact classes to groups. The population for the study is 232 Electronics Engineering Technology students in the Polytechnics comprising ND II students of 2019/2020 academic session from two State owned Polytechnics in Rivers State namely: Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola in Obi-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State with 122 students and Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori in Bori Local Government Area with 110 students. There was no sampling because the population can be managed by the researcher. The instruments for data collection were TNT and PIG lesson plans, Achievement Test (PIG & TNT) of 20 objective test questions, developed practical assessment guide of 35 items and an interest inventory of 20 questions. These instruments were content and face validated by three experts from the Department of Industrial Technical Education (Electronic Technology option), University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The reliability of the instrument was tested using cronbach alpha which has an overall value of 0.79, an mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions and ANOVA was used to test the formulated hypothesis by applying IBM SPSS version 20. The results of this research support the propositions of instructional theories in the application of two practical instructional techniques with the selection of an appropriate delivery medium of instruction promotes learning. Hence, it was suggested that polytechnic lecturers should be encouraged to employ Practical Instructional Guide (PIG) and Teaching Naked Technique (TNT) Instructional techniques in delivering their lessons, since it enhances academic achievement, interest and retention of students.
