This study draws on the perspectives of educators in university electrical engineering departments and in technical colleges, on the teaching of the radio frequency (RF) domain. The study investigates how these educators would like the technical content of a state of the art RF laboratory to be designed. As far as the authors know, no publication exists in the literature that investigates the requirements and needs of remote laboratories in that particular field. The outcomes of this work are expected to guide remote laboratory platform developers towards the most effective design of their platforms. The analysis of the results showed that educators would like the technical content of the laboratory to cover basic communication techniques, microwave circuits and devices, antennas and propagation, RF technology, and radio system design aspects of modern telecommunication systems. They would therefore like the laboratory instrumentation to be designed to that end. The educators also reported the need for advanced experimental setups which require expensive RF measurement devices. The discrepancy between university and technical college views was also considered in this paper.Article An Indoor Navigation Aid Designed for Visually Impaired People(2008 34th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics, 2008) Öktem, Ruşen; Aydın, Elif; Çağıltay, NergizThis work introduces the hardware architecture and general principles of a portable indoor navigation system for guiding visually impaired people. It operates through wireless communication between a compact hardware interface unit carried by the user, a central processing unit and an active RFID unit. The RFID unit collects signals as regard to the position of the user, the central system processes those signals to estimate the position of the user and proposes a route and direction for the user to follow, whereas hardware interface unit provides interaction. The orienteering of the user is obtained by a tactile compass.Article A Mobile Application Flow Representation for Mutual Understanding of It and Healthcare Professionals(2013) Erturan, Yusuf Nasuh; Bilgen, Semih; Tokdemir, Gül; Çağıltay, Nergiz; Yıldız, Ekrem; Özcebe, EsraEver since mobile applications were developed and became popular, they have started to take part in almost every field of our lives. Healthcare is one of the most popular fields that mobile applications have become a part of. However, development of mobile healthcare applications requires an inter disciplinary work on which people from different domains should communi cate. To do so efficiently, mobile application instructions should be provided as clearly as possible so that mutual understanding can be achieved. This study, aims to provide a methodology to provide the common grounds for healthcare and IT specialists so that to improve the satisfaction level of all the stakeholders of the system from the provided IT services and the end-user interfaces. In other words, by providing a better communication medium for the stakeholders dur ing the design phase, we believe that software development process will be improved, so do their satisfaction from the developed system.Article Implementation of Topic Study Activities in Engineering Education(2015) Topallı, Damla; Çağıltay, NergizRecent studies have shown that, there is a need to propose new approaches and educational methods in order to address current problems of engineering education programs. This study summarized the implementation of a real life term project and Topic Study concepts in an engineering education course. The curriculum of this course is organized to provide skills on making presentation, research and applying knowledge to solve real-life problems, preparing reports and making discussions on a specific topic. This study describes as a case study how these problems are addressed in an engineering education course namely Data Warehousing and Data Mining. It is aimed to improve students’ motivation and interest to the course as well as to improve their active participation in the course. By this approach it is aimed to help them to construct their own knowledge. This paper also presents the structure of the course and evaluation of grades with the results of a survey on students’ opinion about the real-life term project and Topic Study approaches in this course.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 24Software Piracy Among It Professionals in Organizations(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2006) Mishra, Alok; Akman, Ibrahim; Yazici, AliThis paper reviews and discusses software piracy issues from a global perspective. It also reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of demographic factors on software piracy among IT professionals in Turkey. Although the impact of these factors on software piracy has long been attracting the interest of academics, no quantitative research has ever been realized in this field in the country. Elsewhere also, most of the software piracy-related studies are limited to students and academics and very few have reported findings related to IT professionals in different organizations. The survey was conducted among IT professionals from government and private sector organizations. Based on this survey, the results indicated that gender, age and experience have significant impact on software piracy. The implications of these findings are discussed and compared with other related studies. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
