espanolLa iniciativa CDIO —esto es, concebir, disenar, implementar y operar sistemas y productos del mundo real— es un marco para la educacion en ingenieria que considera 12 estandares como referencia para el diseno y evaluacion del curriculo. Respecto del diseno curricular, una buena implementacion de los estandares CDIO puede considerarse un problema complejo multidimensional. Con el objetivo de proponer estrategias para implementar la iniciativa CDIO en el curriculo de Ingenieria Electronica de la Universidad del Quindio, se uso el analisis morfologico general (GMA). Asi, algunas dimensiones relevantes del curriculo y sus valores se contrastaron en una evaluacion de consistencia cruzada (CCA) dentro de la cual se establecieron 8 dimensiones, para un total de 34.560 combinaciones en el espacio de problema. Con lo anterior, el numero de combinaciones coherentes se redujo de forma significativa. Finalmente, esas combinaciones se analizaron para proponer las estrategias como insu-mo para la implementacion del curriculo CDIO en Ingenieria Electronica. EnglishThe context of conceiving, designing, implementing, and operating real-world systems and products, namely the CDIO initiative, is a framework for engineering education. It considers 12 standards, which are the reference for curriculum design and assessment. A good implementation of the CDIO standards can be considered as a multi-dimensional complex problem. In order to propose strategies for implementing the CDIO initiative in the Electronic Engineering curriculum at Universidad del Quindio, the General Morphological Analysis (GMA) was used. Some relevant dimensions of the curriculum and their values were contrasted in a cross-consistency assessment (CCA), where 8 dimensions were established, and a total of 34,560 combinations were obtained in the problem space. Through the CCA, the number of coherent combinations was significantly reduced. Finally, these combinations were analyzed to propose the corresponding strategies that are the input for the implementation of the CDIO curriculum in the Electronic Engineering program. portuguesA iniciativa CDIO — isto e, conceber, desenhar, implementar e operar sistemas e produtos do mundo real — e um marco para a educacao em Engenharia que considera 12 padroes como referencia para o desenho e a avaliacao do curriculo.

This paper presents design and implementation of a 100-MHz Analog-to-Information Converter (AIC) based on Random Demodulator (RD); for this purpose, we used off-the-shelf components to implement the analog front-end and a SoC-FPGA chip to implement the digital hardware/software subsystem. Analog front-end is composed of one mixer and one low-pass filter, which were implemented by using a Gilbert Cell and a passive RC circuit, respectively. Hardware/software sub-system was implemented on the Field Programmable Array (FPGA) and Hard Processor System (HPS) sides of the SoC-FPGA chip, where FPGA side was used to implement the hardware that manages RD and HPS side was used to implement spectrum recovery algorithms. Finally, verification results showed that designed AIC can recover sparse signals of 100 MHz bandwidth, where a sub-Nyquist rate of 4 MHz is used along with two Compressive Sensing (CS) recovery algorithms.

Memristors are devices that promise a great impact on the electronic industry at the level of implementation, comparable to that caused by the invention of the transistor and the integrated circuit, both based on semiconductors. These devices may contribute to the improvement of the performance in both analog and digital circuits, especially in those demanding high consumption of resources due to signal processing. Although implementation approaches based on materials such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), led by HP Labs, are available for these devices, a wide commercial adoption of this technology has not arrived yet. A large set of contributions in the last ten (10) years, including patents and academic papers, are oriented to implementation models based on simulation and emulation at different fields of the electronics industry. Among these contributions, the simulation of biological systems has been extensively studied. This paper presents an overview of the impact of the memristor on the main application scenarios in the electronics industry, from the device implementation approaches to the architectural schemes of hardware systems for specific applications based on the models and features of these devices.
