Abstract

The maturation in fabrication technologies of semiconductor integrated circuits results in rapidly shrinking technology node and aggressive scaling of voltage causes an increase in the probability of soft errors in advanced CMOS digital logic circuits. Many attempts to mitigate the soft errors ensue in significant cost penalties in terms of area, power and performance. The proposed method intents a pulsed latch with increased immunity, reliability and reduced power consumption for this purpose, a new transition detector is designed in order to detect single event transition. It shows a remarkable melioration in terms of power, area and performance when compared to conventional transition detector post layout simulation using CMOS 45nm. This detector is further engrafted into the latch to be used as register. The reliability and effectual functioning of proposed pulsed latch is compared with conventional register. The proposed system is designed using MICROWIND 3.1 to get efficacious output.

Abstract

Web technologies laboratory is a course where the students need to practice essential web development features amidst a plenty of distracting features within a time frame of 50 to 60 hours. There are no standard or well defined methodologies to measure the outcomes of the laboratory in terms of creativity. Hence, a sensible mechanism is needed to enhance their creativity and to assess the same. This paper demonstrates a Project Based Learning approach for the course, which is supported by a rubric based assessment system that measures creativity in qualitative and quantitative terms. The study is conducted with 68 Post graduate students of Computer Applications who are not familiar with Project Based Learning and rubrics based assessment as well. The students are divided into Controlled and experimental group, where the Project based learning is implemented with both the groups but the performance of experimental group is evaluated with rubrics.Data collection involves the student feedback, their performance scores and teachers' reviews. The analysis of the system clearly defines a positive impact of Project Based Learning on enhancement of creativity and shows the assessment of creativity with rubrics based assessment.
