Information, communication, and modeling technologies in prosthetic leg and robotics research at Cleveland State University

This paper analyzes the role of information and communication technology (ICT) and computer modelling in the education of engineering students. Special attention is paid to research-based education and the implementation of new modelling methods and advanced software in student research, including course work, diploma projects, and theses for all student categories, including Doctoral, Master's, and Bachelor's. The paper concentrates on the correlation between student research and government priorities and research funding. Successful cases of such correlations with specific description of computer modeling methods for the implementation of prosthesis and robotics research projects are presented based on experiences in the Embedded Control Systems Research Laboratory in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department in the Washkewicz College of Engineering, Cleveland State University, USA.
