A Practical Approach to Introducing Electrical Undergraduates to Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract
Artificial intelligence techniques are increasingly being applied to a variety of problems in the field of electrical engineering, and consequently universities worldwide are paying more attention to training electrical engineers in applying neural networks (ANNs) in practice. As part of the above training, an introductory practical project on ANNs has been offered as an elective to the undergraduates in the author's department. The project introduces a single layer ANN model consisting of two neurons. The algorithm, the hardware implementation and the test procedure concerning one of the neurons, are described. Then the students apply the same techniques for the other neuron and combine the two circuits to form the final ANN hardware. The agreement of the results conducted by the theoretical models with those obtained by the constructed circuits, allow the students to become familiar with ANN hardware techniques and realise that they present a practical and efficient solution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
