technology.Third, enrollments in our programs have increased significantly, especially in the distanceeducation sections, which has stretched laboratory resources to their limits, making it hard tomeet demands for remote labs. With virtual machine technology, it is possible to deploy adiversified virtual network lab at a minimal cost. The virtual machine technology permits rapidchanges, deployments, and adaptation of curriculum and laboratory experiences in step with the Page 13.80.2advances in technology. The purpose of this paper is to present the design and implementation ofa portable virtual network security lab, as part of our ongoing effort to

paper point to the need for fundamental changes in engineeringeducation. The data reveal the importance of understanding human behavior: many of theaspects of engineering practice have evolved to control the incidence of human errors anddifferences in interpretation. Just as students currently gain a rigorous framework of ideas tohelp them think about technical issues and problems, they also need rigorous intellectualtreatment of human behavior. Engineers are human and rely on other people to achieve theirresults: this is fundamental to engineering practice. Relocating the human element to thecentre of engineering practice from its present position at the periphery is an essential pre-requisite to integrate studies of engineering practice in
