excitement in learning.The three aspects of Mobile Computing are mobile communication, mobile hardware and mobilesoftware. The first aspect addresses communication issues in ad-hoc and infrastructure networksas well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. Thesecond aspect focuses on the hardware, i.e. mobile devices or device components. The thirdaspect deals with the characteristics and requirements of mobile applications10.Widespread use of mobile devices makes an opportunity for the computer science andengineering programs to integrate the use of mobile devices into their curriculum in order toenhance and promote new ways of teaching and learning. Since young people are very excitedabout these devices

exceptions, Facebook friend requests, andoffers for free items, but lack the proper knowledge and comprehension to evaluate the benefitsand consequences of taking specific action on these items.As educators and computer security practitioners, we feel that the task of providing universitystudents with the opportunity to become knowledgeable about the malicious side of the Internetfalls squarely upon our shoulders. It has long been recognized that there exists an urgent need toimprove security education1. Although this is clearly true in computing technology curriculums,the direct benefits of security-focused courses at the undergraduate level are not presentlyaccessible to non-computing majors. Realistically, computer security involves much more

worldwide has an estimated annual cost of $6.2 trillion dollars2. TheDepartment of Information, Sciences and Technology (IST) at The Pennsylvania StateUniversity recognized the importance of project management and problem based learning as anecessary component required to support the needs of the business community. Employers andHuman Resource recruiters have communicated to us that their organizations are interested inemploying IST graduates that have studied project management and systems integration anddesign. A course in project management was developed and first offered in the Fall semester2003 at the Penn State Hazleton Campus. Students in the integration option of IST have beenrequired to take the IT project management course and software

Shortcomings of Internet Accessible Remote LaboratoryWhat are the issuesAs mentioned in the introduction section, researchers are pursuing this problem in an abruptmanner and are not yet coming up with a sustainable solution that can popularize the use ofremote laboratories. The major issues are: a) Integration of a number of disciplines into remote experimentation design; b) Modularity in designs; c) Readily available commercial products; d) Integration of learning management system; e) Maintenance and training; f) Administrative awareness and support; and g) Industry applications.a) Integration of a number of disciplines into
