addition, the number of malicious applications is increasing continually. All these reasons raise a high challenge to computer science researchers and educators. How to build the next generation of workforce that are equipped with techniques and problem solving capabilities in the mobile pervasive computing and security has drawn attentions to researchers and STEM educators. As a collaborative effort supported by NSF program, this paper presented a laboratory development conducted in computer science program at Alabama A&M University regarding to mobile computing and security issues. In addition, class studies that apply the laboratories to classroom teaching using flip-flop are briefly discussed

(IoT), the development of remote testbeds aregaining momentum with an intention to use them for teaching and for laboratory activities.Remote testbeds allow one to perform experiments on a real hardware over the Internet from aremote location. There are a number of software packages used in the design and developmentof remote testbeds. This paper will describe the use of Python for such a development. Todemonstrate Python’s effectiveness, the paper will describe two case studies. One of them is aremote vacuum cleaner and the other is an embedded processor system with remoteprogramming capability.1. IntroductionIt is vital to provide laboratory activities to maximize learning in STEM disciplines.Traditionally, students perform experiments

well as differential equations (which is a co-requisite.) Since Matlab/Mathcadprograms are available in our computer laboratory, these are used throughout the course. Thetextbook by Kamen & Heck [1] is used for the course and students can access the accompanyingtextbook website. It should be noted that some class examples use both Mathcad and Matlab butthe textbook uses Matlab only. In our program we also have a senior-level elective course onfilters using the software tool called WFilter accompanying the textbook [2]. As engineeringeducators teaching undergraduate, first year graduate courses we are all aware that these toolsshould be used at the right time, right place to help student understanding and learning.

A learning object repository is a digital library developed by a group of educators andresearchers to store both context and/or content while sharing, managing and reusing thisresource. This idea aims at making the knowledge units interchangeable with assessment formsin a standard way so that evaluating learning outcomes and teaching strategies results in greatereducational benefits. WReSTT-CyLE is a cyber-enabled virtual learning environment thatprovides students and educators with information on software testing, supports various types ofteaching materials in the form of learning objects (LOs), and facilitates social and medianetworking and peer study environments. Virtual Learning Environments has become a majorfield of interest in

the team works on different parts of project. Moreover, “real world” projects have no instructors or teaching assistants who are supposed to know the right answers of homework assignments. Students become accustomed, sometimes with encouragement from the teaching staff, to seek help during office hours. However, there is no office hour in the “real world”. ● Faculty members may have “new and crazy” ideas that may be too risky for graduate students who aim to finish their degrees within two (for MS) or five (for PhD) years. The faculty members may want to form a team and perform preliminary studies without committing significant amounts of resources (such as research assistantships

solution is a new cloud service known as HPC-as-a-Service.In this paper, we present an HPCaaS platform called ASETS which uses Software DefinedNetworking (SDN) technologies to smooth the execution of parallel tasks in the cloud. Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1. IntroductionCloud Computing according to NIST1 is a shared pool of configurable resources offeringservices with
