skills are essential for career development. However, in typicaluniversity settings, undergraduate students take different courses and work on different projects indifferent teams each semester. As a result, students lack opportunities to work on multi-yearprojects and develop the skills essential for long-term planning. To remedy this situation, ourdepartment has created elective courses that allow students from all years (first-year students tograduate students) to work on research projects under the supervision of faculty members and thementorship of senior graduate students. These projects provide the opportunities for students tolearn many skills essential in workplace, such as (1) understanding how projects are designed andmanaged; (2

This practice is often used toevaluate the effectiveness of a course as well as to identify any need for coursemodifications and improvements. When assessment is in the form of a test, then theadministration, collection and the final aggregate report generation becomes a timesconsuming task that often introduces delays in planning. In this paper we present a web-based software tool that is primarily designed and developed for automating the courseassessment process. It automates the test creation, grading and the final reportgeneration that can help save time, reduce errors and produce variety of reportsummaries for better decision making.1

The 2-day workshopaimed at presenting hands-on experience on designing effective instruction. The first part of theworkshop emphasized the 5-stage/task backwards design (modified framework from Wiggins &McTighe, Understanding by Design,1999) used to guide the content modules for the courses thatwill use the CBI modules [6] . The model is shown in Figure 1. We were asked to keep in mindthe following general objectives to emulate as we went through the 5-tasks planning stage:  Promote conducting fundamental research on learning and instruction  research issues and opportunities related to designing learning environments that

more complex AI, such as neural networks, can be trained.After completing that activity, the students were introduced to the final project: building an AIfor an autonomous Mars rover. The concept was first shown to them as a game, where theywere challenged to get the highest score possible. This required planning ahead to find the bestpath and learning how the rover operates. These activities drew on many areas of CT, includingmodeling and simulation, abstraction, and data representation. On the fourth day, the rover was re-introduced as a game, but this time the rover couldonly see the squares immediately adjacent to it. This required students to “sense” theirsurroundings and act based on limited information, just as the rover would

Datacollection covers a two year period from January 2014 through December 2015.In addition, we address the implications of the sudden uptick in IPv6 adoption, as it continues ona path of accelerated expansion. The long awaited transition from IPv4 to IPv6 has implicationsfor all organizations who will soon be making the change; many of which may not be preparedfor how to systematically approach such an undertaking. Factors such as project planning, IPv6saturation, infrastructure assessment, policy redesign, and network continuity are discussed askey areas that will need to be addressed as organizations begin to adopt IPv6.Key words: IPv6

Similarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs. • Open source and extensible hardware - The plans of the Arduino boards are published under a Creative Commons Attribution Share – Alike license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own

This isa powerful tool that enables the instructor to create unique assignments, and facilitates for quickand efficient grading of complex configurations.3. ConclusionsInstead of having to choose using either PT or GNS3 for network development, it might be aneven better idea to use them both together. As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other. PT can be used to createa networking plan that incorporates the internal and external functions of a network. PT couldfurther facilitate ease of assessment and automated grading.

Thestudents must then generate a plan of action that has to be followed to meet the client’srequirements. The problem-solving process obliges the team to go through numerous iterations,and test and review solutions in order to come up with a model that will address the client needs[10] . Similarly, teamwork is essential in MEAs due to the time available to come up with a viablesolution to the problem. Additionally, by requiring multiple point-of-views and perspectives,students can arrive to better solutions in less time [10].A Cybersecurity Themed Model-Eliciting ActivityThis paper presents an MEA called Migration to HTTPS
