encourage students to pursue the field of cybersecurity. Virtual laboratories allowemulating real life cyber threats and rapid generation of multiple scenarios and infrastructures.The purpose of RunLabs project was to create a lab infrastructure to allow instructors to generatevirtualized environments rapidly. Instructors can create virtual lab for students easily, with asimple configuration file. The methods used for RunLabs creation consist of a javascript objectnotation (JSON) configuration file that creates virtual machines with specified networkconfiguration. In addition, it creates virtual network computing (VNC) service for each virtualmachine with a random password, which allows students to be able to access the virtualmachines and work on

A case study is presentedfor an online laboratory environment used in a fundamental network security course that coversthe competencies of the CompTIA Security+ certification. The online lab environment consistsof virtual machines connected in an isolated virtual network managed by VMware vCloudDirector. This online laboratory environment is used for both online and face-to-face

willreport the above conceptual framework in more details against its literature background.2. The Multiple-Lab-Driven Pedagogy with TCK IntegratedThere have been plenty of studies performed on lab-based curriculum. For instance, Abbas andLeseman [5] developed a laboratory-based curriculum on the theory, fabrication, andcharacterization of microelectromechanical systems, in which course assessment data is input bystudents from three semesters, based on which the effectiveness of the laboratory project isevaluated. Alexander and Smelser [6] proposed a distance laboratory teaching method thatcombined multi-media computer experiments, portable hands-on exercises, and place-boundlaboratory experiments. Zhang et al. [7] utilized graphical development

Many engineering and computing programs offer an introductory course on electriccircuits analysis. Typically this is a three (3) credit hours lecture course, in some schoolsaccompanied by a 1 credit laboratory section. In our school the first circuit course is offeredwithout a laboratory

Computational modeling and interdisciplinary projects for engineering technology students The advances in nanotechnology, tissue engineering, and robotics has precipitated the need forengineering technology students who can understand and contribute to simulation and development ofcomputer models for complex command, communications, biological and control systems.The engineering faculty at our university is developing multidisciplinary projects/classes, which includehands-on application-oriented laboratory exercises, which can actively engage students. These laboratoryprojects will also be helpful to students who will take capstone senior project coursework.This paper will discuss the new, interesting multidisciplinary projects

is used to compare the TCP and UDP for both one-hop andtwo-hop connections. Since TCP requires retransmission for packet loss, we use the number ofretransmission to compare two network configurations. Since unreliable transport layer protocolUDP does not require retransmission, packet loss is used instead for the comparison.For the performance measurement collection, we use open-source software tool iperf3,developed by ESnet and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Since we use 7 differentreceiving signal strength, we determine the signal strength between the client and the accesspoint by using the Linux command iwconfig for each test as close as possible. We utilizedseveral features in iperf3 using various arguments in command lines

Half of the participants were sophomores, andthe other half primarily juniors and one senior.The program covered the expenses of the participating students including travel expense,meal allowance, housing, and stipend. REU students lived in university-affiliated housing,and the work was done in the various research laboratories associated with the project. Theprimary activity of the program was for each of the students to complete a research projectunder the supervision of a faculty. Each student was paired with a faculty mentor and workedon research projects ranging from software design, security and privacy, hardware fabricationto the study of the social implications
