The scoring system was designed to be used in a Competitive Labs-as-a-Service(CLaaS) learning system. The scoring system provides light-weight, secure, and automatedscoring of specific data points as deemed necessary by predefined learning objectives.1. IntroductionIn a 2017 Survey done by the Capgemini Digital Transformation Institute, 55% of the 501employers surveyed said that Cybersecurity is number one in a widening digital talent gap [11].To compound this talent gap, an annual global survey on the state of Information Technology(IT) by ESG indicated the situation may
by Wicklein, the primary reasons are “inadequateunderstanding by school administrators and counselors concerning technology education,inadequate understanding by the general populace concerning technology education, and lackof consensus of curriculum content for technology education”1. These concerns were ranked #2, # 3, and # 4 in a research finding among technology educators2. Likewise, in a recent surveyamong prospective employers, 30% of 250 respondents did not have any awareness about theengineering technology program and one-third of those who claimed to have awareness aboutthe program could not distinguish the difference between the work performed by the engineersto the work performed by the engineering technologist accurately3.

In addition, this paper defined theprimary characteristics of the emerging distributed ledgers or blockchain technology, to ensurewe effectively harness this technology to secure our data. Moreover, we explored using ablockchain database for our data.1. IntroductionNew buzz words are constantly surfacing in the ever evolving field of computer science, so it iscritical to distinguish the difference between temporary fads and new evolutionary technology.Blockchain is one of the newest and most developmental technologies currently drawing interest.It first attracted attention after the tremendous success of Bitcoin’s
from educational gaming pioneers like MEC, Davidson and the learning company and overthe years there has been a tremendous increase in the user experience [1]. Eames defined this method oflearning as the incorporation of games which could imply video games in instructions. There are severalexamples of game based learning but one of the significant ones called the Oregon Trail is one of thefirst and best with applicable educational standards and subject specific content giving the player acaptivating game experience. Other examples of starter games include: Banished, Bridge Constructor,Gone Home, Kerbal Space Program and Myst. Games often have a fantasy element that engages players.Not only does the integration of learning with gaming make

Perhaps there is someblame to be placed on the university and industry, a problem not being adequately addressed byboth. This paper explores a number of possible causes behind the problem, and suggests changesthat could help move toward a long-term correction.IntroductionA number of years ago, I wrote an article for the Professional Communications Societynewsletter. The title of the article was “...but Johnny can’t write!” (1). The article looked at aproblem experienced by undergraduate engineers entering their new careers in industry.

University of New Hampshire wasestablished in 1973 as a centralized research facility within the Office of the Senior Vice-Provostfor Research. The UIC, located at the main campus of the University in Durham, NewHampshire, houses much of the shared, high end scientific, analytical instrumentation for theuniversity. The main campus is approximately 1 hour from the Manchester campus where theET Program resides.The mission of the University Instrumentation Center (UIC) is to support the research, teaching,and engagement missions of UNH by providing access to the best analytical instruments,scientists, and engineers. In support of the university’s engagement mission and as a broaderimpact requirement for many federal grant programs, the UIC partners

curriculum will be the basis to understand the system level approachof specifying, breakdown, hardware/software development, and integration of an embeddedsystems course. In such a course students typically explore microprocessor architecture,instruction sets, interfacing, and real-time programming techniques in assembly language.Laboratory exercises usually consist of system level development in serial and parallel datatransfer, data acquisition, and analog input and output signal processing. The most commonchips used in microprocessor courses are the Motorola HC11/12 or the Intel 8051.

These types of real-world project aspects are totallydifferent from the standard course where the student shows up, takes notes, completes homeworkand exams generally on his/her own and then moves on.

Session ETD 465ConceptsIn addition to the items explained above, some overall concepts are helpful to orient instructorsnew to ethics.Do No Harm. As the prime directive of ethics, all professionals should refrain from actions thatresult in harm of any type: physical, psychological, financial, legal. Initially associated withmedicine and erroneously ascribed to the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere came intowidespread usage in the early 20th century18 and has served as a guide for professional practicein any area related to the public good. Engineering codes capture this concept in FundamentalCanon #1, and public safety is at the forefront of a designer’s mind, especially those workingwith structures and consumer products.It is important to note

global marketdespite rising labor costs. “From 2018 to 2020, global robot installations are estimated to increase by at least 15% on average per year (CAGR): 15% in the Americas and in Asia/Australia, and 11% in Europe. Total global sales will reach about 520,900 units in 2020. Between 2017 and 2020, it is estimated that more than 1.7 million new industrial robots will be installed in factories around the world. Due to the dynamic development of robot installations since 2010, the robot density in the United States increased significantly from 114 installed robots per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry in 2009 to 189 robots in 2016.” (1)This data refers to robotic applications, but the
