We use two different laboratory settings for our cybersecurity concentration courses –virtual and face-to-face.The virtual laboratory is from the NDG NetLAB+(https://www.netdevgroup.com/content/cybersecurity). This platform provides our students withlaboratory experiences on number of cybersecurity and computer science topics in an onlineenvironment. Our students conduct experiments in NISGTC Security+, NISGTC Network Security,NISGTC Forensics, NISGTC Ethical Hacking, CSSIA CompTIA Security+. This laboratory

setting [7]. A kernel tracing tool has beenused in explaining the concepts in the GNU/Linux Operating System. The target is not really anRTOS, however, the method reveals that understanding the internal mechanism is the key tounderstand any operating system [8]. A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

an off-campus Master’s program. Growth over a few years hasoutpaced the acquisition of new faculty, space, and equipment. The conflict of accommodatingmore students within the constraints of the limited resources is making scheduling increasinglymore difficult. This work was inspired by standard scheduling duties such as finding overlappingcourse times, faculty load calculation, keeping track of adjuncts, dealing with schedules toaccommodate students out of sequence, and integration with math and physics courses.Tools were created to perform data manipulation and analysis for standard scheduling tasks.These included calculations often foreign to other non-STEM departments such as differingcredit for teaching laboratories.

Inthis course, a sequence of well-prepared projects was assigned to students to cover various topicsto help student learning for enhancement of research skills (Luo, 2015). Behrouzi and Kuchmaaddressed an inquiry-based learning pedagogy used in a freshman civil and structuralengineering curriculum with an equipment-light laboratory course (Behrouzi and Kuchma, 2016).Active-based learning is a learning protocol, in which teaching strives to involve students in thelearning process more directly than in other methods (Luo, 2015).

reflect on their learnings with the aim of improving theirprogramming skills and the quality of their programs.Introductory programming courses have historically high attrition rates because often studentsare not sufficiently and dynamically engaged with programming tasks. In fact, failure rates of 30to 50% have been reported in literature [1]. Beginners frequently feel frustrated and disenchantedwith the subject since the challenges of learning programming appear to be too overwhelming toovercome. While laboratory components of these courses help students with getting feedbackand encouragement in the face of programming challenges, practice and motivation beyond thelab environment remain uncertain. Therefore, it is necessary to explore

This study first proposes a framework of computational thinking in the contextof engineering (CT-ENG), using qualitative content analysis on industry interviews.The authors then introduce the program of the Robotics Class of Zhejiang Universityin China, providing an integrative approach to teaching computational thinkingeffectively. The Robotics Class engages students in project-based computing-aidedengineering activities throughout the four-year bachelor’s program, and improvestheir computational thinking skills through engineering engagement. The findings inthis study could have some implications for non-CS engineering majors to promotecomputing education and equip students with computational thinking at digital era.Key

Design course is to provide our students with a realisticembedded design experience and to teach them the tools and methodologies that can help thembe successful. Our senior design course is structured as a collection of independent studentprojects. This course is offered every semester. Usually, the students in the ComputerEngineering program take this course during their last semester. Students have the option ofworking individually or in group of twos. Students either can come up with an embedded projectthemselves or work on a project that is given to them by their advisor. Students write a proposalto define problems and identify solution approaches for their project and the hardware andsoftware that is needed for their project. After several
