In this paper, we present anautomatic security patch removal tool that can fine tune various Windows VM systems to preciselevels of vulnerabilities, and easily employed by students and educators alike. This tool cancreate virtual machines that simulate different security states in the Windows operating systemtimeline and gives a more realistic view of the ever-changing state of cybersecurity to thestudents pursuing an education in the field.1. IntroductionIn the current Internet-connected world, most companies, government agencies, and ordinarypeople heavily rely on the cyber world for information and data management, processing, andexchange.

Prior to thecreation of PSS, the course was taught using a traditional lecture-based approach, similar to theway the vast majority of technical engineering courses are taught [2][3]. The instructor whocreated PSS was motivated to do so because he realized that the students were not cognitivelyengaging with learning the course concepts and skills. PSS was intentionally structured to createa much more interactive experience than is typically experienced in traditional engineeringcourses. Student teams of two were formed (aka dyads) for the entire semester. These teamswere challenged each class period to collectively solve complex analytical engineering problemstogether [2]. Students

According to recent state report cardsregarding school performance, only 37% of fourth grade students in eastern NC school districtsachieved proficiency in science. Given unsatisfactory student outcomes, it becomes important toexamine teacher preparation to communicate these topics effectively to students.Teachers often receive low evaluation scores on complex teaching skills such as discourse. Manyteachers point to a lack of preparation to engage students in discourse in their teacher education[1]. Given the need to allow each teacher candidate to practice discourse development, time andresource constraints can limit the number of

Studies have shown that a strong predictorof students enrolling in engineering college majors and pursuing an engineering career is studentinterest in engineering at the K-12 level [2, 3]. In addition, it has been shown that a critical timewhere student interest, identity, and career choices begin to solidify is during middle schoolyears [4, 5] and hence should be the population on which studies should focus.

Introducing the emphasis areas within BME is conducted by using the Introduction toBiomedical Engineering by Enderle and Bronzino [1] as a guide. The text divides emphasis areas ofBME (Biomechanics, Biomaterials, Bioelectricity) into chapters and takes students through theseareas and supplies examples.

Suchcourses normally involve expenses for students in terms of textbooks, equipment, and software.The expenses for course textbooks and materials can be quite high. These include prices rangingto over $300 for individual textbooks in engineering [1], [2], to $700 per semester [3], toupwards of $1200 a year on average for civil engineering programs [4]. These costs also increaseat an exorbitant rate, with textbook costs estimated to have been increasing 1500%, or nearlythree times the overall rate

Literature ReviewNursing and engineering education are both disciplines in which students practice the work oftheir professions during their undergraduate curriculums [1]. Nursing students tend to beimmersed in clinical experiences early in their curriculum, and these experiences also tend to beconsistent, structured, and supervised by faculty [1]. In engineering education, application is alsonecessary and highly valued, with students applying their knowledge through class-basedprojects and/or internship or co-op positions, although these positions are relatively unstructuredand do not involve direct faculty supervision [1]. Finally, in engineering education, the requiredsenior design (capstone) project involves real-world problems with relatively

Seal force is the integrity of the sealing quality of the rubber stoppers that cap thepharmaceutical drug vials. The usual process of testing it is by performing a compressive test. The entire prototypingwas accomplished in various phases.
