make its first appearance? It has probably been around since the first softwareengineer wrote a program using buffers.The first noted problems with buffer overflow occurred around 1973 [5], but only withinsoftware engineering circles. A famous article appeared in IEEE regarding the Therac-25incidents mentioned above, but when the events occurred in the late 1980’s not much attentionwas focused on buffer overflow. The buffer overflow problem became known world-wide in1988 with the Morris Internet Worm. It has continued to be a problem since, as evident by theCERT Coordination Center’s November 11, 2003 buffer overflow advisory regarding Window’sWorkstation Service. Below are some infamous buffer overflow problems in the history ofsoftware

It should clearly communicate the course goals, list the subject matter to be covered in an orderly fashion with time allotted for each heading, list the textbook(s) and supplementary reference material, spell out the applicable grading policy, and address other course matters such as: lab work, recitation, field trips, and research papers.

only forindustrial practice or graduate school, but also trains students to readily recognize and apply theirengineering background to solve problems, both locally and internationally.Beginning in the early 1990’s, a series of reports emerged detailing serious deficiencies inengineering education and calling for major reforms. In short, these reports proclaimed thatengineering education programs must teach not only the fundamentals of engineering theory,experimentation, and practice, but: Page 9.24.1 Proceedings of the 2004American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright

Yet this scenariois one of the tools used by many youth organizations to recruit, retain, and teach middle to highschool students. The youth organizations that use these tactics successfully include the BoyScouts, Girl Scouts, Venturing, Learning for Life, Campfire Boys/Girls, the YMCA, and theYWCA. The World Organization of the Scout Movement (including all forms of Scouting forboys and girls) is the single most successful youth organization in the world (based onenrollment of nearly 29,000,000 members), and it is commonly known within the Boy Scouts ofAmerica community (which includes male

Many of the“classical methods” which were the only tools available, or at least practical, before computers(BC?) for obtaining detailed analysis and component/member design are no longer routinelyused in practice for these purposes. However, before we declare these classical methods to beobsolete and relegate them the past, let us proceed to examine what all are their uses in bothengineering education and the practice of engineering.Civil engineering practice is no more than two centuries removed from a period when theavailable analysis tools were very limited – moment distribution was not defined by ProfessorHardy Cross1 until in the early 1930’s, soon after the completion of

Industry’s performanceis measured by the sigma level of their business performance. Traditionally industry operates onthree sigma (3б) which translates into 670,000 defects per million opportunities. Six Sigma (6б)means 3.45 defects per million opportunities, which is near error free business performance.Six Sigma has become one of the most powerful emerging management tool used by the Fortune1000 companies today.
