based on the existingtrainers. The discussion includes design steps, and material and component selection andspecification. A series of lab activities will be proposed which will be used in teaching the labsection of the two undergraduate courses in Mechanical Engineering Technology andMechatronics Engineering Technology. The ultimate goal of this project, which will be asecondary study, is to seek students input on the use of these trainers in teaching the labactivities.About the coursesThe Department of Engineering Technology offers three undergraduate degrees includingElectrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET), Mechanical Engineering Technology(MET), and Mechatronics Engineering Technology (MCET). The authors teach in MET andMCET

againstcyber treats is education. According to Frost and Sullivan [7], a global shortage of 1.8 millioncybersecurity professionals is projected by 2022. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected 37%of information security job growth from 2012 to 2022 and announced that more than 200,000cybersecurity jobs in U.S. are not filled every year.Education in cybersecurity draws more attention from K-12 to adult. Recently, U.S. Congresshas urged to develop high-quality educators to cybersecurity education [8]. Many researchersstudied teaching methodologies to maximize the student learning. One of the key components inengineering and science education is a laboratory-based course, which includes a practical hand-on exercise. Many academic institutes developed

-on experience that include operations of those complex systems. However, theinsurmountable costs and lengthy regulating processes render the aforementioned type of projectsunfeasible.In this paper, we discuss the potential to engineering education of re-purposing of a $40M IntegratedSystem Test (IST) facility with a 1.7 MWt capacity, which was originally developed for the m-PowerSMR design by BWXT Technologies, Inc. (a.k.a. BWXT), and it is currently located at LibertyUniversity's Center for Engineering Research and Education, in Forest, Virginia. The aforementionedthermal-hydraulic loop could be used for complementing teaching on areas such as: controls, thermal-hydraulics, modularity in energy systems, cyber-physical systems, and many
