We believe that ourpresented methodology will enhance both the resilience and security of traditional cyber-systemsas well as aerospace cyber-physical systems thus evolving our over-arching cyber-securityapproach.Satellite Defense-in-Depth Design Strategy“Defense-in-depth” is a strategy that existed well before the information age. In the medieval eracastles were constructed that were surrounded by moats and outer walls with watch towersconstructed to provide multiple levels of defense for the inhabitants inside. The principles ofimplementing layered and multiple defenses have also been widely recognized as a best-practicesapproach to keeping IT infrastructure secure from cyber threat 7.

For the reports, the UN Division for Sustainable Development crowdsources briefs from the global science and technology community on sustainable development issues that policy makers the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) should be aware of. The 2016 GSDR will focus on several areas of particular interest to the engineering profession including “The infrastructure – inequality – resilience nexus.” This paper reviews past contributions related to engineering education, and provides an update on the continuing process of developing and providing engineering input into the High Level Political Forum process. 1.

The CUTE labs cover four major areas: the platform exploration labs, the big data labs, the cloud economics labs, and the security and privacy labs. They are designed to use publicly available free cloud resources and open source software with no spe- cial requirement on computing infrastructures, so that they can be easily adopted and adapted at low cost. Currently, we have developed thirteen labs, among which eleven have been deployed during 2009-2015 and six have been evaluated during 2014-2015. The preliminary results show that these

In recent years, the national government has decentralizedpower from large provinces to smaller counties and access to technology and global influenceshas increased4.In 2004, two student members of EWB@MSU made a trip to Khwisero to meet Omyonga andother members of the community as well as to collect information on the sanitation and waterconditions in the district.

After the test-play, we conducted semi-structured interviews of each teacher-group. Questions probed what teachers learned about earthquake engineering, what they did anddid not like, what they would change, and how effective they thought the game was in teachinginterconnectivity of urban infrastructure components. We analyzed interview transcripts withconstant comparison qualitative methodology to capture emergent patterns among teachers’comments. Results indicated needs for more player roles, clarifications in playing cards, and theproduction of an introductory video to highlight the game’s function. We
