computing instruction challenges are addressed in this paper, namely:1. Several parallel, competing computer instructional programs exist at a given institution ofhigher education, e.g. Computer Science (CS), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE),Information Systems (IS), and Information Technology (IT).2. Each computer instruction program, frequently, is constrained by a total number of coreinstruction credit-hours permitted by its college or university. Page 11.791.23. Computer technology, both hardware and software, continues to grow at seeminglyunmanageable rates.Faculties are challenged to keep pace with this growth.4. Programs, usually, are

Since many institutions havestandardized on Windows Computer Laboratories, implementing Linux based learningexperiences may initially seem problematic. However, with a Live Linux CD, you canquickly and easily run Linux, and related open source tools, in an existing WindowsComputer Lab.In this paper, we will explain how Linux Live CDs

science world.As in some other institutions, non-CS majors have found our CS1 course to be useful. We findthat now the majority of students in the course are non-CS majors who are not required to takethe course. STEM students (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) are naturallydrawn to the course, but we have found students from all majors in our CS1 course. As theimpact of computing has grown across all fields there has been an increasing need for students inall majors to develop some programming skills. In particular, a computing course that, after onesemester, develops students into effective programmers is needed. We found that C++ did notadequately satisfy that need within one semester, and we were not convinced that its

In the industry,computer engineers are asked to understand these technologies. To tackle this task, companiesdeveloping large scale and embedded systems rely on tracing tools to get precise performancemonitoring and behavior analysis information.This paper first discusses the industry need for computer engineers with a good understandingof computer systems. Subsequently, it illustrates how the Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation(LTTNG
