addition, the number of malicious applications is increasing continually. All these reasons raise a high challenge to computer science researchers and educators. How to build the next generation of workforce that are equipped with techniques and problem solving capabilities in the mobile pervasive computing and security has drawn attentions to researchers and STEM educators. As a collaborative effort supported by NSF program, this paper presented a laboratory development conducted in computer science program at Alabama A&M University regarding to mobile computing and security issues. In addition, class studies that apply the laboratories to classroom teaching using flip-flop are briefly discussed

For example some programs use microcontrollers and low-level languages like C orassembly language to teach basic computer architecture concepts. Others use the flexibility ofprogrammable platforms to teach basic discrete mathematics concepts. Yet other programs in ITrecognize that the computing world is moving to different platforms, such as mobile platformsand the “Internet of Things” and choose to incorporate these

None ofthem catered to Internet accessible remote laboratories. With this scenario, an LMS has beendeveloped to support remote laboratory delivery. Along with the standard features, the newlydeveloped LMS allows management of the laboratory experiments, performance of experimentsby the students, access control, experiment time allocation, a queue for experiment performance,weekly surveys, and tracking of facility usage.6.
