co-authored the first integrated computer and laboratory introductory calculus course in 1975. He has taught middle school mathematics, engineering, and science and both undergraduate science and graduate teaching courses at Harvard. His research interests include assessment of students’ misconceptions and how they change with instruction, K-12 curriculum development, the transition to college of students who wish to purse STEM careers, pre-college engineering, and the professional development of teachers. Dr. Sadler has won the Journal of Research in Science Teaching Award, the American Institute of Physics Computers in Physics Prize, the American Astronomical Society Education Prize, and the American Association

16,000 different line items under a'microcontroller' search.Selecting the ideal MCU and DT for a particular project could be a time-consuming and tedious Page 24.1012.2task for an undergraduate student or the course designer and faculty mentor3. This is aggravated bythe fact that students are usually only familiar with the MCU, DB and IDE they have used duringtheir undergraduate classroom and lab experience. The students are challenged not just by thedesign, but by the integration of these various types of technology.There are other challenges in the curriculum too. A student takes a digital circuits and systemscourse with its laboratory

solution is a new cloud service known as HPC-as-a-Service.In this paper, we present an HPCaaS platform called ASETS which uses Software DefinedNetworking (SDN) technologies to smooth the execution of parallel tasks in the cloud. Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.

to fill ingaps in student knowledge. It is important to keep the activities exciting and varied when teaching theprogram module. For success with this activity the student will need to learn how to develop thesoftware so the vehicle can move with no problems. The students will learn how to code for the different vehicle settings. All of the settings have to be programmed and coded to work together.Concluding RemarksIn conclusion, it can be stated that with proper guidance, monitoring and diligent care, thetechnology students can be exposed earlier to Xcode, Cocoa framework, Objective-C designpattern, Bluetooth development platform. This will go a long way in motivating them,1eliminating their fear, improving their understanding

communication is absolutely essential for the success of ITprojects; this is the professional reality that IT students must be prepared to face after graduation.Just as we teach students to prepare for malware or system failure, we should also teach students Page 26.272.18to prep for effective collaboration and communication with adjacent disciplines. The realproblem of miscommunication must be personalized so the student recognizes that “this will bean issue for me in my actual career.”As a tool suite, Termediator can be used to sensitize students to the semantic misunderstandingsthat will occur in their professional careers.
