It aims to bring moral philosophy to the budding computer scientist. The coursesyllabus covers the usual subjects of privacy, security, intellectual property, cyberabuse and othersocial detriments, and professional codes, but also reaches farther into philosophy, to equipstudents with the vocabularly and methods of the humanities.

Robotic design is currentlynot yet well represented in undergraduate academic programs.In order to prepare our computer engineering students for the robot design experience which canbe considered as a complex embedded systems design, we offer two courses on embeddedsystems. However, these two courses on embedded systems design are not enough to teach thestudents the skills that they need. In order to satisfy the ABET requirements students incomputer engineering program are required to take a capstone course. The projects that studentsdo in this capstone course are embedded projects.

Additionally, we alsofound that this difference was only significant for students who did not have prior programmingexperience. This indicates that early submission of assignments can help students who do not haveprior programming experience in improving their overall course performance. By understandingthe major student interaction patterns, we believe that instructors and educators can better designlearning experiences for students in CS1 courses.1 Introduction Computer programming has historically been difficult for students to learn [1, 2].

To address the problem, we developed a novel virtual lab environmentthat sheds light on computer networking by showing students components of typical computernetworks with both hosts and backbone infrastructure using Wireshark and Mininet. The tools weutilized are a packet sniffer and emulated networking testbed. Even though students do notphysically build a computer network as was done in the real lab, they still got insights into apacket’s journey from a source host through routers before getting to the destination host.

This is because for advanced applications,one probably really wants to do 1. symbolic model manipulation 2. symbolic model simplification 3. numeric model simulation 4. code generation (for efficiency)Some experts have reported that the premise of Matlab is numerical computing.

It is usually difficult toaccommodate any extra time due to the lack of available resources to keep the laboratoriesopen. Additionally, laboratory facilities are often inaccessible to the students of otherdepartments within the same institution because of their geographical location. At the sametime too much laboratory equipment lies idle during most of its usable lifetime.

However, including constraints in this graphical model are just areminder for the programmer to be considered during the database implementation but it is betterto have them included. The problem is that constraint is very rigid and the database becomesprogrammer dependent and there is no grantee that programmer will include them in hisimplementation.An alternative solution for this problem is to implement the constraints in the form of triggers.Trigger is a program and is more flexible than a constraint.

Most colleges and universities have software that helps withthese tasks, but it is not well suited to a technical curriculum with extensive prerequisites,laboratory/equipment/software constraints, and faculty availability.

In addition, there are two undergraduate programs that are offeredoff-campus and a residential and
