Research suggested 60% or more of chief executives in Great Britainbelieved their company’s information technology did not typically help to achieve their businessgoals and objectives, compared with 39% for IT directors [16]. Meanwhile, IT managerscriticized the executive members who did not understand technology for failing to support ITinvestments and projects [16].In a competitive environment, a new role for the CIO required him/her “to establish, implement,and communicate the strategic IT vision and plan, wedded to the overall business strategy, andensure that IT is used effectively to achieve overall business goals

While this institutional transitionhas been the result of much strategic planning, it has strained state and community resources andcontinues to create a number of challenges, particularly in the availability of scholarship funds.UVU has a dual mission – that of a comprehensive university offering bachelor’s degrees and afew master’s degrees, and that of a community college offering associate degrees andcertificates. As part of its community college mission, the institution maintains an open-enrollment policy. Student demographics are similar to those of a community college, withmany students seeking a “second

The course covers the CompTIA Security+ requirements andis based on the HyFlex delivery model which was originally developed at San Francisco StateUniversity.This paper discusses how a limited-flexibility model was transformed due to the COVID-19pandemic into a highly flexible delivery model. Specifically, the course went beyond simplyhaving lecture and laboratory components to offering a HyFlex Options Menu where studentsselect between several options for each area of the class.

By 2016,approvals for change of majors to these Schools for students that did not meet the thresholdwere very rare. This extended to change of major requests from one major to another withinthe School of Engineering and Computer Science as well.

In addition, we survey mentors monthly to document their activities and meet withmentors once a month to gather feedback, identify potential problems, and share successfulstories or tips.

The prerequisite forCEN4072 is the data structures course. The grading policy for the course is based on 2 midtermexams (25 % each), a group project (25%), attendance and class participation (5%) and a finalexam (20%). The course is structured as a lecture section with no lab component, and students areexpected to work on the project outside of class on their own time, with some in class question ses-sions. The textbook currently used in the course is “Foundations of Software Testing”’ by Mathur[21]. Other reading material includes class notes and tutorials on testing tools.The

They are theeasiest to book rooms for (or offer online as webinars), find instructors for, and create materialfor. For the participant, one hour is a reasonable amount of time to find in their day and there arerarely any follow-up requirements. Thus, there is very little risk of making a bad time investmentfor the learner, and the instructional team has a lot of flexibility in repeating the training andexperimenting with content. From research methods to retirement plans, this format is anexceptional platform for learners to explore new tools and services.

Since then, universities have offered a variety of general education courses incomputer literacy and programming. Some existing courses that are part of the core focus onhighly technical skills, while others are aimed at educating students more generally. Recently,there has been a call for an expansion of computer literacy to include cyber literacy, safety, andsecurity [21, 22, 24]. Universities have begun to offer courses in cybersecurity

Wehope to complete these works by next year.CONCLUSIONIn this work, we parallelized the sampling step of the SMC algorithm and were able to achieve up to 25%speedup in the runtime when using a machine with 8 cores. Currently, the convenience of converting aserial program to parallel and availability of multicore machines makes it quite sensible that the firstapproach to make any algorithm efficient is to take advantage of parallel computing. In the future, we planto run experiments in multi-cluster machines. We also plan to consider modifying the algorithm so that itcan

Questions serve the purpose of making clear andconcrete that which is unknown or misunderstood by the student. By making the unknownconcrete, a pathway for exploration, engagement and
