Seeing the value ofSDN through our recent study (Senior Capstone Project), we believe it is a great opportunity anda critical mission to identify and enhance the right tools and platforms that enable educators andstudents to teach, learn, and stay up-to-date on SDN. We also believe that it’s imperative to demon-strate how these tools may be effectively utilized and applied through the development and deliveryof fully tested hands-on labs and exercises to our undergraduate inter-networking classes.The paper is organized as follows.

We applied the following Python librariesand packages to process the data: • Pandas: an open-source data analysis and manipulation tool for Python [37]. We used version 1.1.0 in the analysis. • Numpy: an open-source project to enable numerical computing in Python [38]. We applied version 1.18.1. • lxml: a Python library for processing XML and HTML [39], and we used version 4.3.0 in data collection and processing. • Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK): a suite of open-source libraries for symbolic and sta- tistical natural language processing for English written in

This paper presents preliminary, yet promising, results of empirically miningwords that demonstrate a curious disposition (of the students) in text data produced by studentsin response to thought-provoking and critical-thinking exercises. The success of our projectcould positively impact efforts to assess both curiosity and its impact on educational outcomes.For many decades, psychologists have wrestled with understanding the nature of curiosity.Recent work by Grossnickle [9] has provided a framework for understanding facets, factors anddimensions of the construct of curiosity that are relevant to the education audience

It has enormousimplications for government security, economic prosperity and public safety. The number of databreaches in the education sector doubled during 2017, with only the financial and healthcaresectors having more breaches [3]. The cost of a data breach in U.S. education is higher than thecost in other sectors and countries [18]. Domains with “.edu” addresses are a high risk for

Lattuca et. al.’s2017 engineering education study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topicsand skills (specifically including participating in non-engineering co-curricular activities andhumanitarian engineering projects), “significantly and positively relate to engineering students’reports of interdisciplinary skills” [4]. In this paper, we suggest an interdisciplinary computerprogramming exercise based on Ada Lovelace’s 1843 program for Charles Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine, thus promoting knowledge transfer between the humanities (history) and computerscience.

While we do consider the support mechanisms students mayleverage to overcome obstacles, in general, these results emphasize the larger issues in existinghiring structures, and demonstrate the importance of not treating students as a monolith. Thefindings from this work are intended to inform educators about how to better prepare students tosucceed on technical interviews, and to encourage industry to reform the process to make it moreequitable.1 IntroductionBetween 2019 and 2029, demand for workers in computing occupations are expected to surge28.8% [1].

In an era of mobile and ubiquitous computing, almost everyembedded device can connect online to make full use of its potentials and accommodate taskneeds. Hence, a good understanding of computer networking opens doors for many high-techjobs for computer science and engineering majors. Traditionally, computer networking coursesutilize switches and routers in the laboratory environment to give students hands-on projects toenhance their learning experience. However, due to the pandemic situation, many institutionshave switched to online learning. The computer networking class is not allowed to access thephysical networking equipment in the laboratories

Thegoal is to inspire students’ creativity and engage them in their learning experience. By providinguser friendly tools that support changing the model, students learn to deal with changing andexploiting scenarios in the case.We use a simple conceptual model with a few nurses, doctors, and staff to represent the clinic.Simplicity and real-world familiarity of this concept provides students with a jumpstart to takeownership of their simulation study.

These pictures are used to generate the student face database as a reference for real-timeface recognition. To check the attendance of a student for the class, the computer takes facepictures of the student through the real-time video stream and employs deep learning neuralnetworks to predict whether the student matches anyone in the database, and (if yes) furtheridentifies the name of the student. The result of this face recognition will be used to update theattendance record in the format of an excel file. Fig.1 Architecture of the proposed attendance system2.2 Face Detection

Students divided into groupsbased upon the immersion option that they wanted to pursue as well as the topics that theyindicated interest in. Several project topics were suggested for each category and student groupswere free to propose their own.In the industry option, one group of students had an opportunity to explore the NDSU networkand its security. A second group helped a local business (which one of the students was workingat) to design a security testing exercise which was deployed by the company’s staff who reportedback (somewhat abstracted, for security purposes, results to the students).

Studying students’ self-beliefs is one way to understandpersistence in a school setting. This paper explores how students' disciplinary identity sub-constructs including competence/performance, recognition, interest, and sense of belongingcontribute to academic persistence. A survey of 1,640 students as part of an NSF grant wasconducted at three South Florida metropolitan public universities.

Nonetheless,the fast development and updates on the area of RTOS may cause the knowledge learned fromone specific RTOS outdated in some time and not applicable to another RTOS.Traditionally, teaching and learning RTOS are implemented in the following ways. First, weteach the students the design principles of RTOS and show them a ready-to use commercialRTOS. We call this a “top-down” approach. The benefit is that students will be able toimmediately deploy that specific RTOS [1].
