ConclusionThe course uses a variety of problem-solving strategies and encourages practice, exploration, andtinkering to increase students’ comfort not only with their technical skills but also with theirability to acquire new skills. Students can thus approach future coursework, research, andinternships with some introductory experience with version control, security, command line tools,web development, and user-centered design. The course is significantly composed of classworkactivities so that students are highly engaged and regularly expected to work with their peers.Furthermore, this course could be a gateway for students to engage in more computing experienceoutside of their college coursework: hackathons, online coding challenges, computing clubs

managementcan become a challenge when issues occur. On one hand, current IT organizations are not well equippedto manage service overlays such as SaaS based solutions. On the other hand, SaaS based deliveryrelies on the good functioning of multiple management domains without cross domain visibility.In this paper we detail the work of designing and implementing a management platform for a conferencingservice launched by East Carolina University and distributed over multiple admin domains. The projectoffered a collaboration opportunity between students, graduate and undergraduate, from two distinctdepartments: Information and Computer Technology [1], and Computer Science [2]. The task assigned tothe team was to deploy a monitoring solution enabling

member of the American Society for Engineering Education and the SAFE Association. Prior to receiving his Ph.D. in 1983, Dr. Nelson worked as a design engineer in industry and taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston and Texas A&M University at Galveston. In industry he was primarily involved in design of floating and fixed structures for the offshore petroleum industry. After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Nelson joined the civil engineering faculty at Texas A&M University. He joined the civil engineering faculty at Clemson University in 1989 as Program Director and founder of the Clemson University Graduate Engineering Programs at The Citadel and became Chair of Civil Engineering in 1998.

, Karanjaindicated, was a possible issue with the development of information security best practices. If theCOO fails to understand or is not aware of security issues, the proper resources may not beallocated to the security of the information assets. CIO reporting is also a concern. By ensuringthe CIO reports to the CEO, the CEO is more likely to be provided a clear picture of thealignment of the technical and business aspects of the organization but miss security concerns.As mentioned, CEOs are concerned with the overall success of the organization and must rely onthe other C-Suite staff for input to assist with organization decisions. Conflict, then,can occurwhen security governance and corporate governance do not align. As continued adoption of

have been incorporated into all facets of life, from the medicalindustry to transportation and it has even made its way into our homes. These devices have accessto vast amounts of data, especially personal data. However, due to the compact nature of thesedevices, insufficient effort has been made to incorporate security into their design. With that inmind, IoT devices are treasure-troves of potential evidentiary data for forensic investigators,especially when these devices are used to aid in criminal activities. Concerning IoT devices, thereis a need to investigate these devices to find answers to questions such as, what data can berecovered from these devices along with their respective smartphone applications? What methodswould be best

two offerings of the course were students fromComputer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering while the program is alsoopen to students from Civil Engineering and Mathematics. The curriculum was structured whereall credit hours earned contribute to their graduation requirements. The introductory course is anelective course. The objective is not for students to be security experts, rather it is about knowingenough to understand cyber threat impacts to the system design process, understand how to protectagainst such threats, and be able to know when to call the cybersecurity experts. Although thereare many degree programs in cybersecurity as a major and research in cyber physical systemrelated to smart infrastructure &

This precluded timeintensive efforts such as learning complicated software or prerecording lectures in an instructionallab environment.Mastery learning (or learner-centric) techniques introduced by Bloom in the 1970s and expandedby researchers over the last half century have an established track record for enhancing studentlearning.1–3 In particular, periodic formative assignments are necessary and should be designed sothat students reflect on mistakes and adjust their learning efforts as needed.

They write that the greatest challenges for recent graduates involve effectivelycommunicating with customers and coworkers, using software tools and configuration managementsystems, and creating unit tests for code. Also, the most common issues preventing students fromobtaining a position at a company were a lack of problem-solving abilities and project experience. EricBrechner, Director of Microsoft Development Training, voices similar concerns about the inadequatepreparation of CSE college graduates transitioning to full-time positions and cites the following as areasof needed preparation: software design and analysis; writing

. She worked on the PowerEN Technology, a blur between general purpose and networking processors and hardware accelerators. She identified and studied workloads at the edge of the network that required high-throughput and fast deep-packet processing. Since 2012, her research has been focused on Computer Science Education, especially in the area of peer collaboration, scaling techniques for large courses, auto-graders and learning analytics. She is also working on software that can be used for teaching and learning. She is investigating techniques and best practices on broadening participation in Computer Science.
