. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Preliminary Experience and Impact of Experiment-focused Teaching Approach in a Computer Architecture Course in Computer ScienceAbstract—One of the key knowledge areas in Computer Science (CS) is Digital Logic andComputer Architecture where the learning outcome is an understanding of Boolean algebra, logicgates, registers, or arithmetic logic units, etc. and explaining how software and hardware arerelated to a computing system. Experimental Centric based Instructional Pedagogy (ECP) withportable laboratory instrumentation might provide real hands-on experience to obtain a practicalunderstanding of those concepts at a lower cost compared to virtual hands-on laboratories thatlack direct
well aware of these novel technologies, we need to update our curriculum andcourse design. In this paper, I present some laboratories (labs) that the students conducted as apart of a course project in the ubiquitous computing class. This course is an elective forundergraduate Computer and Information Sciences or Information technology students. Thestudents who take this course are either juniors or seniors. Covid-19 has taught us how remoteteaching is useful to ensure proper education during the time of the pandemic. This project aimsto design different lab modules that the students can conduct without purchasing hardware. Idesigned this course at the time of covid pandemic to ensure student learning and success in aneconomical way. I devised
superfluous hardware. The solution to thiswould be to implement virtual Iot laboratories which could be done at a reduced risk and cost.Using Virtual Machines (VM) also allows flexibility in the delivery of the coursework.Prior Work (Literature Review)J. He et al [8] created a physical IoT lab consisting of Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards and aset of sensors with Zigbee as the wireless communication method. They developed a lab for anEmbedded Systems Analysis and Design course. The lab was a collection of self-containedmodules which presented concepts and hands-on exercises on embedded systems. Thisapproach requires the use of physical hardware, so it can be costly to implement or scale up
control the rover remotely. The GUI program obtains the GPSlocation of the rover and displays the location of the rover on a map. For the control of the rover,ROS (Robot Operating System) was utilized. A Raspberry Pi 3B+ board is used as anintelligence unit of the system. The collected samples can be brought to a laboratory for furtheranalysis. In this paper, the details of the amphibious sampling rover and the educational lessonsvia this capstone project are presented.I.

Although the exact location of where mosquitoes lay eggs depends on the mosquitospecies or the local environment available to the mosquitos, water is a necessity

Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering
