, to the best of our knowledge, a practical solution and an effective assessmentstrategy have not been adopted for emerging usage models integration such as IWMDs. Ourpedagogical hypothesis is that emerging security research (through cryptographic solutions) canbe integrated in university education considering three teaching and learning approaches; (a).Developing a respective multi-disciplinary laboratory (engineering, mathematics, andbiomedicine in particular) for both research and teaching, (b). Advancing education throughinter- and intra-university research collaborations in the aforementioned fields, and (c).Assessing the outcome through detailed benchmarks.

Students who are initially dazzled by the puzzle ofcreating a seven-segment display on an analog oscilloscope learn something by understandingand using this circuit. That’s the goal.Described here are some applications that have been used in a digital design laboratory that eachemploy a distinctive seven-segment display produced on a standard analog oscilloscope. Thedisplay is unconventional, and probably not suitable for commercial implementations, but it is awonderful tool for inspiring students to study and understand digital applications.

The course, called Measurement and Automation, is cross-listed as asenior-level undergraduate course, and a graduate course. The course is oriented aroundindividual workstations using National Instruments USB-6211 data acquisition devices and theLabVIEW programming environment. Each project during the semester incorporates industry-standard sensors to produce the subject data streams, providing signals rich with both signal-of-interest and noise. The course consists of a mixture of

Considering that it is a hands-oncourse, we went to great lengths to make sure that the student project kits would be easilyaccessible and not require the students to utilize a laboratory environment.Related WorksWhen we consider hands-on education using embedded systems, we stand on the shoulders ofgiants.

desiredmicroprocessor/microcontroller is used in the laboratory to introduce the hands-on experience. This well-thought-out course structure has been working really well, and students completing this course usuallyhave the skills to build a small-scale system.Things are starting to change in embedded system design due to field programmable devices. In the olddays, programmable devices were used as glue logic, but their use is no longer limited to this role.Programmable devices have also been benefited from the shrinking of transistors, allowing moreresources to be packed into a programmable device. With the continued increase of usable FPGA gatesand improvement of off-the-shelf soft processor core computer-aided design (CAD) tools, it is nowpossible to teach a
