Consider the following storyexample that came to us from one participating graduate student: “Aren’t first moments really just moments? Maybe they set off a new chain of events, and in a sense they are the first in a series of events that form a chapter or short story in a collection of short stories that make-up life? Well here are two memorable moments in my story: Al Wathba Prison, August 2011. Almost ten years after deciding to make my career in security and terrorism, I spent a short stint in Al Wathba Prison - a notorious prison in the middle of

In addition to the consideration for intellectualdiversity, we looked for a few other characteristics in invitees. One criterion that wasimportant was to invite those faculty identified as “doers,” or people who were innovatorswith respect to their careers and endeavors on campus. Also, in light of concerns for Page 22.287.5some of the anticipated cultural barriers that might arise chronicled above, there was anemphasis on inviting faculty who were pluralistic and open-minded in their thinking withrespect to some of the potential barriers we

question, “The teacher was enthusiastic about the course.” Several of thecomments are included below: I like the speakers! Fast track [the textbook] was very expensive and may be unnecessary. Reading load was a bit much. Good course overall. One thing I would change is the addition of class discussion about the reading material. It was interesting, but I think most of the students stopped reading after the first few weeks. Speakers were a beneficial addition to the class. I think the course provided a real eye-opener for students that a whole other type of career/endeavor exists. It was also highly motivational for. The difficulty (obviously) is teaching multiple subject areas to multiple backgrounds

Successful and safe IoT technology will create more career and business opportunities. Our research shows that the most effective, and maybe also only global, solution for data security issues are laws, standards and contracts.” (group E, first report)All student groups were concerned about the economy in some manner in the initial reports.Some took it from a global point of view, where the
