ofuse, and in the case of the drives, portability between host computers. Other comparisons suchas weight and cost are readily apparent, but were evaluated according to their importance to thestudents. The study found that portable hard drives are an effective compromise between cost,flexible lab use, and performance.IntroductionEducating future Information Technology (IT) practitioners can be a very costly endeavor for auniversity due to the expense of obtaining, updating and maintaining computer hardware forstudent practicum. Typical IT laboratory curriculum includes networking, web programming,database development, information assurance and security, and system administration, all ofwhich may have unique system and configuration requirements

Finally, although most participants found the system relatively easy to useand consistent to their learning styles, one mentioned that “it’s a great program, but the programdidn’t work for me.” Unfortunately, he neglected to elaborate his response.Unique ContributionsThis module is one part of comprehensive curriculum development in Civil Engineering atMissouri S&T. Instead of developing a separate course on Geographic Information Systems,GIS modules were developed especially to integrate into existing courses. Such an approachhas broad implications for a model in which new technological approaches can be seamlesslyintegrated into existing courses. Second, this research demonstrates how a systematicqualitative approach

suggestedthat educational institutions should place more emphases on the fundamental courses to cultivatestudents with essential skills/knowledge and capabilities to cope independently with highlychangeable business environment.On the other side, some of the interviewed faculty members of the IT department signified thatuniversity-level IT education should emphasize more on an in-depth knowledge of howemerging EC technologies can be applied by business firms as well as an in-depth understandingof databases management systems, systems analysis and design, implementation, integration andmanagement issues. The comparison between the IT curriculum and the survey results showsthat many of the important topics were not extensively taught, for example

Based UnitsIntel Education informs that:Authentic project work puts students in the driver's seat of their own learning. Itis important that instructors take advantage of curriculum developed by teachersin a large collection of Unit Plans that integrate technology. Models ofmeaningful classroom projects that integrate instruction in thinking skills alongwith tools and strategies for developing one’s own exemplary technology-supported learning are always encouraged. They focus on three areas:1. It is important to learn how project-based units can effectively engage students in meaningful work and promote higher-order thinking.2. It is necessary to see how questions and ongoing assessment keep project work focused on important learning goals

EER notation. FIGURE 6. Original EER for Constraint 4ConclusionTemporal constraints are often integral to the correct operation of a business, yet they areseldom captured in a high-level notation such as EER. This means that the fundamentalinteraction of temporal constraints on the business are often only captured in detailedrequirements or, even worse, only in code.James Allen [2] defines a non-primitive relationship “in” which allows one interval bewholly within another interval. The “in” relationship would be an even more appropriaterelationship than the “during” relationship to be used for our examples. The “during”relationship was used because it is a primitive relationship and the introduction of non-primitive

• Security technologies • Security planning and architectureWhile developing this course, the CIS department also developed an information security majorprogram that would fulfill US government requirements for information security education. Thedepartment would seek certification for the major under the Information Assurance CoursewareEvaluation Program9. Since the curriculum focuses on training “information securityprofessionals,” the department sought to meet the requirements of Instruction 4011 of theCommittee for National Security Systems7. Although this document dates from 1994, it is stillthe curriculum standard used by the US government. To support this, the course includesexercises to cover almost all “learning outcomes” listed in the

The course alsowas a result of feedback given to CIT by their Industrial Advisory Board (IAB). Prior toABET creating an information technology accreditation for IT programs, CIT relied onthe IAB for feedback on ways to improve the curriculum and facilities. In 2000, one ofthe main action items given to CIT from the IAB was that IST students needed to havehands-on experience with
