Atypical Senior Capstone Projects: The Process is the ProductAbstractSenior capstone projects in Engineering and Technology disciplines teach students valuableskills in design, teamwork, project management and related skills. Almost always these learningobjectives are achieved through student teams building a working prototype or simulation of aproduct or system. However there are other ways that students can exercise their technical designskills

are required to complete a capstone senior design projectduring their final year. The senior design project affords students the opportunity to applytheir individual technical skills and knowledge on a real world project, as well as developtheir problem solving skills, communication skills, and teamwork skills.DDoS attack has become a rapidly growing threat to today’s Internet. A large number ofDDoS detection and defense mechanisms have been proposed to combat the problem.In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an Information Technology seniordesign project named DDoS Attack, Detection and Defense Simulation. In this project, weaim to set up test bed and configure the network environment to simulate the “real-world”DDoS

will be undertaken for further development of VisIT. One project on thedrawing board is the addition of tutorial modules for specific areas of scientific application. Suchprojects will necessitate interaction on the part of the computer science students with scientists ofthese other disciplines.Another upper-division elective covers mobile/wireless programming. Students in this coursemay elect to investigate mobile applications that interface with and make use of VisIT. Of Page 12.1590.4particular interest are data entry and use of GPS enabled devices.Interdisciplinary UseStudents in computer science are required to do a capstone project as a

wireless experts would arrive, but in allcircumstances, their time was limited. Local civil defense authorities realized that otherpersonnel would be required to maintain and expand the established communications backbone.The request for assistance reached the Information Technology (IT) program of a localuniversity.The IT program requires a capstone experience for all graduates. The capstone experience caneither be a design project or an industry internship. The industry internship was created inresponse to the information technology students’ needs for hands-on experience. This internshipprogram allows students to become knowledgeable of the components and processes in theindustry. These experiences provide a way for students to understand the

outcomes. Students develop an electronic portfolio that includes samples oftheir most important learning experiences which may be projects, term papers, extracurricularexperiences, as well as capstone and internship reports. The electronic portfolio is regularlyreviewed and assessed by faculty members to monitor student progress and assess theirachievement of various learning outcomes. A course-outcome matrix is developed for programassessment. The matrix includes a list of all IS courses, their learning outcomes and the expectedachievement levels for these outcomes. At the end of a semester, all courses are analyzed fortheir effectiveness in covering various learning outcomes. The results of this analysis are used toidentify courses that seem

) is designed to provide graduates with the knowledgeand skills necessary to apply current methods and technology to the development, design,operation, and management of electro-mechanical systems. The program is specifically intendedto prepare graduates for careers in industries where automated systems are used and to preparethem both to meet current challenges and to be capable of growing with future demands of thefield. It accomplishes this by accepting associate degree students from either mechanical orelectrical engineering technology programs, cross-training them in the alternate discipline, andthen exposing them to a spectrum of instrumentation and industrial controls concepts. Theprogram culminates with a capstone project design course

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
