• Establish, configure, and properly protect a remote desktop connection to the 2003 Server using terminal services • Configure File EncryptionAt the end of each lab project, the students are required to write a laboratory reportdocumenting their experiences with the software installation and configuration. Thestudents do not like having to do this activity but as IT professionals they must be able tocommunicate technical information in a non-technical way. By providing them with theexperience of writing lab reports they get some exposure of having to write technicalreports. Many students take the course during their second semester sophomore year orsometime during their junior year and many students have come back and informed thefaculty

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

. Gehringer North Carolina State University efg@ncsu.eduAbstractThis paper is a survey of dozens of active and collaborative learning strategies that have beenused in teaching computing. The most basic are “think-pair-share” exercises, where studentsthink about a problem, discuss it with their neighbors, and then share it with the rest of the class.Teams may work together in class to solve problems, with the instructor providing writtencomments. Bringing competition into the picture always helps motivate students, e.g., havingfinal projects compete against each other (e.g., a prey/predator game), or playing a Jeopardy-likegame to review for an exam. Many such activities can be

MonitoringAffordability and manufacturability were two key concepts that guided the design process. The firstphase of this project was to build a prototype Smart Cottage, but the ultimate objective was to buildmany of these cottages at an affordable cost. The reference cost was the HUD two-bedroom price limitof $104,000 for the Western Pennsylvania area.Universal DesignThe Smart Cottage for Seniors has been developed using Universal Design techniques that will insurea long lasting and comfortable home for seniors. The Universal Design features of the cottage are: • 1040 sq. ft. single-level floor plan • Technology channels embedded in walls during manufacture • Large bathroom with 5-feet turning radius
