Engineering Education, 2008 Open Source Software to Support Student Teams: Challenges, Lessons, and OpportunitiesAbstractTeam projects have a long history in education, with an extensive literature. Appropriate toolsand procedures can support team projects, and open source software tools present specificopportunities and challenges. Open source software (OSS) generally refers to software that isdistributed without charge and with the original source code, so that anyone can fix defects, addenhancements, or otherwise modify the software and share their changes with others. Thus, OSScan be freely installed on any number of computers, and modified by faculty and students withappropriate knowledge, but it may include

arearriving to school already familiar with communication technologies. A recent Pew Internet andAmerican Life Project study found that in 2004, 62% of the internet users between the ages ofeighteen and twenty-seven had used IM4. This number will only continue to rise as thetechnology becomes more and more popular.A trend towards the use of IM over face-to-face meetings is already taking place in the businessworld. In addition to personal use, 10% of the IM users in 2004 were business people5 and theRadicati Group predicted half the IM users to be business users by 20064. The use of IM in thebusiness world leads one to believe that students should be exposed to IM as a tool for groupcollaboration. However, inclusion of IM as a tool for group

, they had to install many programs (Winpcap, SSH, Nmap, Wireshark and VMware Server or VMware Player etc.) on the host machine. These programs did not behave the same way across different platforms and caused maintenance issues. • Students depended on broadband Internet connections to download source codes, RPMs and other files for the labs. The labs were hindered if the Internet connections were unstable or unavailable.2. Virtual Lab Design and ImplementationTo solve the problems discussed above, we tested laboratory topologies using two virtualmachines in selected projects in undergraduate Intrusion Detection Technologies Lab in fall of2007. The addition of a virtual machine demanded more memory and more free hard

what pagesthey can edit, but usually each page can be edited by multiple students and/or each student canedit multiple pages. This makes assessment a challenge, since it is difficult to keep track of thecontributions of each student. Several assessment strategies have been proposed. To ourknowledge, this is the first attempt to compare them. We study the assessment strategies used insix North Carolina State University classes in Fall 2007, and offer ideas on how they can beimproved.1. IntroductionAs an instructional medium, wikis have many advantages. Their collaborative nature enables aclass to tackle projects larger than a single individual could attempt. The ability of students toview their colleagues' work allows cross-fertilization of

experience while updating critical data sources in the community.This service-oriented student project differs from others in that it is ongoing, designed tocontinue into subsequent academic terms with new student teams building upon theirpredecessors work. This project was made possible by employing the focus group and contentanalysis methodologies. These research methodologies permit a high realism of context and thusenabled the researchers to gain a substantive understanding of the problem area. This led toidentifying both the problem of not having critical data and information after a disaster but alsothe problem of not having the resources to ensure the availability of this data and information.These two problems are simultaneously addressed by
