-on experience that include operations of those complex systems. However, theinsurmountable costs and lengthy regulating processes render the aforementioned type of projectsunfeasible.In this paper, we discuss the potential to engineering education of re-purposing of a $40M IntegratedSystem Test (IST) facility with a 1.7 MWt capacity, which was originally developed for the m-PowerSMR design by BWXT Technologies, Inc. (a.k.a. BWXT), and it is currently located at LibertyUniversity's Center for Engineering Research and Education, in Forest, Virginia. The aforementionedthermal-hydraulic loop could be used for complementing teaching on areas such as: controls, thermal-hydraulics, modularity in energy systems, cyber-physical systems, and many

over their summer experience are at the foundation of the scientific methodand discovery and more importantly invaluable in their holistic engineering education. Theylearned to understand experimental protocol (and to revise it as needed) and to use and revise newscientific equipment; these skills are applicable to life beyond university in industry, academe orconsultancy. Their design and application of new data capture technologies and the significant dataanalysis and interpretation associated with real world investigations will serve them well in theirremaining years as students and their careers beyond. During this research, the student teamworked independently, provided regular communications of status and progress and learned howexciting

Objectives DefinedThe five students soon asked: If samples could be taken more often than the utility’s mandatedfifteen minute intervals, would the demand numbers routinely be less that the utility claimed? Ifso, could the university then negotiate the demand piece of its electric power bill to be less?Concurrently, the Facilities Director asked the five students to find out 1) how accurate is thepublic electrical utility’s demand and energy data? and 2) How can gateway metering bestsupport his long-term plan to set up an emergency microgrid for the university? Answering allthese questions required advanced technology that he lacked and had been unable to afford.Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), the world’s leader in electric power

Harvesting using Raspberry PiAbstractDue to advances in digital technology, cyberattack grows faster than other crimes. According thecybersecurity statistics for 2020, Gartner forecasts the worldwide cybersecurity spending reachesup to $133.7 billion in 2022. As the growth of cyber threats, the practical cybersecurity educationis gaining its importance. Hands-on experience through the lab exercise becomes crucialcomponent because students tend to learn thing better when observing how practically it’s beenapplied in real system. The most common attacks are phishing and social engineering, whichmore than 60% of business experienced in 2018. Recently, the phishing attack in Wi-Fi,“Wifiphisher”, which utilizes automated phishing agent to public Wi-Fi to
