againstcyber treats is education. According to Frost and Sullivan [7], a global shortage of 1.8 millioncybersecurity professionals is projected by 2022. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected 37%of information security job growth from 2012 to 2022 and announced that more than 200,000cybersecurity jobs in U.S. are not filled every year.Education in cybersecurity draws more attention from K-12 to adult. Recently, U.S. Congresshas urged to develop high-quality educators to cybersecurity education [8]. Many researchersstudied teaching methodologies to maximize the student learning. One of the key components inengineering and science education is a laboratory-based course, which includes a practical hand-on exercise. Many academic institutes developed

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

AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center (CPC) seasonal data to compute the PalmerDrought Severity Index (PDSI). The accuracy of the model is validated using the historicalrecords of drought indices and available seasonal temperature and precipitation data provided bythe NOAA CPC. The results of the forecasts produced by this model will be compared with theobserved drought indices and validated. The mean error rate and root mean square error (RMSE)methods are used to measure the accuracy of the forecast at stations for validation. The validatedmodel can be used in classroom and laboratory settings for general engineering studies.1. IntroductionDrought is a part of the natural variability consists of various hydrologic interactions such
