) Figure 9 - Network Architecture and ConfigurationConclusion and Future WorkThe project was successfully built and tested. The project’s total cost was 1,190.00 US dollarsdistributed over three main areas: 400 for the Pi tower, 340 for the Rock64 tower, and 450 for theFirewall, switches, and Ethernet cables. Three students worked on the implementation,configuration, and documentation for a total of 100 hours during an academic semester. Thestudents reported that they learned by doing hands-on labs and testing, and enjoyed this project.This project is suitable as a capstone or senior group project. Testing results proved that thisproject is suitable for securing the network of a startup company or a small business. This projectcould also be

validation. The design process is itself a complex cognitive process [9] and requiresstudents to undertake deep approaches to learning [10].Chemical engineering design experiences allow students to apply the design process to produceuseful and profitable products to society. However, these experiences are traditionally offeredduring the senior year to meet their Capstone Design Project requirement. Some of the coursesthat may include design experiences are, for example, Process Design, Process and Plant Design,Product Design, and Process Design and Economics [1]. This leaves first-year, sophomore, andjunior students without enough experiences to develop a chemical engineering mindset (attitude)while practicing in "actual" engineering work. Chemical

This means answering questions such as: Which type of motor is the most appropriate for the given application? At what speed(s) should be motor be operating? What torque is required for the application? What environmental issues need to be considered in selecting the motor?An initial foray into motor selection was briefly discussed as part of a larger discussion involvingworking with industrial partners [10].

And while prior studies have focused on why students go into engineering initially3,there has been recognition that selecting an engineering major has not always been based onsignificant understanding of the profession4. It was recognized that an engineering educationalapproach based on a capstone design project offered tangible understanding of the field to studentsbut not until it was too late to reasonably change their intended plan of study, a study by Marinand Associates assessed the most important elements including student preparation

He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of
