Simple and cheap implementation since acquiring a huge budget for such a project was not feasible 2. Fixed system and dedicated to the building; works 24/7. 3. Can work in most if not all the emergencies. 4. In case of an emergency, it can send information from inside to outside. 5. Emergency responders can communicate directions and instructions

The course was initially offered as elective for upper level CS majorsand graduate students, and constitutes the major security component of the program although othercomponents are integrated throughout our curriculum. The current offering is required for undergraduateIT majors. The course size is usually approximately 18-25 students most in their senior year.As initial assignment in the course, the students were asked to provide a survey of the security issues incampus. Suggested issues included the electronic mail system, the course delivery system (Blackboard),the student information system, access to labs

)diversity.ConclusionMost engineers will spend their careers in the process of slow modifications within a given toolset ofknown solutions, which make reference books such as “The Art of Electronics” by Horowitz invaluable[33]. Students can be taught to go to the reference and to not reinvent the wheel, but rather to use atoolbox of ready-made solutions and components. This does package complexity and reduce the time ofproduct development, but it can also lead to poor design solutions. Many engineering students are nottaught to explicitly understand the design process even as they may go through a senior design capstonecourse. In their technical careers many will work in teams on projects that were well defined before themand will continue after them and wherein

If desired, the instructor can provide leading questions or specific issues to be addressed inrelation to the overall weekly topic. The project will culminate in a significantly longer entry (minimum1000 words) tying weekly topics together by highlighting the common threads—the stated coursethemes—and using reason to make conclusions.
