He also serves as the project director for the USAID-funded
year engineering course. For thequantitative portion of the study, all participants (control and experimental) were asked tocomplete a pre and post survey, which consisted of the Motivated Strategies of LearningQuestionnaire (MSLQ) and several demographic questions. The MSLQ was used to categorizestudents as low, medium, and high self-regulated learners. Participant grades in the first yearengineering course were also collected to look at the performance of the control andexperimental groups. The quantitative data will be used to determine if the FYS 101 course had asignificant impact on the SRL skills and performance of the experimental group when comparedto the control group. Data collection for this project is on-going and results will be

That, we posit, is a good starting point.We developed the framework with an axiom that the throughput of a learning process increasessignificantly with active participation, intense reflections, and collaborative working on casestudies and real-life projects i.e. student-centered learning. We have synergistically combined theelements to ensure the targeted outcome of the workshop - the ability to explain creativity andinnovation and their underlying dynamics, and the ability to apply the understanding to provideinnovative solutions to real-life problems.

the authenticity of the VM templates and how do we protect VM templates from beingmanipulated? If cryptophytic approach is applied, how long will it take to authenticate VMtemplates? This article studied related work and proposed a cryptography based solution toauthenticate VM templates. Real virtual machine templates of different sizes were used tomeasure the performance of different approaches. The results show that a PKI-like strongauthentication approach is not unacceptable to be used in real cloud computing environment.This study is derived from a security course project. Students learned the basics of cryptographyand began to apply their knowledge in a real world setting. The study provides insights andbenefits for both the cloud

this need was amajor outcome of the recent “Engineering Design and Practices Roundtable: Working Togetherto Advance Pre K-12 Engineering Design” convened by the Museum of Science in Boston inJanuary 2015. Without a shared understanding of what engineering design practices (orcomputational thinking in this case) look like in pre-college settings, researchers and curriculumdevelopers will result in numerous inconsistencies across the broad spectrum of implementation.The project reported in this paper aims to integrate computational thinking into an existingintegrated STEM curriculum. In order to develop computational thinking supplementsappropriate for young children, the team analyzed the existing curriculum and videotapedobservations of
