Having access to experts in these areas via a co-teaching methodaffords students multiple perspectives on a particular structure and on civil engineering broadly.And while a field experience can be simulated in the classroom or laboratory, when it comes tocivil engineering and history, there is simply nothing like being
and sociocultural norms as well as in classic studies of socialization in scientific andtechnical careers, which don’t mention novices’ existing knowledge, skills, or identities (e.g.,[17], [18], [19]). Despite ongoing critiques of this mindset as inaccurate and a barrier to learningand identity formation (e.g., [20], [21], [22]), some academic communities, such as theengineering research laboratory groups that co-author Wylie studies, continue to talk aboutnovices according to this model. This approach does great injustice to newcomers to expertcommunities as well as robs experts of opportunities to learn from “a wisdom of peripherality”([23] p. 216), i.e., the invaluable perspective of outsiders.

touches upon the existing attempts at buildingsuch a near-world lab for academic research and teaching purposes and their challenges. TheSCADA laboratory we designed and the research findings we present will be either used todevelop new courses or supplement the existing courses in the undergraduate and graduatecurriculum with fairly enough number of hands-on activities. Moreover, our paper highlights thechallenges, limitations and the methodologies in the project to achieve these goals. Thecross-disciplinary design of the lab allows students from various programs with specific goals touse the lab for their studies.Related WorkThe SCADA systems have been target of attacks particularly in the last two decades with theadvancements in technology.

all were unclear about what causes hard water. Given thisexperience, a new approach was sought to help students better understand what water hardnessis, why it is a problem, and why it is important to remove in certain situations.A review of ASEE Conference proceedings revealed that other courses in Water Treatmentcourses have labs associated with their classes where a titration lab following procedures such asthose outlined in the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater isconducted to measure hardness in water samples [8]. Only two papers present alternativeapproaches to teaching water hardness and removal concepts [6], [9]. These two papers aredescribed below.Researchers at the University of Toledo implemented active
