7. Electronic fraud 8. Cyber-terrorismThe number of topics will be growing over time. The “Computer Security Handbook bySeymour Bosworth and M.E. Kabay” provides a gateway to many of these topics.19 Oneapproach would be to use this book to cover selected topics. We decided on a differentmethod to cover criminal justice topics.The current plan for this last portion of the course is to make each of these major topics aspecial project for a number of teams consisting of three students per team. Each studentwill be required to research a team topic drawn at random, prepare an individual ten-to-twenty-page paper with at least five references, and participate in a 30-minute teampresentation to the rest of the class.

ConclusionsVersions of the Signals and Systems toolbox have been used for several years in both theclassroom and laboratory portions of an introductory systems course at Union College.Student assessment has been quite favorable, and a number of students have used parts ofthe toolbox independently in later laboratory and project classes. The toolbox may befreely downloaded at http://grinch.union.edu/spinelli/SST. Using it requires a MATLABlicense that includes the Signal Processing and Instrument Control toolboxes.Bibliography 1.

Most have worked as design engineers,construction project managers, environmental engineers, and/or as military combat engineers.These professional engineering experiences enrich their teaching ability by providing manybuilt-in classroom examples and anecdotes. Most of the civilian professors have similarprofessional experience with civilian engineering firms, government agencies and researchlaboratories, the military, or as consultants. The civilian professors also tend to have teachingexperience at other universities. Professional experience is substantiated by the

Following the mock interviews, the course shifts its focus slightly to emphasize the issuesthat arise once the student is ready to consider and evaluate job offers. Attention is also given todifferent career options such as research and development and entrepreneurship. Guest speakersare brought in to talk to the class about these options. During these lectures students areintroduced to the concepts behind funding a research project, Intellectual Property and Non-Compete Agreements, and the like. A good amount of time is also spent on salary negotiation strategies, weighing benefitspackages, and the importance of taking the whole compensation

One example is to design anenunciator flasher in which two internal timers form an oscillator which generates timedpulse output with a specified duration. The program is required to be able to turn ON andOFF a sequence of lights with specified delay between them.

Students receive an introduction to the Engineering Design Process (EDP), are taught howto apply the EDP in developing and testing a prototype, and are required to make a presentationabout their solution to the core problem.

Just the amount of work they expect you to put in outside of class. You know it‟s a three credit hour class so by the general rule it should be like nine hours outside of class and we get like a third of the way through the semester and our teacher‟s like, you know you guys should be doing like 20 to 25 hours outside of class.
