This paper provides an updated analysis (N = 50)combining the previously reported data from the 2017 camp and the implementation results of thesummer 2018 camp. Results indicated statistically significant gains in students’ content knowledgeand positive changes in attitudes of mainly female students towards science, technology,engineering and math.KeywordsSTEM, K-12, flight simulation, mathematics, scienceIntroductionThe U. S. K-12 education system is facing several challenges which are of grave concern especiallyin context of the U.S. technological leadership of the world. These challenges include thecontinued global non-competitive performance of U.S. middle school students in

actual input data; it onlyrelies on n. Therefore, a lookup table can be pre-computed and loaded at runtime. We first definean algorithm in Python-based pseudocode that determines where samples should reside at eachstage of the algorithm, as in Figure 2. Figure. 2 Algorithm for computing table A of sample indices at each stage From this table, we can compute another table that explicitly states the destination indexthat a sample needs to be sent to. That is, using the new table B, calculated using the algorithm inFigure 3, during stage s, sample i in the current buffer should be sent to position B[s][i].

IPv6, the Internet’s migration to the new protocol has beenanything but smooth. Many have expressed doubts, and some still do, that IPv6 will reach fulladoption and replace IPv4 as the Internet’s dominant protocol. However, empirical data suggeststhat Internet IPv6 adoption has entered a phase of rapid acceleration [3]. A recent study by [4]found that the number of IPv6 users on the Internet has reached the early majority level ofadoption and full adoption could occur as early as December 2024. Figure 1 shows the numberof users accessing Google over IPv6 reached 26.31% in January of 2019 [5].Figure 1. The adopter distribution normal curve partitioned into adopter categories overlaid withthe S-shaped diffusion curve [6]. The number of IPv6

The Attack VM was the Kali Linux that preparedstudents with a variety of penetration testing tools to initiate attacks and exploit systemvulnerabilities on other students’ defense VMs. Each defender was either a Windows Server orLinux machine that was configured specifically for its corresponding attack or defense sub-lab.A Score and Message Board was designed to display the points students achieved. The studentgained positive points when s/he successfully attacked someone’s VM or configured his/her owndefense VM; on the contrary, the student got negative points when s/he did not prevent an attackfrom others or failed to configure his/her own defense VM.

A. The open-ended reflections focus on how the student engaged and learned in the course. It encourages students to recognize positive, negative and neutral aspects of the task(s). B.

Future work should look at collecting data on a larger scale to determine ifany of the activity categories are significant predictors of success, such as GPA.

Computer-assisted instruction is an innovativeinstructional strategy that has been receiving increasing attention in engineering education 16. Ithas been shown that computer
