Seeing the value ofSDN through our recent study (Senior Capstone Project), we believe it is a great opportunity anda critical mission to identify and enhance the right tools and platforms that enable educators andstudents to teach, learn, and stay up-to-date on SDN. We also believe that it’s imperative to demon-strate how these tools may be effectively utilized and applied through the development and deliveryof fully tested hands-on labs and exercises to our undergraduate inter-networking classes.The paper is organized as follows.

A comparison of undergraduate research and industry experiencesfound that most students participated in these learning experiences as rising juniors and seniorsbut the majority of the participants (about 70%) only participated in either industry internships orundergraduate research. Once students selected to participate in undergraduate research orindustry internships, most of them also continued participating in the same type of

The rank order helped in this regard. After some optimization, the finalassessment matrix was established as shown in Fig. 5. A shaded checkbox indicates an assessedoutcome for a given course. As the figure shows, each course is responsible for performingassessment on no more than three outcomes, thus minimizing faculty effort.

Biomedical Engineering Curriculum AbstractIn response to the growing importance of ethical consciousness in the realm of biomedicalengineering, we present a comprehensive educational initiative designed to seamlessly integrateethics across the entire curriculum. This endeavor involved close collaboration with facultymembers and the provision of summer salary support to develop substantial ethical thinkingexercises within key technical courses, including Modeling Cells and Cellular Systems, ImagingSystems, Instrumentation, Biomaterials, and senior capstone design classes.
