Florida currentlyranks second in the nation in biomedical employment with more than 2,000 firms employing50,000 workers in manufacturing medical devices, producing ophthalmic goods, developingbiomedical technologies, and discovering and producing new pharmaceuticals, vaccines anddiagnostic tests. Most of the elements needed to support rapid expansion of this key industry sectorare in place; however, one critical element still needed to support further biotechnology industryexpansion in Florida is a highly skilled workforce.

exercise that walks students through thecreation of a skeleton stream interface driver starting from a basic DLL.All application development is done using Embedded Visual C++. Students are required to usethe device driver that they wrote for all communication between their application(s) and theirhardware. Many students have minimal exposure to C/C++ programming, however, they quicklyadapt to the use of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) for their graphical interface. Thebasics of MFC application development and the use of the remote debugging features of EmbeddedVisual C++ are explored in another structured laboratory exercise.5 Faculty InvolvementTo make a course like this work requires faculty involvement in two ways.

changes for each knock sequence using thewell-known methods of S/Key (RFC 1670) or OTP (RFC 2289). Worth points out that replayattacks can be easily detected and action can be taken against the attacker if warranted.Fwknop released by Michael Rash12 adds the use of OS detection or system fingerprinting13 soonly a certain client operating system and version is allowed. Active OS detection is commonlyused with network exploration tools such as NMAP and XPROBE2 to determine what operatingsystem a computer is running. Fwknop uses passive OS fingerprinting which impliesfingerprinting without necessarily sending extra probing packets. One part of an operatingsystem that is commonly unique is the random number generator. The random number generatoris
