systems play an integral role in large-scale processes for interfacing with transducers and machinery for real time control and dataacquisition. The increasing demand to integrate SCADA systems with remote networks andInternet of Things (IoT) technologies has raised concerns for information security specialists.These systems are thought to have notable security vulnerabilities and may be subject to anincreasing number of cyber threats. In this paper/project, several students from Sam Houston StateUniversity design and deploy a SCADA laboratory to better understand these systems and theinherent security threats that go with them.

University, we have partnered with Xilinx, a leading manufacturer ofFPGAs and a leading provider of programmable platforms to develop a graduate level course forComputer Engineering curriculum to bridge the gap between computer engineers and softwaredevelopers. This course would allow students from engineering and computer science majors tobe able to develop and implement applications on FPGAs using Python programming languageand overlays that are similar to software libraries. In this paper, we describe the structure of thecourse along with the associated topics and laboratory exercises.I.
