For example, thestudents were required to practice the whole process of deploying and using the Snort intrusiondetection system (IDS), including downloading the Snort source code, compiling and installingthe program with gcc, configuring snort.conf, setting up rules, running Snort as packet logger,running Snort as network-based intrusion system and analyzing network traffic from trace files.

The author will be very satisfied if these system-level design projects help train a few ofsuch professional. To ensure achieving such results, we are planning to continue developing adiversified set of quality system-level projects, refining the contents of existing ones, and toimproving the tutorials and handouts of used design tools. We are also working on improving theevaluation and assessment tools of these project courses.References1. N. Ahmed, T. Natarajan, and k. R. Rao, “Discrete Cosine Transform,” IEEE Trans.

statistics must represent the actual results of calibration and the results should not be hidden by manipulating the numbers. Student Feedback: In general, the students seem to appreciate the course and what it is trying to teach. The hands-on nature of the course is well appreciated. This is the first opportunity that some of the students have gotten to use some of the equipment, such as an oscilloscope. One of the students felt that the text book(s) could be used more. I suspect that they do not see the value in using the texts as a reference and they therefore resent having to purchase the book and then not having homework problems assigned out of it. Reflection: The course seems to be well received by the students. I still feel that they learn
