Developing an Efficient Remote Lab Environment for Online IDS Courses1 Xin Tang, Kai Li Department of Technology Systems, East Carolina UniversityAbstract - In this project, a remote lab network environment was developed to support ouronline IDS (Intrusion Detection Systems) courses. We created the lab network with the criteriaof availability, flexibility, reliability, and economy in mind. The designed lab network is shownto be a reliable working environment, and has proven to be flexible for conducting variousindividual as well as collaborative IDS experiments.

assessment. Periodic assessment of company reports and individual journalsencourage the student to improve themselves.IntroductionThere are two issues concerning assessment that engineering educators should address: 1)usingassessment as a process to improve Engineering Technology (ET) programs, and 2)developingtechnical assessment skills in students. The first issue is current and relevant to TAC-ABETprogram criteria. The second issue is less visible, but student assessment skills can also berelated to TAC-ABET as well as industry criteria.Assessment can be applied to both processes and products. Education, for example, is a process.As educators, one of our jobs is to assure and improve the quality of that process. As engineers,we have tools to do

, ratherthe student attitudes and engagement levels were significantly impacted by assessment method.Stowell and Bennett [11] conducted a study that did indicate that online testing does increase testanxiety and thus induces a situation in which misconduct is deemed appropriate in the minds ofstudents enduring through this anxiety. We do see a gap in direct comparisons in a post-GenAIworld, especially in the context of first-year engineering courses where stakes are somewhathirer for students in comparison to some other higher-education programs.This body of literature provides a comprehensive foundation for examining the transition fromdigital to paper-based exams, particularly in the context of addressing academic dishonesty inhigher education.

experience navigating innovativeness,multi-disciplinary collaboration, and real-world problems [4].Many schools and programs are taking different approaches to expose students to creative,innovative, and entrepreneurial mindsets beginning with the first-year curriculum. For example,Sattele et al. [5] have worked to ensure entrepreneurial mind-set elements are incorporated intofirst-year engineering labs. Sattele et al. [5] analyzed existing labs to identify entrepreneurialminded learning elements (EMLs as defined by KEEN) and identified key areas where additionalEML objectives could be incorporated. These EMLs include elements of curiosity, connections,creating value, communication, character, and collaboration. Bringardener et. al [6], created

). It is very important for aneducator to make the students fully understand the problem before they have the chance to thinkof creative solutions while keeping in mind the importance of real-world application. By havingthe students understand the theory by means of application, the development of creative thinkingtakes place, transforming the students into better problem solvers (O'Brien and Abulencia, 2010). In a conventional classroom, lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application are practiced (Bloom et al., 1956). The instructor introduces atopic, shows its applications, and assigns practice problems to the students with the goal ofrepetitive solutions making them familiar with engineering concepts
