and the required workforce. Especially in engineeringfields, the synergy between theoretical and laboratory components needs to be rethought with thepossibilities of inter-disciplinary flavors. There is also a demand from the industries, for moreexperiential learning focused courses.Digital transformation is happening in many sectors leading to transformations in the workforce[4]. The transformed workforce now needs to be aware of digital tools and possible risk factorswhile using them. Moreover, more digital devices and workflows have unfortunately resulted intechnological drawbacks, and cyber-attacks [5, 6]. The actual number of cyber-attacks may belarger as many industries do not report attacks or may successfully deal with them. The

classroom in general.The participants in this study indicated that it is important to them that teaching strategiespromote collaboration and discussion in class. Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Related to this,participants suggested that the frequency of field activities should be

solution is a new cloud service known as HPC-as-a-Service.In this paper, we present an HPCaaS platform called ASETS which uses Software DefinedNetworking (SDN) technologies to smooth the execution of parallel tasks in the cloud. Further,we provide application examples that could be used in a typical introductory parallel programingcourse. We argue that HPCaaS platform like ASETS can significantly benefit the users of HPCin the cloud as if their program is running on a dedicated hardware in their own laboratory. Thisis especially advantageous for students and educators who need not to deal with the underlyingcomplexities of the cloud.1.
