. To run theexperiments, virtualization technique is used in building a network in a single physical hostmachine. Multiple virtual machines are created for attacks generation and collection. In eachvirtual machine, a variety of network tools and services are implemented. The virtual machinesexecute the applications just as a normal physical machine would. All of the experimental attacksare confined inside the virtual network. For each attack category, one attack is demonstrated indetailed steps in the project. Furthermore, each student is asked to simulate one attack for eachcategory. The attack traffic traces are analyzed and their attack signatures are extracted. All ofthe analysis results are then used in the design of Snort rule of Snort

It has been revised twice to this juncture, once on the basis ofan alumni survey and once during the initial stages of developing course objectives. The Goalscomprise the set of educational objectives at the engineering curriculum level and will ultimatelyassure that Criterion 3 is met by all of the programs. The Goals are projected into the individualprograms through the associated Objectives. It is in the programs where the circumstances arisein which the achievement of a Goal is evident, which facilitates the projection.Therefore, the Objectives serve as Program Objectives as required by Criteria 2 and 8.

Eliciting customer requirements and feedback inengineering education is not new, as the literature indicates many such applications. (Forexample, see references6,7,8,9,10,11,12.) However this research effort extends the customer’scontribution by empirically modeling the relationships between the process measures and theoutcome measures, thus creating a feedback mechanism that may be used in process monitoringand improvement.In this paper we examine one portion of the larger project, that of creating a set of outcomemeasures for the program.

The rationale for this recommendation includes a ‘flattening of the engineeringhierarchy’ and the development of a ‘legitimized and equal pathway to engineering careers formany African Americans’ [8].Rebranding ET as applied engineering in an attempt to ‘elevate’ its position in the engineeringhierarchy does not address the systemic issues and racial inequities that contribute to the racialstratification of the engineering profession.

Second, the use of thecomputer equation solvers eliminates tedious and often error prone algebraic manipulation.Third, the test case scenarios suggested for verification of the “answer” force the student toconsider limiting, “known result”, solutions of the problem.
