the authenticity of the VM templates and how do we protect VM templates from beingmanipulated? If cryptophytic approach is applied, how long will it take to authenticate VMtemplates? This article studied related work and proposed a cryptography based solution toauthenticate VM templates. Real virtual machine templates of different sizes were used tomeasure the performance of different approaches. The results show that a PKI-like strongauthentication approach is not unacceptable to be used in real cloud computing environment.This study is derived from a security course project. Students learned the basics of cryptographyand began to apply their knowledge in a real world setting. The study provides insights andbenefits for both the cloud

to the undergraduates.Since the mid-1990’s the NAU Engineering programs offer the “Design4Practice,” or “D4P,”curriculum, a series of innovative undergraduate classes which involve team-oriented learningclasses for the students in each of their freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. The D4Pcourses engaged students to learn by actively using engineering education tools that address theissues of realizing a design: problem solving, project management, and teaming.The D4P program provided courses that emphasized team-oriented design and project management.

this need was amajor outcome of the recent “Engineering Design and Practices Roundtable: Working Togetherto Advance Pre K-12 Engineering Design” convened by the Museum of Science in Boston inJanuary 2015. Without a shared understanding of what engineering design practices (orcomputational thinking in this case) look like in pre-college settings, researchers and curriculumdevelopers will result in numerous inconsistencies across the broad spectrum of implementation.The project reported in this paper aims to integrate computational thinking into an existingintegrated STEM curriculum. In order to develop computational thinking supplementsappropriate for young children, the team analyzed the existing curriculum and videotapedobservations of
engineeringexperience. This paper discusses how the Robotic Mining Competition is used to providestudents with a multidisciplinary, systems engineering learning experience. Specifically, itpresents the general design process used by the University of North Dakota Robotic MiningCompetition Team. The paper also contains a discussion of how the team evolved from year toyear based on their successes and failures.IntroductionAs engineers develop more complex systems there is a need for every engineer to have at least abasic understanding of systems engineering.

In this paper, we consider the degree to which ethics are integrated into engineeringcourses. To this end, we examine the popular use of the medical metaphor of “dosage” in relationto ethics in the engineering classroom. We identify this usage pattern and use thematic analysisto consider its implications in engineering education literature. Taking medical metaphorsseriously can sensitize us to certain troubles related to the limited integration of ethics intoengineering classrooms. This has implications for projects related to education research andengineering education reform. Focusing on what we expect ethics education to do can help us
