The explosive growth in embedded technology has not been accompanied by substantialeducational activities in the area of the security of embedded systems. This project is addressingrespective issues by developing a modular security curriculum, with modules accessible directlyover the Internet. To meet this objective, a set of dedicated online modules was designed tofocus on security of embedded systems. The stated objective of the project was to improve thequality of teaching security for embedded systems in computer science and software engineering.Eight web-based course modules were

Development of a robust and bug-free mobile phone application needscollaboration with people specialized in computer science. Staff and support infrastructure,including information technology capacity and support systems are enhanced through supportingenvironments. As the project moves forward, faculty are suggesting the following inquiry:Should we prepare students to be only users or both users and developers? How to handleappropriately the copyright related issues for the video clips and pictures in the gallery? How tocapture intellectual property related to innovative developments

The field of wireless sensor networks is growing rapidly and has captured theinterest of various sectors. The increasing popularity of WSN has motivated universities toprovide students with a foundation in the area. It is crucial that the emerging field of wirelesssensor networks be integrated into the computer science and engineering curriculums.

The Multiple-Lab-Driven Pedagogy with TCK IntegratedThere have been plenty of studies performed on lab-based curriculum. For instance, Abbas andLeseman [5] developed a laboratory-based curriculum on the theory, fabrication, andcharacterization of microelectromechanical systems, in which course assessment data is input bystudents from three semesters, based on which the effectiveness of the laboratory project isevaluated. Alexander and Smelser [6] proposed a distance laboratory teaching method thatcombined multi-media computer experiments, portable hands-on exercises, and place-boundlaboratory experiments.

The performance of their developed system was evaluated by running the system at four different elderly houses and recording the data and simultaneously performing the activity recognition in real time. The houses were equipped with the wireless sensor network with the fabricated sensor units attached to various house-hold appliances. Six electrical sensors are connected to appliances Microwave, Toaster, Water Kettle, Room Heater, TV and Audio. Four force sensors are connected to Bed, Couch, Dining chair and Toilet. One contact sensor is connected to grooming table
