As knowledgeable citizens, the role of ethical engineers and scientists involved inresearch can be envisaged as going beyond educating society passively and becoming anessential part of helping society establish a public policy regarding emerging technologiesthrough properly informing society of the facts. In order for these public policies to moveresearch and development past gridlocks of advancement based on prejudiced perception, theymust encompass middle ground solutions.Keywords: Ethics of emerging technologies, Societal impact, Bioethics, ethics engineering.Introduction To understand the need for ethics in emerging biomedical research it is imperative tounderstand

Emerging computer and communications technology will further enhancestorage, access, and display capabilities in the classroom.

In the past decade a university-level academic discipline, also somewhatambiguously called Information Technology (IT), has emerged. The academic discipline of ITfaces a number of challenges, including a shortage of educational academic resources; a recentlyemerged program definition; a very rapidly changing, complex technical discipline; instructionaldesigners with little training in instructional design; and an academic system that fails to

Jeff Kaitlin in 2017 reported that: The ISACA, a non-profit information security advocacy group, predicts there will be a global shortage of two million cyber security professionals by 2019. Every year in the U.S., 40,000 jobs for information security analysts go unfilled, and employers are struggling to fill 200,000 other cyber-security related roles, according to cyber security data tool CyberSeek.

Actionassertions are important as they define constraints that a business[5] should or mustoperate under. A business often has many operating constraints that will be implementedin various users’ application programs.

As we designed the course we wereconfronted with the problem of providing a cost-effective deployment experience for eachstudent. We did not have budget or space for multiple computers per student so we began toexplore virtualization as an alternative. We had been using VMware but found that we couldonly run 2-3 LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl) servers on our available hardwareand were thus still confronted with smaller but insurmountable budget, hardware, and
