Freshmen BME majors at Johns Hopkinsface additional decisions including which laboratory to work in and which focus area withinBME to pursue. Each student at Johns Hopkins must choose a focus area by the end of theirsophomore year, such as cell and tissue engineering, systems biology, imaging, instrumentation,or computational biology.

MCU, for theIntroduction to Microprocessors, and the use of a plain, solderless breadboard instead of anavailable demonstration board.An Introduction to Microprocessors course must include the topics of register set and instructionset architecture, machine level programming and interfaces to the physical world. Taught at thecommunity college level, the topics need to be understandable and relevant. The topics also mustbe general enough to apply to what ever processor or system may be in vogue at the students’chosen upper division school. There is no single correct choice. There is also no wrong choice.This paper discusses the selection of a processor and the rationale for using a solderlessbreadboard rather than a more sophisticated

IntroductionDue to the continuing decreases in the prices of commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) computerhardware (PC-class processors and Fast and Gigabit Ethernet switches), and the development offree parallel computer systems software (Linux operating system and MPI software that allowsprocessors to share data with each other via message passing), it has become possible to build apersonal MPP for a relatively modest cost. An example is the Beowulf-class PC cluster1. ABeowulf-class PC cluster consists of one or more front-end workstations, one or more nodeworkstations, and a switch that serves

security breaches were achieved by simple unsophisticated users whohappen to have much more privilege rights that they needed. (Dickerson,2004 36) TO avoidsuch problems, IT must have clearly defined guidelines and policies, which is applied to allemployees regardless of their job titles. These guidelines will be followed by the IT staff that isultimately responsible for any breach of security. According to Security Director Reportpublication, the IT or Information Security of an organization should conduct a comprehensiveaudit of how employees interact with security.

With the large variety of Windows-based dataacquisition and control software available, DDE plays a vital role in the integration of today’s automatedmanufacturing systems. As educators of students that will be entering the complex world of automatedmanufacturing, it is important to introduce the concepts of DDE and to teach how DDE can be used as anintegration tool.

circuits will serve as framework for future lab-based online courses. In this paper, our summer 2010 course implementation is thoroughly described. Problemswith technology and pedagogy used in the summer 2010 implementation of online electricalcircuits are examined and possible solutions are presented. These findings, along with previousstudies in online education, were used to develop a pedagogical framework for an online lab-based course. Plans for the summer 2011 online course and proposed pedagogical frameworkwill be introduced. 2.
