for Engineering Education, 2012 Work In Progress: Creating an Intrusion Detection Experimental Environment Using Cloud-Based Virtualization TechnologyAbstractThis paper discusses the latest capabilities of lab automation software and how such softwarecould enhance the learning environment for an Intrusion Detection class. A lab automationsystem with virtual networking would enable a more realistic environment akin to the real world.Our design utilizes VMware software such as ESXi server, Virtual Center and Lab Manager toprovide a robust virtual environment. The experimental results suggest an improved classroomenvironment for learning Intrusion Detection Systems and related software; in addition, theclassroom environment

As kind of expected they were very positivewith the outcome and obtained an enhanced understanding of data exploration, feature selectionand classification algorithms, even model comparison and assessment which they attributed totheir early exposure to python as well as the reinforcement of the usage of vectors, matrices andMatlab functions for statistical applications.In conclusion, it can be stated that with proper guidance, monitoring, and diligent care,engineering technology students can be exposed earlier to manipulating tabular data usingpython’s pandas, data visualization using matplotlib, supervised learning using linear

Streaming media tutorials, Flash animations, Java baseddemonstrations, and example questions and problems are among the many applicationsthat have been developed to augment both the remote and the local experience. Themajority of these applications are designed to be used outside of the “classroom” toexpand the students understanding of the material. Remote labs, which use networkconnectivity to provide access to oscilloscopes, virtual circuits and other analysisequipment, allow for the delivery of fundamental electrical engineering courses.3The communication requirements inherent in the teacher-student relationship are anotherobstacle that must be overcome in a remote learning environment.

The topic of acoustic levitation/ positioning was selected as one where a relativelyharmless experiment could be designed, with a passing knowledge of acoustics and fluidmechanics. Acoustic positioning deals with moving one or a few particles to the stable points ina resonant sound field; we decided to see if this idea could be extended to form entire surfaces.The proposal was written by the student team, of whom 2 were Co-ops at Delta Air Lines, andone a Co-op at NASA Langley, and e-mailed for editing to the advisor.

The concept of Digital Literacy was introduced by PaulGilster in 1997 [11]. He describes Digital Literacy as “the ability to understand and useinformation in multiple formats from a wide variety of sources when it is presented viacomputers”. Gilbert wrote his book in a time in which understanding digital literacy was to havethe “technical skills” to use a computer and browse the Internet. Nowadays, it can be extrapolatedto a broader framework [12] that not only combines technical skills but also competencies, suchas problem-solving and design thinking, to interact
