programs access the educational classroom using internetbased learning management systems (LMS). LMS products such as e-College and BlackboardLearn provide a rich toolset for instructor’s use in the virtual classrooms which have become acommon part of the distance learning experience. This paper analyzes a survey of ComputerScience faculties from multiple academic institutions who were asked to provide details on thelaboratory environment used in Computer Science courses. Analysis of the respondent’sanswers provides insight into the relationship between departmental responsibility for coursecontent and the management services rendered by the institutions’ Information Technologydepartments. The survey, also, includes information on how the

The issue was thepractice of the “Deadlift” weight exercise, where a barbell weight of up to 400lb (1780N) islifted from the floor to approximately thigh-height, and then often allowed to fall directly back tothe floor. The impact of the weight on the floor generated a large “booming” noise

They traveled to the studio, booked living arrangements, hauled theirmusical gear, and worked under a specified time schedule allotted to them. They paid a soundengineer for their time so that at the end of that specified time, they would have a physical copyof a master recording. This would then get replicated onto the recording media of the day so thatit could be shipped to merchandising locations for sale to consumers. Those physical copiesfinally allowed consumers to listen to the musicians at their leisure, assuming they had thephysical means for playback.Computer programs and the internet have

She earned her B.S. in chemical engineering from Cornell University, and her M.S. and Ph.D., also in chemical engineering, from the University of Virginia. Her primary research focus is on engineering pedagogy at the undergraduate level. She is particularly interested in the
student population and the elective nature ofthe class. First, the class is attended by students ranging from Sophomores to Seniors, from boththe Industrial Distribution and Electrical Engineering Technology programs. This constraint Page 13.70.2made it infeasible to copy an existing course; most courses on medical devices are offered inbiomedical engineering departments to students who can be expected to exhibit interest both inthe use of the devices and in any underlying engineering factors. In comparison, this class muststrive to add value to a mix of students including those who are uninterested in the engineeringdetails but interested in where

] and panels [5-6].Friedman [1] discusses how globalization has profoundly impacted engineering by leveragingtechnological advancements like the Internet and workflow software to enhance communicationand collaboration. This has led to more integrated global supply chains, with engineering tasksoften outsourced to countries with specialized skills, making the profession more interconnected.Engineers are encouraged to continuously innovate and adapt to new technologies andmethodologies to remain competitive. Additionally, collaboration tools have become crucial formodern engineering projects, which frequently involve teams spread across different countries.Friedman [1] also discusses how engineers support globalization by developing

undergraduate education. The utilization of Massive Open OnlineCourses (MOOCs) in undergraduate education is increasing in popularity due to their accessibility,user-friendly format, and their ability to prepare students with the specific skills and knowledge to entertheir desired field. In 2024, NASA plans to land the next man and the first woman on the Moon throughthe Artemis program. Preparing for this mission requires astrodynamics and trajectory design knowledgethat is beyond the scope of most undergraduate, and even graduate, education. It is critical that theengineers working on this mission overcome this knowledge gap to ensure a successful mission. Our teamhas created a MOOC entitled Teaching the Moonshot to help bridge this gap for
, Firefox, and Apache.Because the objectives are curriculum dependent, it would be helpful to review thecurriculum within which our cryptography course evolved.Our Applied Cryptography ClassOur College is a small college within a large university. In addition to other goals, ourapplied security program is designed to prepare students to provide enterprise securityassessment and evaluation. Expected job titles for our graduates include securityinvestigator, manager, and auditor.The scope of the applied cryptography class includes cryptographic services required tosecurely store and transmit confidential information. It also includes relatedcryptographic services such as those that provide integrity, authentication, andnonrepudiation. Specific topic

Then the data was analyzedfor the degree, betweenness, and closeness, in a networking software program. After completion,the statistical analyses will compare the two genders to find differences. The objective is todiscover if men and women in engineering differ, and ,if so, how? This will be answered bydetermining if the graphs are scale-free or random, if one gender network has more links than theother, or if they are the same. Finally, it will determine if the networks
the course is also available for other majors. Othermajors (particularly those from programs in Science, Computer Science and Business) take thiscourse because many students work in the high-technology dominated industries in the centralTexas region. Consequently, the non-technology/engineering employee also has to deal withissues from the realm of computer aided engineering; at least in a tangential manner as theyinteract with their technical counterparts in a multidisciplinary team oriented work place.

as this practice essentially allows weaker students to raise theirgrades just by showing up for class; however, in the context of the other results, we suspect theymay resent having to show up for class more than they appreciate the grade subsidy.)Perhaps the most interesting (though not surprising) result is that the lower GPA respondentswould be much more likely to hire a job applicant with “a below average GPA who had beeninvolved in many university extracurricular activities than someone who had an above averageGPA who had not been very involved in such activities.” One possible interpretation of this isthat the lower GPA group attaches greater significance to the job application enhancing effects ofextracurricular participation over
Interactive Learning Tools for Undergraduate Thermodynamics Ella Fridman, Susan Shelangoskie University of ToledoIntroductionIn the age of the Internet, technology permeates education; never before has so muchinformation been available so quickly to so many. This phase of the informationrevolution has prompted unprecedented numbers of new on-line courses and coursematerials, and the content available increases in sophistication at the impressive rate ofhardware and software evolution. The potential in all of this technology is clear, but, aseducational theory has shown, technology and its products are most effective in educationwhen guided by sound pedagogical

to build a networkwith multiple virtual machines2,3. Within a single physical host machine, multiple virtualmachines are created and operated simultaneously. In each virtual machine, applications andservices are implemented and the virtual machine executes the code just as a physical machinewould. This approach eases the load of network administration as mistakes can be easily fixedwhile the network stays up and running. When a network change is required to conduct desiredcyber attack experiments, it can be easily reconfigured in a virtual environment.The focus of this research is to improve the academic environment for intrusion detectioncourses by utilizing powerful virtualized environments (VEs). Attention will be focused on theconcept of
data transmittedby the courseware application, the network communications protocol implementation, and theamount of interaction the students and instructor attempt to have during typical classroomsessions.A number of different classroom courseware tools are available on the market these days. Manyof them endeavor to support rich real-time classroom interaction by sending data back and forth Page 15.387.2between student and faculty machines.
