Suchelectronic records are now considered equivalent to paper-based records, when it comes to patentfiling as well as other legal and technical issues. Advantages of ELNs include the ability tosearch electronically; electronic linkage and storage of potentially large data files (includingnewer types of electronic files, such as video); and increased accessibility and collaborativefunctions. A number of different software solutions are available, usually grouped by technicalfield and potential application of the work. Using the course management system (CMS)platform

Hence, an undergraduatecourse should incorporate applied laboratory implementation applications. As such, educators areresponsible for ensuring that students acquire a strong sense of learning motivation and scientificinquiry skills [12]. School laboratories are a crucial part of any STEM education. They enhancestudents’ engagement in a variety of experimental learning skills, such as conception andexperimentation followed by reflection, analysis, and data interpretation.

However withthe rise of information technology professions such as cyber security, there have been many challenges in terms of preparing thecyber security workforce. Security education programs have found it difficult to keep up with the fast changing securitylandscape [1–3]. Security threats evolve over time and tend to change very rapidly. A threat that is prevalent today might not beprevalent tomorrow. Many educators find it difficult to keep their curriculum updated to keep pace with the changes [2].Outdated security programs discussing obsolete topics

Plagiarism—looselydefined as the use of another’s words without quotation marks or proper attribution or, worse yet,falsified attribution—is certainly not a new problem. The Internet has proven to be an almostirresistible temptress, luring those under stress and pressure to simply cut and paste, collecting,rather than creating, text. “Plagiarism has never been easier than it is today,” declare the sages atPlagiarism.org, a website established by the developers of the plagiarism detection softwarecalled Turnitin, to aid both instructors and students.6According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), plagiarism is agrowing problem, with

Han Hu Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701AbstractTo ensure students are capable and ready-to-engineer immediately upon graduation, mechanicalengineering programs must teach students how to account for manufacturing considerations indesign. Despite this, basic manufacturing knowledge is a hard skill consistently ranked as one ofthe greatest weaknesses of new mechanical engineering hires in surveys of industrial employersand project managers over the last few decades. Without radically changing curriculum toinclude more emphasis on design-build projects, one solution university departments couldimplement to combat this vulnerability is to incubate a lab course in which undergraduates
