The single VM acted as the server or the target, on which the students set upintrusion detection systems such as Snort and Bro. The host computer acted as the client or theattacker, on which students ran Nmap to scan the virtual machine or ran Wireshark to sniff the Page 14.771.4traffic on the virtual network.

Perhaps such things as a clearly formulated hypothesis, astrong grounding in the related literature, a defined methodology, and a concern for validity andreliability come to mind as expectations within your field of practice. A minimum level ofscholarship is expected in the performance of research in all engineering disciplines. Anindividual undertaking serious research would not attempt to publish a technical manuscript in ajournal or present findings at a conference without meeting the rigorous expectations asestablished by the academic community.

Itdiscusses the potential of this software in this type of environment, in particular its attributes andits limitations, and focuses upon several key areas of concern: 1. The transition from generic, 2D CAD to 3D (Architectural Desktop) (herein ADT

Rather, they cited general interests in math, problemsolving, and creativity, as well as family influences, all factors that are challenging for theengineering education community to address.These findings demonstrate that relative to its ease of administration, a five minute survey canindeed help to anticipate student performance and retention. Its minimalism enables easyimplementation in an introductory engineering course, where it serves not only as a research tool,but also as a pedagogical aid to help students and teacher discover student perceptions aboutengineering and customize the curriculum appropriately.IntroductionStudent attrition within engineering programs has remained an issue for decades at

Approximately a third ofthe participants ranked this as a four, as they interpreted this question as if their personalknowledge or “ability was under scrutiny” and therefore would rise to the challenge and not backdown until they achieved their goal. The remainder ranked this question as a three and wouldback down periodically because they were concerned with being “identified as difficult or bossy”at work. It is not surprising that the seven highest ranked items are fundamental skills critical tobe successful in engineering: trying hard enough, confidence in unexpected events,resourcefulness in handling unforeseen situations, ability to solve problems, utilizing

We now discuss the five steps named above.Developing the problem statement requires a clear understanding of the problem or the goal. Forinstance, the goal can be to design a space shuttle that can carry humans to Mars, or it can bedesigning the layout for a new hospital.

climates felt and perceived byhistorically oppressed communities [4], [5], and the different cultures [3]. There has beenscholarship on examining such dynamics from the undergraduate student perspective [4],however further expansion of such literature is needed as overall research on this topic is scarce.In addition, as far we are concerned, exploring how the student-instructor interaction anddynamics in the classroom from the humanizing and dehumanizing perspectives is notsubstantially documented in engineering education research. Thus, our study began to addressthis by answering the research question: What are some of the humanizing and dehumanizingpower dynamics between students and instructors that undergraduate engineering studentsperceive
