clear that being able to quickly retrieve, filter, organize, record, recite, and (correctly/accurately) utilize this huge amount of information has become a critical skill for all engineering educators. This will continue to require increasing skills with modern information technology, as well as a mindset attuned to these new ways of doing things.5. Simulation and Virtual Reality versus Actual Reality: Computer-based simulation, computational and graphical, has replaced portions of what used to be hands-on physical experiment-based activities, both in the practice and education of engineering.

From my own research and experience as a physicsinstructor for the last 10 years, I have noticed that students who are enrolled in introductorycalculus-based physics courses fall under two distinct categories. (a) Some of them, even thoughthey completed the prerequisite calculus course, do not have a clear conceptual understanding ofcalculus, and (b) the majority of students have adequate knowledge of calculus concepts albeit inan abstract way: They have little or no training in how to apply this knowledge in physicsproblems.

Though the currentcourses are not as complex as the proposed Intrusion Detection System course, research showsthat the lab automation software would be an asset for such a use case. Our research indicatesthat a student could utilize the environment at the start of class without any setup effort required.The proposed setup would put four multipurpose operating systems and two virtual appliances into the hands of IDS students; providing a far richer learning experience, an experience we expectwould more closely resemble what would be found in a non-academic environment.Bibliography1.

In our experience, studentsbenefit from developing these ties. By providing examinations in a “story” format, anexamination’s problems were placed within a context. That is to say that students could relate thetheoretical problem solution with the scenario in which the problem was presented.Engineering students are often visual learners and problem solvers. These learners prefer andintellectually respond to problems that they can visualize. Story problems let them perform thisvisualization.

It is established that the schoolteachers who have anappreciation for engineering and technology will convey that appreciation to their students, which,in turn will attract more students to choose careers in scientific and engineering disciplines.
