Given multiple tries, hackers have readily available software that will allowthem to crack most passwords because humans, for recall purposes, like to use words that occurin human language dictionaries. “When an attacker gets hold of a legitimate username andpassword, he won’t need a lot of skills to ‘hack’ into the system.” (Password Hacking, 2009)1.4 University Computer System AuthenticationOne-factor authentication

Many of those involved in edu-cation were first introduced to rubrics in the 1970s and 80s as scoring tools to facilitate the directFALL 2017 1 ADVANCES IN

A small, butgrowing number of engineering colleges are offering general engineering degrees combined with K-12teaching certification.26 Very recent research is underway to actually assess which programs are effective for learning andstimulating interest to pursue STEM fields in college. It is intended to be the first step in evaluating theability of K-12 outreach programs to prepare students to study engineering in college30. This study wasconcerned with the association between types of engineering exposure (e.g., class, field trip, summercamp, etc.) and engineering self-efficacy.

As such, REUs remain popular options for biomedical engineering studentsseeking to bolster their curriculum vitae for admittance to graduate and medical school. REUs havebeen shown to influence the career decisions of participating students (i.e., influencing the student’sidentity) and also positively impact the acquisition of technical and communication skills (Lopatto,2007

Similarly, the operation ofmultiplication (denoted by an operation symbol x) is another mathematical operation that takesany two numbers (a and b) and produces a third number (c = a x b).Likewise, discrete convolution (denoted by an operation symbol *) is defined as a mathematicaloperation that takes any two digital signals or sequences (represented as {x[n]} and {h[n]}) andproduces a third digital signal or sequence ( {y[n]} = {x[n]} * {h[n] } ). Here, in general terms,any digital signal or sequence is represented by {s[n]}. It is a collection of sequentially indexedand ordered set of numbers, i.e., {s[n]} = {…, s[-1], s[0], s[1], s[2], ..., s[k], …} where s[k] is thevalue of the discrete signal or sequence at index “k”.

are female outreach programs in mechanical engineering necessary?The 17.8% percent of bachelor’s degrees in engineering awarded to women in 2009 was thelowest percentage in fifteen years and caps seven straight years of decline from a high of 20.9%in 20021. Mechanical engineering as a discipline draws even fewer women with a scant 11.4%of 2009 degrees awarded to women1. However, many engineering disciplines show significantfemale enrollment and graduation rates. The engineering disciplines with the highestpercentages of degrees granted to women include environmental engineering (44%), biomedicalengineering (37%), and chemical engineering (35%)1.

However, over the last several decades, the basic structures of how universities produceand disseminate knowledge and evaluate students have shifted in a new direction due to societalchanges created by technology—computers, internet, instant messaging, e-mail, Facebook, andtweeter.
