Secondly, through global, mobile, broadbandcommunications, IT has increased the scope and scale of knowledge management,data acquisition and communication almost beyond the imagination. Lastly, throughdistance learning, IT is directly influencing how teachers teach, how students learn,and how well teachers can assess that learning.Through an ever growing number of commercial and open source softwarepackages, IT provides calculation tools for solving textbook problems, and formodeling and simulation.

The scope of quantum threats extends beyond traditional software,operating system, and network vulnerabilities, necessitating a shift in cybersecurity education.Traditional cybersecurity education, often reliant on didactic methods, lacks hands-on, student-centered learning experiences necessary to prepare students for these evolving challenges. Thereis an urgent need for curricula that address both classical and quantum security threats throughexperiential learning. In this work, we present the design and evaluation of EE-597: Introductionto Hardware Security, a graduate-level course integrating hands-on quantum security learning

Once an exotic field of computer sciences, it is now an important topic for theengineers of tomorrow.” 2 Now that virtual reality is more accessible to the public, theopportunity is present for education systems to revolutionize the way students learn. A team offive engineering undergraduate students at Oral Roberts University is continuing thedevelopment of a virtual reality flight motion simulator that will be used in an aircraft designclass and will be housed in the virtual reality educational building on campus.This project combines a Stewart platform, virtual reality and flight simulator software.

INTRODUCTIONThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 fundamentally disrupted educational systems worldwide,forcing a sudden shift from in-person to remote learning. For engineering disciplines likeembedded systems, which rely heavily on hands-on laboratory work and real-time hardware-software integration, this transition posed unique and significant challenges.

The CUTE labs cover four major areas: the platform exploration labs, the big data labs, the cloud economics labs, and the security and privacy labs. They are designed to use publicly available free cloud resources and open source software with no spe- cial requirement on computing infrastructures, so that they can be easily adopted and adapted at low cost. Currently, we have developed thirteen labs, among which eleven have been deployed during 2009-2015 and six have been evaluated during 2014-2015. The preliminary results show that these
