Engineering Education, 2008 Open Source Software to Support Student Teams: Challenges, Lessons, and OpportunitiesAbstractTeam projects have a long history in education, with an extensive literature. Appropriate toolsand procedures can support team projects, and open source software tools present specificopportunities and challenges. Open source software (OSS) generally refers to software that isdistributed without charge and with the original source code, so that anyone can fix defects, addenhancements, or otherwise modify the software and share their changes with others. Thus, OSScan be freely installed on any number of computers, and modified by faculty and students withappropriate knowledge, but it may include

Weare using the laboratory for two hands-on courses and four research projects, and have found thatthe flexible and reconfigurable concepts we have embedded into the design of the laboratoryhave already proven their worth. In this paper, we describe our efforts in developing this lab, thechallenges we face, specific goals and objectives, and specific outcomes we have alreadyobserved in the process of developing and utilizing this lab. The results presented in this paperwill be useful and interesting to groups seeking to develop curriculum and research programs inhigh performance computing and cyberinfrastructure.1.0 IntroductionThe department of Computer and Information Technology in

arearriving to school already familiar with communication technologies. A recent Pew Internet andAmerican Life Project study found that in 2004, 62% of the internet users between the ages ofeighteen and twenty-seven had used IM4. This number will only continue to rise as thetechnology becomes more and more popular.A trend towards the use of IM over face-to-face meetings is already taking place in the businessworld. In addition to personal use, 10% of the IM users in 2004 were business people5 and theRadicati Group predicted half the IM users to be business users by 20064. The use of IM in thebusiness world leads one to believe that students should be exposed to IM as a tool for groupcollaboration. However, inclusion of IM as a tool for group

Thestudents do not like having to do this activity but as IT professionals they must be able tocommunicate technical information in a non-technical way. By providing them with theexperience of writing lab reports they get some exposure of having to write technicalreports.

source tools also provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinkingskills. For example, in one class project, students analyze a particular security issue, define aspecific problem, survey the available tools, and select an appropriate security tool. The projectincludes both a conceptual problem/solution analysis and a hands-on class demonstration. Ineach of their courses, our students develop and utilize these skills in a structured project thatutilizes open source software and Live CDs.Future WorkFuture activities may include group projects with the goal of creating custom enterprise securitytoolkits. These toolkits will likely contain a diverse collection of Open Source Tools. Anothertype of group project would be for each

from it. There is no doubt that it is a great idea toteach a data mining course in computer science curriculum. As you can tell, students taking adata mining course need to have background in quite a few areas to be successful. Not everystudent taking this course may have the background required in all these areas. The question ishow can an instructor remedy the challenge of teaching a group of students with widely-rangingbackgrounds, and at what level should this course be taught. Furthermore, the issue of groupwork arises, specifically as to whether data mining course projects should be accomplishedindividually or as teams.Studies show that many universities are teaching data mining course(s) within their computersscience curriculum.

These programs did not behave the same way across different platforms and caused maintenance issues. • Students depended on broadband Internet connections to download source codes, RPMs and other files for the labs. The labs were hindered if the Internet connections were unstable or unavailable.2.

Specific topic areas like CIM, automated material handling, vulnerability of automated systems, and even robotics are used to introduce critical technological challenges that students will face in a real-world environment. 3. ISAT 433 – This is a project-based course and makes it easy to focus students’ attention in researching technological issues in specific industries. It requires regular technical presentations throughout the semester by student teams and a comprehensive project paper and presentation at the end of the term. Students thus learn
