Page 1.505.3 ?@2&~ 1994 ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings ‘QJUJRJ The intended emphasis in this paper has been that of a trade-off. What has been presented isanother possible approach to the teaching of an introductory graduate numerical methods course. UsingCAS does not necessarily result in a globally better approach to teaching such a course, but it does offeradvantages in a number of areas over a more traditional approach.References [1] Robert Lopez and Mark Yoder, NSF Workshop: Revitalizing the Engineering, Mathematics and Science Curriculum via Symbolic Algebra, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, IN., July 10-15, 1995.

Harvesting using Raspberry PiAbstractDue to advances in digital technology, cyberattack grows faster than other crimes. According thecybersecurity statistics for 2020, Gartner forecasts the worldwide cybersecurity spending reachesup to $133.7 billion in 2022. As the growth of cyber threats, the practical cybersecurity educationis gaining its importance. Hands-on experience through the lab exercise becomes crucialcomponent because students tend to learn thing better when observing how practically it’s beenapplied in real system. The most common attacks are phishing and social engineering, whichmore than 60% of business experienced in 2018.
