Four of thefive RIRs have depleted their IPv4 address pools and are currently operating under final IPv4address depletion policies. At the time of writing, only the African Network Information Center(AFRINIC) has IPv4 address space remaining for general allocation and assignment. IPv4 is nowa legacy protocol and all future Internet growth will occur over IPv6.If an organization, such as a university, desires to maintain competitiveness, interoperability, andgrowth, that institution must become proactive in adopting IPv6.

3. The usefulness of quantitative problems (and particularly numerical worked examples which 79% found helped them learn, as noted previously) in understanding material is characteristic of engineering students in our experience. The importance of examples and applications of theory for engineering students was one of our guiding principles in writing the book to feature concrete applications and phenomena that arise from the scientific principles.Figure 2  Response of Engineering Leadership students on difficulty of problems based from draft text.  Page 26.1357.9 The "x" problems in the book help

no previous programpractice exists. In practice, colleges often look to their accrediting bodies, such as ABET forengineering programs, for guidance on curriculum, which requires external input fromemployers. Engineering programs ask their advisory board or council for input, and also rely ontheir internal panel of faculty experts, as well as exploring practice at peer university programs.Methodology-wise, industrial engineering faculty have used system theory[1], domain analysis[2]and structural models[3] as an aid in curriculum development. Likewise, methods from the qualitymanagement and product development domain, specifically the House of Quality (HOQ) andQuality Function Deployment (QFD), have also been deployed in this particular

This method trains students to tackle ill-defined, ill-structured problems as found inthe real world.4 Studies have shown that this learning method results in more positive students’attitudes, a deeper conceptual understanding and improved retention of knowledge.12 Thesuccess of problem-based learning depends to some extent on students’ self-efficacy and thedegree of collaboration among peers. In problem-based environments, learners practice higherorder cognitive skills (analysis, synthesis and evaluation), and constantly engage in reflectivethinking.34 Lape35 presented tiered scaffolding techniques to bridge the gaps in high-cognitive-load problem-based learning in thermodynamics.

Enz and Frosch come to a similarconclusion stating “Peer collaboration improves quiz scores, is favorably perceived by studentsand enhances their course satisfaction, but does not improve subsequent performance on midtermand final examinations taken noncollaboratively.”13 However, Roa, Collins, and DiCarlo find“completing the quizzes in groups enhances the understanding of the material.”14 Moreover,Leight et al. hypothesis that collaborative testing might improve students’ obtainment of lower-order learning outcomes (Bloom’s levels 1 and 2), but

We made this methodological decisionbecause our goal was to better understand students’ perceptions of what engineering is by theway they draw their response to the question.A typical activity to help the students understand their perceptions of the engineering disciplineis to ask them “What is engineering?” However, instructors have been frustrated by the lack ofdepth in students’ responses. We used a different approach to explore students’ perceptions ofthe engineering discipline by taking an arts-informed methodology; instead of writing down theirperceptions or talking with a peer, students are first asked to draw the response to the question“What is engineering?” Arts
