The Zabbix tool is an enterprise class,open-source monitoring tool that can monitor the status of network services, servers andhardware. The information gathered by Zabbix in CSCDP was displayed on a central VIPdashboard server [3].Closely related to SCGs are the educational cybersecurity laboratory environments.

Research indicates that the transitionfrom middle school to high school is a critical time when girls often lose interest in math andscience. They view these career fields as boring, not relevant to their lives, and Caucasian male-dominated―thus they do not pursue them. WIT has worked with Native Hawaiian culturaladvisors and Kupuna (native teachers) in conjunction to the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory(which has oversight of the Maui astronomical assets) to address the dual barriers of gender andethnicity facing Native Hawaiian girls by exposing them at this pivotal point in their lives totechnology in the context

Recently, this method has been appliedto a diversity of topics in science and engineering education including establishing biotechnologycompetencies for K-12 students8, developing concept inventories in statics9 andthermodynamics10, and identifying core laboratory skills in the biomedical sciences11. Thestrength of this approach is that it capitalizes on the merits of group problem solving whileminimizing its limitations, for example, group conformity inherent to round-table discussions12

The second involved the action-reaction moments involved withgyroscopic motion (e.g., if you are riding your bike and lean to the left, which way to do youhave to push on your handlebars).
