, industrial espionage resultingin major financial losses, and many more malicious after effects. By using worms, viruses, Trojan horses, andvarious malicious tools, hackers have managed to make safe computing a more difficult task. This has resulted inintroducing the concepts of cybersecurity in the education of computer science, information technology, and relatedfields. Cyber defense concepts are being introduced in traditional engineering and technology programs. To this end,we have developed a course module on “Secure Programming” to effectively teach the best practices of securecoding in Fairleigh Dickinson University’s undergraduate engineering programming course. This paper presents thecontents of this module and our experiences in teaching it

By introducing sustainable design principles early in theiracademic career, students can apply these principles throughout the remainder of their higher-level courses. In a freshman introduction to design course, a more structured strategy to teachingsustainable design was implemented to incorporate sustainability principles early in the civilengineering curriculum. The purpose at this stage in student learning was to increase students’awareness of sustainable design through the introduction to sustainability concepts, such as thetriple bottom line, life-cycle assessment, and carbon footprint, through discussion of concrete asa construction material and case studies of

, World Development Indicators, 2012, covering the US data from 1949 to 2011. The results suggest that Fossil Fuel Price has a long term relationship with CO2, and Renewable energy consumption. In the short term, we found bidirectional causality between CO2 emission and Fossil Fuel prices. However, the presence of uni-directional causality seems to run from GDP as well as renewable energy to fossil fuel prices. Keywords: Renewable Energy, Johensen cointegration, Vector Error Correction Model, Granger Causality, USA1. Introduction Beginning from the industrial revolution in the 1800s, energy from fossilfuels, particularly oil, has been very important for economic growth, inmanufacturing and industrial sectors.

It was found that intensive short courses achieved the same results with a slight advantage. Materials were delivered as expected. Students performed better, and as a result grades were better. Both the instructor and the students liked this type of course delivery. Several factors contributed to this slight increase in efficiency. The study however showed that this type of offering courses might not be suitable for all courses. It might not fit all students either.Key Words: Course Duration, Intensive courses, Students’ Comprehension, Education
