sanctioned operating systems are released.Once the nuances of each operating system are understood and directions for installation andrunning the programs have been modified appropriately, a majority of the remaining issues arecom port errors. However, there is a reasonable percentage where the source(s) of the error havenot been identified, but appear to be related to specific computer and operating systemcombinations. The error(s) are not resolved when we have tried installing more recent versionsof OrCAD PSpice on these computers. Given that our student population in the courses that useLab-in-a-Box ranges is roughly 550 students per semester, this presents significant demand fortechnical support at the beginning of each semester.

span continents[4].The management of SCADA systems was consolidated using personal computers to monitorprocesses by making requests for information from embedded devices commonly known asprogrammable logic controllers (PLCs). However, as SCADA systems began to integrate withpersonal computers, they were exposed to outside volatile networks, bypassing the common“security by obscurity” philosophy [5, 6].Several instances occurred in the early 2000’s that raised concern about the security of SCADA Page 25.877.2environments[7].

dramatically. In the days of manual testing, data acquisition rates were measured inbytes/s. Subsequent processing was equally manual so the cost was determined bywages and error rates were high. Now, data collection at MByte/s rates is routine andautomated while a system with the functionality shown in figure 2 can be realized for lessthan $10. The whole system can be procured as a turnkey product so it becomes anextended tool for the non-electronics professional running the application. Specialistintervention is needed less often but the counterbalance is that systems are rapidlyincreasing in complexity so there are more varieties of interaction and novel problems.From an educational viewpoint, this means more emphasis on critical thinking
