elective courses in the areas ofinformation-communication technologies (ICTs). Such courses should benefit both MSEE andBS REE (Renewable Energy Engineering) programs. When the Covid pandemic occurred inMarch, we modified our plans for actions. First action was to examine the inherent correlationsbetween mobile ICTs and renewables, and second action was related to simulations. In thispaper, we’ll describe the lessons learned in the second endeavor, along with the softwareapplications. For example, 5G connectivity introduces enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)supporting high data rates and low latency, allowing large data flow instantaneously. Massivemachine type communication (mMTC) supports a large number of connected devices includingIoTs. Ultra

In this work-in-progress paper, we examine some emergent patterns found in thejoint activity systems of a STEAM summer program; especially we describe two emergent,distinct patterns of collaborative interaction which we label as “type 1” and “type 2,” oneof which we find to be more conducive to the kind of collaboration that can foster“relational just” interactions. Within diverse engineering classrooms, research suggests that creating andmaintaining equitable and productive joint activity can be a continual challenge forteachers as part of a larger complex and difficult process (Shah & Lewis, 2019). Withinthis study, we choose to view learning activity through a joint activity lens due to the factthat research suggests this

launched COVID-19 apps with a wide range in how these appswork. While it is hopeful that these apps can assist in the fight against COVID-19, people areworried about user privacy. China implemented “health code” systems, which assignedneighborhoods and citizens a specific health code meant to indicate their risk of having beenexposed to COVID-19. These health code systems were hosted on the popular apps WeChat andAlipay, each with billions of users. Some experts argued that China’s use of mobile applicationswas essential in its successful combat against COVID-19. In this study, a public survey and an expert interview guide were created after literatureand background research. The survey and interview guide were revised multiple times

curriculum developer,with several challenges. These challenges include defining the applied cryptographycourse with respect to course goals, scope, content, and organization. While there arewell-established cryptography courses offered in the Computer Science and Mathematicsdisciplines, these classes tend to focus on mathematical foundations rather than servicesand applications. Consequently, the developer of such courses finds that resourcesparticularly those relating to “hands-on” activities are lacking.For a lab module designer, creating modules that support an applied cryptography classpresents several unique challenges. For example, the choice of laboratory softwarepresents a unique challenge. This is especially true since most commercial
