This helps the students learn how requirements, especially non-functional quality requirements, drive architecture design decisions.In a recent Twin Peaks workshop3, participants found that “a major shortcoming was identifiedin that requirements and architectures are often taught independently and in a fashion thatresembles a waterfall process.” Our merged requirements and architecture course addresses thisshortcoming.Another driver of change impacting the merged requirements and architecture course was tomake this course a “writing intensive” course in support of the general education requirements atour university. Given the document and model-centric nature of the course, the requirements andarchitecture course was a natural

The teaching load is either 3 or 4 courses per year.Theoretically, research activities account for only 50 percent of the faculty’s membertime, but in reality, research oriented activities can consume much more of your time.The research side of academia can be divided into two major sections, research incomeand publications.A significant portion of a faculty member’s job can be spent on locating funding forhis/her research program.

Discussions about the leadership qualitiesnecessary for successful women indicate that the ability to take risks is key (Mills,undated, Howell, 1993, Based on Brown University website). Moreover, they oftenperceive their abilities in science, engineering and mathematics to be less that those oftheir male peers. They, as well as other students who do not typically pursue science,engineering or mathematics, would benefit from increasing exposure to more real-lifelearning

Many challenges occur in teachingcomputing and computer tools in first-year engineering education courses. Students’ preparationand prior experience vary significantly. Students demonstrate difficulty learning the concepts incomputing and applying those concepts to writing code in a specific language [2][3].

The web serverprovides a scoring engine to students and teachers. Students that are able to compromisevulnerable machines can submit flags obtained for points on this engine. This naturally creates aleaderboard where teachers can gauge the progress of students. Students are provided withfeedback on their progress and a means of comparison with peers. To facilitate this, the CSRLteam used a free scoreboard engine that was previously used as a hacking CTF (Capture TheFlag) scoreboard.This web server can also be used by students to submit write-ups of their solutions that
