Many large universities require freshman to live in dormitories on the basis that living on campus leads to better classroom performance and lower drop out incidence. Large universities also provide a number of academic services in dormitories such as tutoring and student organizations that encourage an environment condusive to learning. A survey was administered to college students at a large ...

The authors report on the effects of a university and community coalition in preventing problems related to college students' off-campus drinking. The Albany, New York, Committee on University and Community Relations used strategies based on an environmental-management approach that focuses on changing the environment in which individuals make decisions about alcohol consumption and related beh...

Campus supports the communication and co-operation between a distance teaching university and its students in an Internet environment. While students usually connect quite rarely to the Internet, they can continuously be represented in the Internet by their individual autonomous agents which can fulfil a variety of tasks for their owners. Campus is being implemented with the help of the Agent A...

In this research, we propose an architectural solution to implement the voice over IP (VoIP) service in campus environment network. Voice over IP (VoIP) technology has become a discussion issue for this time being. Today, the deployment of this technology on an organization truly can give a great financial benefit over traditional telephony. Therefore, this study is to analyze the VoIP Codec se...

Grid software often unfortunately requires significant changes in existing infrastructure, both in terms of policy and mechanism, instead of accommodating and leveraging existing information servers such as enterprise LDAP servers and enterprise authentication infrastructures. The University of Virginia Campus Grid (UVaCG) has been designed explicitly to re-use as much existing infrastructure i...

College and university campuses are being scrutinized more stringently in regard to the issue of campus safety. While media reports and advocacy groups may suggest to parents that college campuses are becoming more dangerous, research continues to demonstrate that colleges are a relatively safe environment. A problem exists that, although the Clery Act and the Minger Act in the Commonwealth of ...

Constant innovation and product evolution in the area of embedded systems necessitates educational institutions and other training providers to continuingly re-assess the content and delivery of engineering curricula. Increasingly web based distance education courses are on offer, augmented by the provision of remote experimentation laboratories, facilitating distant access to campus based phys...

Until very recently analyses and computations on a large scale were feasible only on supercomputers or clusters of high-end processors. Such computational infrastructure requires massive investments that can be unrealistic in a liberal arts college environment such as that found at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). However, TCNJ has several state-of-the-art campus computer labs for use by stude...

Tool integration in software development environments is a major problem, on onehand, for users of these environments, and on the other hand, for tool builders and suppliers. Inthis paper, we focus on persistent data integration, which is one of the two main points of toolintegration. The purpose of this work is to provide a formal data model that includes most of thesemantics o...

Virtual teaming involving online presentations and peer reviews support the notion of collaborative student learning, whilst preparing them for the virtual work environment. However, implementation and administration of such teams, particularly when constraints include large numbers of multi-cultural students, within a complex multi-campus structure, needs careful planning and management. This ...
