Abstract for the conference program

The objective of this presentation is to show how the train emulation kit can be used to motivate IT students and provide them with an opportunity to have hands-on- experiences in IT courses. By attending this presentation, college IT/Computer Science professors may get detailed information on how to build the kit and on the various ways to utilize the kit in other courses, improving student engagement. This pilot class shows students that the subjects they have learned throughout the curriculum are interrelated and how their skills can be applied to accomplish a common goal. Therefore, it is believed that using the train emulation kit is beneficial for IT students taking courses such as System Development, Network, Operating System and Programming.
