“…But regardless of the created conditions, it is our opinion that the issue of developing students' competencies in engineering invention and scientific and engineering creativity is not completely resolved, and there is yet no integral system or model that would promptly respond to the challenges of time, provide students with anticipatory training that would account for the latest developments in engineering and technology, and create the conditions for the implementation of such system to ensure continuous and incremental development of the competencies of engineering invention and scientific and engineering creativity in engineering university Bachelors [6][7][8][9].…”

“…One of the key factors in training future engineers is development of their ability for engineering invention and scientific and engineering creativity [5,6,9]. Modern engineering education system should flexibly respond to the ever increasing demand from the industry for highly skilled personnel capable of performing their duties on a brand new level.…”

“…Engineering education is one of the key components of successfully transitioning our country's economy to a whole new level, from raw materials economy to that of high technologies [2,3]. Modern tertiary education should be organized in a way that will allow to produce engineers with highly developed professional competencies, who will be able to comprehensively solve the cutting-edge issues in their industry [4][5][6][7][8]. The traditional approach to engineering education is generally oriented at training engineers in a system of reproductive accumulation of knowledge, which is aimed at operating some specific equipment.…”

“…RFID deployments tend to use (free to air) unlicensed frequencies for their obvious cost benefits. There are 5 technologies of RFID available in market that are i) 125 kHz (LF-Low Frequency), ii) 134.2 kHz (LF-Low Frequency), iii) 13.56 MHz (HF-High Frequency), iv) 2.45GHz (Microwave Frequency), and v) 5.8 GHz (Microwave Frequency) [7]. RFID, barcode, and smart card are some of the technologies that are commonly used for identification.…”

Currently RFID authentication systems rely only on matching tag ID with the one kept in database. Additionally, an alphanumerical password might be matched as extra security. However, tag ID and information inside can be compromised. Therefore, a more secure scheme is required in order to enhance safety of access control through RFID tags in particularly highly secure environments such as secure virtual meetings or authentication and access control to access high security locals. We wish to present attendance control system which is more like access control in general as an application of our novel security enhancement on RFID based access control systems. The security enhancement utilizes partial ParseKey+ multi-way authentication scheme. ParseKey+ scatters randomly divided sub-keys into uniformly distributed noise. Generated file is encrypted using AES256 and then it is written into RFID device. Each successful login changes the key and its trace kept in DB in addition to updating the device for future login.

“…More specifically, recent efforts focus on making buildings "smarter" by adaptively controlling power consumption in areas such as lighting [92], electric heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) [93], [94] and information infrastructure [95] within buildings. Building smart offices [96], smart hospitals [97], [98] and smart universities [99], [100] is an emerging trend that encompasses Weiser's ubiquitous/pervasive computing concept [101] through the seamless integration of technologies [100]. Finally, the combined operation of community's MGs with other supported communications networks can also significantly improve the economic performance of MGs [102]- [107].…”

This paper thoroughly considers the potential of installing microgrids (MGs) in communities that suffer from the economic crisis in order to financially stimulate their local economies. Exploiting the state-of-the-art evolutions in the fields of the MG technology, the Hybrid Techno-Economic (HTE) model is proposed as a suitable techno-economic tool for assessing the power generation/consumption behaviour and the financial performance of these communities' MGs. The contribution of this paper is four-fold. First, the HTE model is presented. HTE model describes a theoretical analysis that is suitable for studying community's MGs. Appropriately concatenating one well-validated technical module and one new economic module, the HTE model quickly and conveniently reveals the power generation/consumption and economic profile of community's MGs. Second, HTE model is integrated through an extended portfolio of power and financial metrics. The applied metrics study the influence of generation and consumption power changes on community's MGs. The validity and the efficiency of the HTE model are examined with respect to these power changes while the impact of these changes on the power and cash flows of community's MGs are assessed. Third, a cost-benefit analysis of the operation of community's MGs accompanied with a financial stability analysis is also demonstrated. The main outcome of these analyses is the daily total benefit (TB) of community's MGs with its respective financial bounds. Fourth, the contribution of the energy arbitrage and the power production mix among available power sources of community's MGs to the daily TB is investigated. Apart from promoting the ecological awareness, this paper tries to become a catching argument for the communities in order to exploit the community's MGs. 132communities around the world. While the severity of these problems varies from one community to another, new policies have to be adopted as well as new tools and mechanisms have to be invented, restructured, and overhauled [1]- [4]. In a regional basis, the consequences of the financial and economic crisis mainly affects four sectors of community's economy [1], [5], [6]: (i) Revenues: The revenues of the communities, which are either generated by local taxation or derived from state transfers, have undergone dramatic declines; (ii) Expenditures: The communities suffering from the crisis show high unemployment and significant slowdown of their local economic activities. Hence, additional funding is required so that the general social welfare status is maintained; (iii) Bank financing: Apart from the states, the crisis critically affects the banking institutions as well as their cash liquidity. Hence, the cost of money increases while the communities face serious difficulties in contracting loans in order to satisfy their current budget needs and projections; (iv) Investments: The crisis environment discourages either foreign or local investors. This implies that various projects, which could create extra financial fluidity in loca...
