This review presents an extended theoretical comparison…

This study establishes a method for determining whether learners have an understanding of data science. Data science requires knowledge in various fields, which makes many learners give up. To prevent learners from being discouraged, it is necessary to judge the comprehension of the principles in each specified skill. It is important to assess not only…

Zero Trust Architecture offers a transformative approach to network security by emphasizing ”never trust, always verify.” IoT devices, while increasingly integral to modern ecosystems, pose unique challenges for identity management and access control due to their constrained processing power, memory, and energy capabilities. In a Zero Trust framework, every IoT device is treated as a…

As models based in artificial intelligence increase in sophistication, there is a higher demand for the integration of hardware components to heighten real-world implementations. Both facial feature tracking and shape-from-focus are known techniques in computer vision. However, the combination of these two elements, particularly in a cost-effective configuration, has not been extensively explored. In this…

The rapid evolution of global technologies and industrial restructuring demands innovative pedagogical approaches to foster interdisciplinary engineering expertise.
