The Development of Sustainable Engineering with PjBL during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Sustainable Engineering education must provide cyber-physical and distributed systems competencies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The COVID-19 pandemic caused profound impacts arising from a traditional on-site teaching model rupture and demanded distance learning for engineering students. In this context, we considered the following Research Questions (RQ): How can Project Based Learning (PjBL) be applied in hardware and software courses from the Engineering curriculum to foster practical activities during the COVID-19 pandemic? Is the student performance in the fully remote offering comparable to the face-to-face offering? (RQ1); Which Sustainable Development Goals are related to the Engineering students' project themes? (RQ2).

A TDD Framework for Automated Monitoring in Internet of Things with Machine Learning.

Robust, fault tolerant, and available systems are fundamental for the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) in critical domains, such as finance, health, and safety. The IoT infrastructure is often used to collect a large amount of data to meet the business demands of Smart Cities, Industry 4.0, and Smart Home, but there is a opportunity to use these data to intrinsically monitor an IoT system in an autonomous way.

Hands-Free Authentication for Virtual Assistants with Trusted IoT Device and Machine Learning.

Virtual assistants, deployed on smartphone and smart speaker devices, enable hands-free financial transactions by voice commands. Even though these voice transactions are frictionless for end users, they are susceptible to typical attacks to authentication protocols (e.g.
