-12 teachers. Teachers took pre-and post- concept inventories to assess their learning of content throughout the workshop and theresults indicated improvement of 58%. These assessments focused on vulnerabilities and specifictypes of attacks, system security, data transmission and encryption, permutations andcombinatorics, and binary numbers.1. IntroductionThere is an exponential growth in the number of cyber-attack incidents in the recent yearsresulting in significant financial loss and national security concerns. Secure cyberspace has beendesignated as one of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges inengineering. Broadly, the security threats are targeted on software programs, operating systemand network with the intention

persistence in the discipline [1], increasingstudent interest in graduate school [2], and developing a student’s identity as a researcher [1].The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is a large supporter of such experiences through itsResearch Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site and Supplements Program. Almost 150REU Site Programs are currently funded in Engineering.Most REU Sites are based at a single institution. This traditional model for REU Sites typicallyinvolves 8-12 participants per summer, housed in close proximity on campus, engaged inresearch projects united by a common theme. Having a unifying theme and developing strongcamaraderie are two aspects deemed critical to a successful REU program [3].A small but growing number of summer

the degree program, and ifthe relevance of the intervention was clear to students’ personal and academic interests. Thisresearch provides suggestions for educators designing ESI instruction and considerations of thecontext in which the instruction is embedded.IntroductionCalls to improve engineering ethics education have reverberated through industry andgovernment with increasing intensity over the past few decades (e.g., [1], [2]). Engineeringprograms have responded to the growing recognition of the need to foster students’ ethicaldevelopment and awareness of societal impacts in a variety of ways [3]-[5]. Without consensuson how engineering ethics should be taught or which outcomes the instruction should aim toachieve, different approaches

change. “We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist,using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems, we don't even know areproblems yet.” Most of us have come across this famous insight from former Secretary ofEducation, Richard Riley. Here are some key pointers from a recent publication (Walsh). - 65% of children entering elementary school this year will work in a job that hasn’t been invented yet - 49% of current jobs have the potential for machine replacement, with 60% having at least 1/3 of their activities automated - 80% of the skills trained for in the last 50 years can now be outperformed by machines - At a global level, technically automatable activities touch the equivalent of 1.1

—somethingunexpected—thus showing the potential allure of an Engineers’ Conductorless Orchestra toexternal audiences. Specifically, this student conductorless orchestra brought a New Yorkaudience to its feet. Though it was not OCO’s best 2017 concert, the performance connectedviscerally and crossed the footlights. As has repeatedly been observed, students talented in math, science, and engineering areoften talented in music, suggesting that a viable musical presence within an engineeringcurriculum makes sense. A first approach towards introducing the conductorless orchestramodel to other schools will occur at the 2019 ASEE Zone 1 International Conference in Niagara 3Falls, New York.

c Society for Engineering Education, 2019 A Multi-Instructor Study of Assessment Techniques in Engineering Mechanics Courses1. IntroductionThe authors have conducted a three-year study to explore the effects of a new assessment modelon student outcomes in a sophomore level Mechanics of Materials course. Preliminary resultsfrom the first two years were discussed previously [1]. The most recent set of results andconclusions are presented here, along with further discussion and lessons learned regarding itsimplementation. A key component of the latest phase of the study is the transition of the controlinstructor to the new method. For this instructor this paper includes a control

2018, UTA added Supplemental Instruction (SI) tothe class, giving the students more academic assistance outside the classroom.Underprepared students and underrepresented minoritiesThe educational gap between the expectations placed on college students and the knowledgelevels of underprepared students are not at all encouraging. These students are more likely to domore poorly in their courses and have lower graduation rates than other students. In looking forways to meet the needs of these underprepared college students, one-to-one tutoring has becomea service that is most often provided to them. Tutoring has sometimes been called the goldstandard to supplement effective instruction [1]. Many universities have also adoptedSupplemental
