While early adopters of ROS were graduate students or in-dustry users, increasingly, students and instructors are taking an interest in ROS at the under-graduate level [2] [3] [4] as has been explored at the masters level [5] [6]. However, even justinstalling ROS can be a daunting task for the uninitiated. This paper explores options for in-stalling ROS for undergraduate courses, offers recommendations, and points readers towardsadditional guides and resources.2.1 Importance of ROSROS has become a powerful staple of robotics research and development. ROS is a softwaresuite with efficient, modular, and easily customizable software tools [7]. It is free

CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling

Dewey advocated for learning through experience and hands-onactivities, emphasizing the importance of connecting classroom knowledge to real-worldapplications [3]. In the 21st century, PBL has become increasingly integrated into educationalreform efforts globally. The emphasis on 21st-century skills such as critical thinking,communication, collaboration, and creativity has fueled the adoption of PBL as an effectivemethodology to develop these competencies [4].

However, in a 2011 study that surveyed of 382 facultymentors, many reported apathy or antipathy toward seeking out or attending training on theinformation literacy behaviors which would help them stay up to date on research methods andtools across the research lifecycle [2]. This likely contributes to the fact that many students (907surveyed in the same 2011 study) report that their faculty mentors do not provide adequatesupport [2].

In this model, the semesterperiods were divided into three periods of 5 weeks each, where subjects from the previouscurriculum, which lasted 18 weeks, were condensed into a 5-week teaching period. Thisapproach was based on entirely focusing students on a thematic area (Fig.1).In the Tec21 curriculum plans [1-5], each thematic block is structured with several moduleson related themes and a challenge (linked project), which must be addressed by developingskills derived from the deployment of the modules.

Thatreengineering involves asking the questions: “How can we make our processes more effective,more quality conscious, more flexible, simpler, and less expensive?” [1] One potential approachto making our processes more flexible and less expensive is by satisfying multiple requirementsof the ABET general criterion 7 for facilities with a single space. Criterion 7 states, “Classrooms,offices, laboratories, and associated equipment must be adequate to support attainment of studentoutcomes and to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning [2].” Educating the Engineer of2020 states, “Although its form may change from one
