ofcoursework and resources, a team was assembled to (i) develop a stand-alone degree plan thattakes more advantage of the curriculum already in place on the Galveston campus; (ii) leveragemain campus courses only when expertise does not already exist on Galveston campus; and (iii)support collaborative new course development through faculty teams on both campuses. Thispaper discusses the ongoing work developing the new curriculum, the problems this newpotential approach solves, and a model for future multi-campus curricular collaborations.IntroductionWith the increasing demand for engineers, universities must keep up with industry needs.

The framework addresses various aspects of cybersecurity, from hardware and softwaresecurity to incident response planning. We should note that adopting these simple principles andmultiple strategies can bolster the cybersecurity posture and effectively safeguard against thedigital footprint left behind against any cyber intrusion.A.

installations has been changing over the past twenty years,mainly due to the efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce emissionscaused by fossil fuels. In recent years, several ports in the USA have adopted strategic plans toreduce emissions by installing electric outlets for hoteling vessels, starting from cruise lines andmoving to cargo vessels [1]. It is estimated about 25% of cruise ships’ emissions in Puget Soundcan be eliminated with shore power. However, the pier and the vessel must have shore powertechnologies to benefit from this initiative. The load can be somewhat predictable due to thepredetermined arrival and departure times of cruses and cargo vessels. The electrical energy forthe shore power comes from regional

The main objective was to find asustainable method for fabricating filament feedstock for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3Dprinting processes, focusing on recycling composite materials from end-of-life boats. The projectinvolved collecting samples from abandoned boat hulls, classifying them, mechanically recyclingthe collected material through grinding, fabricating short-fiber reinforced composite filament forFDM 3D printing, and conducting tensile tests on 3D-printed parts.
