proposing an engineering solution. The process starts withexposing the students to clinical settings where they have an opportunity to make observationwith an end goal of identifying an unmet need and presenting it to a group of external panel forits significance. This not only helps enhance their critical thinking and communication skills, butalso exposes them to the components of creativity, innovation ethics and ethical decision-making, global awareness, self-directed research, and life-long learning. These are some of themost important entrepreneurial skill sets needed in the workforce along with technical aptitude.Student evaluations and informal interviews with the students have revealed successfulimplementation of this strategy.I

. At the start ofthe course, students are introduced to the ethical conduct standards and practices published bythe IEEE and ACM14, which they are expected to follow throughout the course.While some courses simply download programs onto a student’s existing computer platform,simulating a penetration test is more involved. Rather than simply providing students with acompiled list of security tools, it’s important to provide a structured lab environment in whichstudents can safely practice and develop information security techniques. For the first two weeksof the course, students receive instruction on how to set up a VMWare virtual environmentwhich is used for the rest of the course, including a review of basic programming techniques ageneral

designed toprovide students, from day one, a resource to experience what working on real world problemswith team members from other disciplines is like and how they can work together and bringexpertise from their specific subset of skills to the project at hand. At the freshman level theclass is held twice a week, one 55 minute lecture, and one 165 minute lab. In the lectures, eachinstructor covers a core set of topics which focus on Engineering Fundamentals such asProduct Development, Reverse Engineering, Design Tools, Ethics, Team Development,Problem Solving, and many more1. These lectures are fairly uniform across each section of theclass to help provide all freshman students with the same set of skills when enteringSophomore year and Sophomore

We also use this process to discuss process safety concerns pertaining to the naturalgas burner in the brew kettle and the ethical considerations associated with using river water as acooling fluid in

They also indicate thatcontributing to society is an important factor in achieving personal fulfillment. All of thesequestions were scored above 3.3/4.0 and these results are consistent with the character and valuespromoted throughout Villanova’s community.Figure 1.

The very nature of this projecthelps cultivate the characteristics of a World-Class Engineer, which requires that students be:solidly grounded; technically broad; globally engaged; ethical; innovative; excellentcollaborators; and visionary leaders.In future semesters, the Ecological Engineering course will include optional travel to Roatán forstudents to help build the water treatment systems that they collaboratively designed withoversight by practicing engineers.

Such practical skills can only be gained through hands-on experimentation.In the literature, ethical hacking1, 2 involving “red team/blue team” activities3-5, arerecommended for teaching advanced skills to information security students. More importantly,hands-on experimentation is an effective pedagogy to teach students higher order thinking skillsas defined within Bloom’s taxonomy, including analysis, evaluation, synthesis and creation. Awell designed hands-on activity can integrate skills from multiple levels of the taxonomy,thereby enhancing students’ technical, as well as critical, thinking skills.Providing information security students with hands-on experimentation is

technology growth along that path to disrupt the other market holders. This will not bea surprise to most of the established educational market holders, as most are tracking MOOCsclosely and as mentioned above many have placed heavy investments in their development. Thiswill insure they are key players in the MOOC generation of educators. As the cost of educationincreases and employers are forced to screen new employees more on experience, work ethic andpersonality matches, those involved will continue to see MOOCs taking more and more of theeducational market place, possibly finding their place as a disruptive technology.
