Photograph of final dual-purpose desktop machine.Conclusions This project dealt with the creation of a machine capable of two different types ofmanufacturing processes by utilizing the common components and reducing the space needed foreach independent process. The successful completion of this project adds to the DIY communityadditional options to improve the functionality and the ability to create parts. The market is wideopen for machines that can do multiple processes as people gain more access to thesetechnologies. The design criteria and objectives for this project were met.

Early in thesemester, we assigned students to think of a real-life software application that they coulddevelop. We evaluated their ideas and randomly formed teams of 5-6 students. In the firstteam meeting, all members presented their application ideas and debated to choose theirprojects. They chose one of the presented ideas, developed a hybrid of some of the ideas, orpicked an entirely new idea. The student teams discussed the project ideas with the coursefaculty who moderated the size and scope of the projects. After a few weeks, when

Technology emphasis in Cyber Security. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Cybersecurity Camp - A Call for AwarenessAbstractThe demand for cybersecurity analysts and awareness is increasing, the employment ofinformation security analysts is projected to grow 37 percent from 2012 to 2022, much fasterthan the average for all occupations. Today, women represent just 10 percent of thecybersecurity workforce. Thus, to increase the amount of people going into cybersecurity,primarily women, we must start at the base: schools. There, we can emphasize the need for beingcyber savvy and also address the need to have balanced teams of men and women.In 2015, we hosted a Girls Cybersecurity Camp
