Thestudents must then generate a plan of action that has to be followed to meet the client’srequirements. The problem-solving process obliges the team to go through numerous iterations,and test and review solutions in order to come up with a model that will address the client needs[10] . Similarly, teamwork is essential in MEAs due to the time available to come up with a viablesolution to the problem. Additionally, by requiring multiple point-of-views and perspectives,students can arrive to better solutions in less time [10].A Cybersecurity Themed Model-Eliciting ActivityThis paper presents an MEA called Migration to HTTPS

class debates may take unexpected turns, raise unanswered questions, uncover unknown situations, or bring to light things that are not usually covered in everyday conversations. The faculty must establish from the beginning an academic approach to any subject, respect among all participant in the discussion, and a sense of curiosity that will encourage everybody to explore areas of knowledge and thought never experienced before.3. This class is a good candidate to be organized as a Socratic Seminar. For the next offering of this class we plan to have a classroom suitable to arrange tables in a circular format to encourage free exchange of ideas as the Socratic Seminar concept recommends.4.

The plan proposed initially was to build a single-keymodel as a starting point and then begin removing mechanical components in an effort to reducecosts and complexity. The design team replaced more complicated components like hammersand escapement pawls with simpler devices involving springs and latch mechanisms, made witha 3D printer.By the winter quarter the students constructed a 5-key prototype that gave us a platform to test afew types of alternative mechanisms.

Lack of comfort with the open-endedness of a design project. Military leadership provides missions and objectives to subordinates. Subordinates develop their own mission plans and objectives and push to the next subordinate level. The process continues downward until it reaches the lowest level. With the exception of coordinating certain elements, the method of mission accomplishment is open-ended. This provides lower military units with the flexibility to adapt and accomplish the objectives in whatever manner they see fit. 3. Inherent reluctance of students to begin
