Duringthe training period, the teachers took part in capsulated technical sessions (metrology,conventional machining, computer aided drafting/machining, and additive manufacturing),complementary lab practice, field tours, research seminars, and guided research projects. Thedeliverables from the program included an implementation lesson/lab plan, as well asdissemination of newly acquired knowledge at an annual teacher summit.

Additionally, it could be beneficial to those who plan towork in industry if cyber security teaching could align with materials and skills needed for cybersecurity certification exams such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)and Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) exams.However, there are key limitations and grand challenges on cyber security teaching in bothonline and face-to-face educational structures. The difficulties are mainly due to a broad range ofstudent backgrounds and a lack of computing resources. In most cyber security programs,students enroll with

of industrial studies traced the design processcommonalities between engineering disciplines across a broad spectrum of industries [5-7].These studies identified a six-stage transdisciplinary design process, which is widely acceptedand applicable across engineering disciplines. The six stages are Planning, ConceptDevelopment, System-Level Design, Detail Design, Implementation and Testing, andProduction. In light of current transdisciplinary design practices in the industry, Ertas [8]identifies challenges currently faced by engineering education and suggests responding to thesechanges by introducing transdisciplinary engineering design education.

Engineering undergraduates enrolled in physics and thermodynamics reported thefrequency of use of problem-solving strategies, confidence in their ability to solve problems, andanswered demographic questions. Measures of performance included course grades. Factor-analytic methods that were applied to students’ reports of strategy use identified three types ofstrategies, which were labeled Execution, Planning and Looking Back, and Low Confidence inAbility. The three factors were significant predictors of course performance, based on correlationand regression methods that were applied to the data.

resource plan. One of the first steps for developing the human resource plan is identifying and documenting roles and responsibilities. This is particularly critical in small to medium-sized liberal arts colleges looking to obtain initial ABET accreditation. Historically, these colleges lack in-house expertise regarding the process. Moreover, preparation ideally starts several years before the campus visit, therefore, roles such as acquiring accreditation knowledge, training, dissemination of such training are identified at the beginning. Among the qualities of a good human resource plan are that it can determine if human resource requirements are met, how they are met, determine when they are no longer met, and has a clear plan of acquiring
