This US Bureau of Labor and Statistics labels photonics engineers asStandard Occupation Classification (SOC) code # 17-2199.07 and groups them under theheading “Engineering, Other” which is a segment with a projected job growth of 5-9% annually[3]. The reports for average pay for an electro-optical engineer vary between to $90,000 to$100,000 per year [4,5]. This is a growing industry with ample job prospects for students whoelect to pursue degrees related to electro-optics. With the low cost of Arduinos and similar micro controllers, it is very

This gap in cybersecurityworkforce has left corporations in high demand for employees to meet security needs.The authors of this paper believe that the solution to this problem begins early in K-12.Early exposure to cybersecurity through a well-designed curriculum and set of activitieswill help alleviate the shortage by increasing the interest and skills of the newgeneration. Unfortunately, current secondary school curricula across the country leavestudents and educators with minimal or no exposure to cybersecurity topics. To addressthis need, we

Reverse engineering is a process in which the starting point ofa new design starts with an existing design [1]. These tools were incorporated into a designcourse in a Mechanical Engineering program to design and validate a lighter version of abracket.3D Laser scanners are used to obtain the geometry of existing parts determining the position ofa scanned area by sensing the reflection of a laser on a surface taking into account the period ofreturn of the light ray and the angle of impact [2].

elements of design, while important, is not sufficient when it comes toengaging in specific design behaviors. Drawing from Gollwitzer’s [1] notion of intentions,having students articulate their design intentions entails developing their self-regulatory skillsthat promote the initiation of goal-directed behaviors and ultimately taking purposeful action.Consequently, intentional and goal-directed processes are constituents of self-regulated learning[2]. Hadwin et al. [2] explain that goals enable students to commit to a particular standard oroutcome that can subsequently be used for self-evaluation. On this account, goals are central forstudents to develop regulatory skills and achieve future success because they contextualizestrategies, and they
