dividedinto seven modules, each of which covers two weeks. The anatomy of a typical module showsthe main features: Three recitations (Rec. n), one lecture (in the middle of the module), onerehearsal exam (RE), and one module assessment (MA). The recitations and rehearsal exams are75-minute sessions held in smaller rooms. The lecture and module assessment are 50-minutesessions held in a large lecture hall.Recitation. In the recitation periods, the students work through the “problem(s) of the day” ingroups, with the instructor and undergraduate teaching assistants (UGTAs) providing support,asking probing questions, giving advice, and generally activating the learning environment, asneeded.

experiences that caused them to see themselves as differentiated from the broader group ofresearch engineers. This within-group differentiation appears to be grounded in fairly routine experiencesas a member of an under-represented group in a STEM field. Ironically, despite the clear disempoweringimpact that these experiences can have, there is also some evidence that they may promote thedevelopment of alternative value structures and feelings of purpose related to STEM fields for membersof underrepresented groups. 15ReferencesAlexander, C.

Maturity Model (CMM) intosoftware engineering was developed by the Software Engineering Institute of CarnegieMellon University in 1987. The integrated version (CMMI) evolved from this early work.ABET’s Criteria 2000 was inexorably linked to the quality assurance fervor of the 1990’s[2-7]. However, the work involved in preparing for accreditation is enormous, and facultymembers do not always find the direct benefit of such work. As a result, some nontechnicalfaculty members have even resorted to excoriating the entire outcomes-based approach ofthe accreditation process publicly [8].The classroom instructors of many undergraduate courses are burdened with severalchallenges such as large class sizes, dwindling instructional support and the need to

However, there have been multiple instances throughout the journey whenwe would almost have to give up when significant challenges emerged.The strategies that we have used to overcome those challenges to enable this successful initiativeof an engineering faculty-led course will be shared in this paper.

It has been reported that engineering design capstone courses have shown to increasestudent engineering identity, motivation, and self-efficacy. [13] Rohde et al.’s work withelectrical engineering students indicate that design experiences “strongly influenced” bothengineering identity and belongingness to the engineering community.

For small lab spaces without the resources of larger groups, such as a universitylibrary system, dealing with controlled access of space and equipment, equipment maintenance,stocking of supplies, and orders for students can be extremely difficult. Also, using complexsystems can be burdensome for student employees with quick turnover.

Code-level hardening is also employed tomake it difficult for attackers from easily discovering vulnerabilities in the code, as well as to protectthe program owner’s intellectual property [15].Hardening can also refer to practices that make the original source code of an application moredifficult to understand. This is generally defined as code obfuscation. The practice of codeobfuscation in modern software engineering dates back to the 1980’s, with small competitions heldto transform simple C code into confusing, abstract puzzles difficult for humans to parse andunderstand [16].Since the 1980’s, literature on code-level obfuscation has been consistent but generally sparse.
