In this paper, we provideexamples on how students’ knowledge of CPS security changes over the course of the program,how students are supported in and out of the classroom towards advancing their knowledge in thisfield. We also highlight the impact that project-based and team coordinated learning can have onincreasing students’ understanding of the fundamentals of CPS security.IntroductionA recent study by Cybersecurity Ventures [1], a respected publisher of cybersecurity content,predicts that 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs around the world will be unfilled by 2021. In the UnitedStates, the demand for professionals with cybersecurity expertise is outpacing all other occupations[2]. These reports, along with many others
) Experiential learning (second morning session). Students learned about the subject matterthrough a hands-on laboratory class or a computer-based activity. This direct experience allowedstudents to apply the basic principles of transportation engineering to solve a problem related tothe topic of the day. A faculty member and academic aides assisted students during the activity.3) Case-based learning (first afternoon session). An experienced transportation professional fromthe St. Louis area lectured on a recently completed project or a current project relevant to thetopic of the day. The purpose was to help students learn the subject matter and related decision-making processes through the case study of a real project in the state of Missouri or the

Since then, Velez has managed such programs as FIRST LEGO League Robotics, MESA, and the National Summer Transportation Institute. She currently coordinates EPICS High (Engineering Projects in Community Service) to engage high school and mid- dle school students in human-centered engineering projects in their communities. Through this program, Velez works to build partnerships with school districts, industry, and non-profits to bring STEM program- ming to underserved communities across the state. Before joining ASU, Velez spent seven years as an elementary educator at a STEM focus school. She currently holds a Masters of

Provide this education and training within the context of their team engineering capstone projects to improve their ability to apply what they have learned.These goals highlight perhaps the two main differences between explicit and non-explicit ELEprograms. The former programs are a separate course of study with the benefit of being muchmore rigorous, thorough and resulting in a certificate or minor, but at the cost of more selectparticipation and loss of elective courses as well as greater institutional expense.

Introduction Demand for undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) education continues to grow,driven by persistent need for professionals with technical skills. In addition to core technical knowledge,students embarking on a career in CSE must be ready to combine theory and practice in a context wherethe underlying technology continually changes, projects are large-scale and collaborative, and professionalresponsibility and ethics-based decision-making are critical when products are adopted widely. Manystudents seek hands-on industry internship experiences to complement their in-class instruction andprepare for these

institutionalarrangements necessary to help students develop these skills have not yet settled into a widelyadopted standard. Many engineering programs have turned to STS to provide students withconceptual tool kits to think about engineering problems and solutions in more sophisticatedways. Some programs feature standalone courses on the sociocultural aspects of technology andengineering, often taught by faculty from outside the engineering school. Others incorporate STSmaterial into traditional engineering courses, e.g., by making ethical or societal impactassessments part of capstone projects. This work in progress paper draws on the research team’s personal experience to examinethe character of an atypical, but potentially very powerful, model: STS
. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 A Novel Approach to Mastery-Based Assessment in Sophomore-Level Mechanics CoursesAbstractThe Mechanics Project is a reimagination of the foundational mechanics courses that engineeringstudents generally take in their sophomore year. The courses associated with the project (statics,dynamics, and deformable solids) were converted to a student-centered engaged learningenvironment with students spending most of their class time in a flipped recitation environment.The pedagogical transformation was complemented with the implementation of a novelassessment system based upon redundant demonstration of mastery of the course objectives. Theassessment system
technological solutions that focus heavily onstudents’ technical skills. However, for innovations that create an impact, it is essential tolink this technical knowledge to societal considerations. This paper describes a problem-centered approach towards introducing mechanical engineering students to sustainable,ethical and collaborative innovation, through an analysis of student work and feedbackgathered from a ten-week long pilot conducted as part of a compulsory, Master’s level,academic year-long Mechanical Engineering course.During the pilot, student groups worked on broadly phrased challenges derived from anongoing EU project on developing societal applications for technology, choosing one ofseven challenges ranging from changing rain patterns in
members may engage in more central activities. ● Participation refers to engagement with the people and in the activities of a community.Several elements of legitimate peripheral participation can help to frame makerspaces as learningenvironments. First, consider the idea of partial participation. Newcomers in a MCoP engage inpartial participation through scaffolding such as tutorials and structured labs. These initialactivities or projects are typically more scaffolded, less complex, and more peripheral to thecommunity than, for example, a full design-build project at the bleeding edge of the MCoP’scapabilities. Thus, partial participation allows newcomers opportunities to not just learn how todesign or make a particular object but to make
the retention of underrepresented students in engineering. These include:(1) emphasizing the social construction of engineering knowledge, which empowers andliberates students as prospective makers-of-knowledge; (2) emphasizing the social relevance ofengineering content, particularly in engineering projects [e.g. 25]; and (3) emphasizing thecollaborative, creative nature of engineering design.The recent tendency to depoliticize engineering instruction and culture is not simply inaccurate;it has also been shown by Erin Cech to be harmful, particularly to those members of engineeringcommunities who may be marginalized [26].

engagement of more reticent students.Previous studies have identified the immediate academic environment as a powerful resource tosecondary student retention. Students at an alternative learning center that outperformed learningexpectations set by SES identified several factors to their persistence in school, includingconnecting to real life issues, student autonomy, and a relaxed environment where their inputwas valued [9]. This suggests that offering a similarly non-competitive, constructiveenvironment for exploration of STEM can be an empowering strategy to increase studentengagement.To this end, project-based learning (PBL) may synergize with, or contribute to, a positiveclassroom culture. PBL is a mastery-focused, rather than knowledge-focused

The objective of the course is toexpose students to design thinking concepts and enable them to solve various design challenges.The pedagogical framework of the course is focused on collaborative learning in a project-based,active learning environment. Student teams participate in various activities in class designed topromote creative and innovative thinking. The major learning outcomes focus on 1) writing anarrowly focused problem statement addressing open-ended or ill-defined global challenges; 2)applying ethnographic methods to understand technological problems; 3) developing a searchstrategy, access technical data bases and evaluate results and source quality; 4) creating

This smart home lab can also facilitate the creation of assignments fordifferent courses at Purdue University. For example, we can execute various scenarios using thedevices in our lab, create forensic images of control devices and assign these images to students toperform forensic analyses to determine various events. We describe four possible threat scenariosbelow.One case study of a potential threat vector and how students could engage with it using an activelearning project is the investigation of the smart plug device. Using the IoT lab, students would beable to investigate what security measures exist to protect smart plugs from potential
