switch over to the respective instructor or TA help channel. Another exampleis students on a team switching from a public tutorial channel to their private team channel tomeet with the instructor to review progress on a project deliverable.The integrated filing sharing capabilities also proved to be useful. Students could easily submitfiles to folders that could be accessed by the instructor and TAs during online help sessions.More importantly, teams collaborating on building a CAD model could set up a master copy intheir channel’s file space which could be synced to each of their local hard drives. Each studentcould independently make changes to a part in an assembly model and push these updates backto the master copy. Of course, unlike with a
, community collegesare seen to be critical stepping stones for those pursuing a bachelors and masters degree inengineering (Mooney & Foley, 2011 & Bahr., 2017). From the years 2001 to 2007 it wasrecorded that 50% of Bachelor students and 45% of Masters students in engineering/STEM hadat some point attended community college during their studies (Mooney & Foley, 2011). Withthis statistic holding steady through the year 2013 where nearly 50% of students enrolled inpublic universities had enrolled in credit bearing courses during their studies (Bahr., 2017).Demonstrating that community colleges not only play a crucial role in the current success of theengineering health of the US but could be the key to further diversifying engineering as
often lack the knowledge of how these topics may inte-grate together. In this paper, we propose a pedagogical approach to integrate final projects of twoseparate courses in a course-based masters of software engineering program. In this approach,students work on a joint project for software design and architecture as well as a database de-sign course using a model-first approach. Students implement the object-oriented programmingphase in the first course, then they continue implementing a corresponding database in the sec-ond course. The study data is collected from an end-of-term survey and final projects’ artifacts.Through analyzing the data, we evaluate the students’ challenges as well as perception using thisapproach.

When asked, there was 100% agreementacross all 4 surveys that students expected their relationship with their academic and careerinterests to benefit from participation in the program.Future career/education plansAs expected, participation in the program had a small positive impact on students’ interest inpursuing a STEM masters degree. Less expected was the increased interest in pursuing a PhD ina STEM program. The increased interest in graduate work was also not a function of enrollmentin ROTC. Of the 9 participants in the program, 7 of them were in ROTC programs which includesome degree of post-undergraduate military commitment which could impact their graduateschool options.

Even though microlearning has gained increasedpopularity in Computer Science & IT education, it still has received little attention for teachingintroductory core programming courses.

This course hascombined using a textbook for the first third with using NIST guidance for the latter two thirds.This semester a new textbook, Cybersecurity Risk Management: Mastering the FundamentalsUsing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework by Cynthia Brumfield with Brian Haugli (2022) [10],was chosen and made a required course reading. This textbook consists of six (6) chaptersserving as the foundational reference in support of learning outcomes and supporting referencefor in-class activities and take-home assignments.

By examining the courseoutcomes directly on an exam, and requiring that students receive a high passing mark on eachexam, it could be determined if each individual student had indeed mastered each of the

convey as much information asthe numerical value. In addition, she would discuss whether the numerical value obtained forthat question made sense in the context of the problem. All too often, students simply writedown an answer because ‘their calculator said so’. Discussing the validity of a particular answeraids in training students to pause, assess their answer, and determine whether the problem meritscloser examination. The skill of self-assessment is so important that authors of universitytextbooks, such as Beer and Johnston, have begun to explicitly define and instruct it in theirtextbooks [5]. Undoubtedly, this particular skill is one that is necessary for all aspiring engineersto master as they prepare to enter the workforce -- where
