Thesefindings underscore the necessity for a standardized curriculum that integratestransdisciplinarity into engineering education.ChallengesThe first challenge is the disciplinary barrier. When we searched for literature, we identifiedmultiple transdisciplinary studies in other disciplines. For example, Block et al. [45] explorethe integration of urban sustainability, Mode 2 Science, and transdisciplinary educationthrough the Master Thesis Ateliers of the Ghent Stadsacademie, focusing on complex and"wicked" urban issues. Meanwhile, Tejedor et al. [47] emphasize the growing importance oftransdisciplinarity for achieving sustainability goals within technological curriculums.

adoption of OERsamong faculty. In addition, the learning curve and time-consuming of OER teaching are amongthe barriers [17]. 2023 ASEE Middle Atlantic Section ConferenceThe complexity of switching to OERs is another reason. There are too many types of OERmaterials the faculties need to learn, and master compared to traditional teaching. Plus, the qualityand efficacy of the OER materials are also questionable to them.Not only the faculties but also the students have trouble adapting to the OERs. Some first-yearcollege students may have difficulty managing their time, which leads to a lack of time to preparefor the lectures and review the content after the class. It is not necessarily caused by the OERmaterials, but

. Allowing students theopportunity to gain confidence in their ability by quickly learning coding andapplying introductory programming concepts could help them to master theseconcepts more quickly and defer programming environment set up to a later date.Accelerating the learning of programming may help to offset future needs, asgrowth in software development jobs is projected to significantly outpace growthin instructional jobs in computer science. This study implemented two versions ofthe same course content in self-paced and instructor-led formats. The instructor-led format included the delivery of online lectures combined with examples andpractice exercises. This was considered a more traditional approach wherestudents were taught using slides
versus a direct comparison of the course objectives [5] can also helpdemonstrate whether a student's perception of the course communication is accurate. Manystudies have been conducted to evaluate written communication [6], allowing students todifferentiate between reports, presentations, proposals, and design documentation. This typeof communication evaluation is commonly used in introductory-level engineering classes.Other studies [7]-[8] concentrate on communication mediums that engineering studentsshould master. These documents are primarily concerned with written documentation, oralpresentations, and electronic documentation. Many current papers focus on thecommunication skills that engineering students will need after graduation. However

A pre-requisite to the applied security track is the “UNIX/Linux Applications &Administration” course. It has been our observation that students coming through ourInformation Systems Technology program were getting very little (if any) exposure toUNIX-based systems. We feel that any decent security program must address a varietyof operating systems, and thus felt the need to create a course to introduce the students tothe UNIX environment.The course “Computer and Network Security” provides the basic introduction tocomputer security. The goal of this course is to provide the students with anunderstanding of the issues in computer security
