. Until recently, it was not cost effective to provide Spring 2015 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova Universitystudents with access to real world examples of IT infrastructure. There have been several reportson the need to reform engineering and computer science education6,7, as well as reports on thetransformative power of early curriculum redesign efforts in this field8. As part of thistransformation, the gap between teaching methods and practitioner’s skills can be addressed, atleast in part, through new teaching models such as flipped classrooms9,10 and increasedacademic partnerships (the latter have also been shown to help foster interdisciplinaryeducation).In this paper, we discuss a new undergraduate
