. Other programs reflecting Wei’s international reach include the college’s Poverty Alleviation/Service-Learning program and Engineers Without Borders. This global perspective is rooted in a vision of SJSU as a preeminent producer of forward-thinking problem-solvers. With this goal in mind, Wei has established the Silicon Valley Engineering Scholarship, a program that provides $5,000 of annual support for high-achieving students to pursue engineering careers. Wei is also a Principal Contributor to CSU (California State University) Engineering Academies, a statewide program that helps high schools better motivate and prepare students for the rigors of engineering education. Moreover, she supports the creation of high

phenomenon in a waythat would otherwise be impossible [16]. These benefits, combined with the relatively low costof implementing a VR framework, make VR scanning electron microscopy an effectivealternative to a real SEM laboratory.With this in mind, a team of researchers and students (including the authors) at Utah ValleyUniversity (UVU) investigated VR as a strategy for familiarizing students with the SEM, astrategy we hope will be disseminated to additional colleges and universities to better prepare thenext generation of nanotechnology engineers. Using VR hardware, the team designed a VR labincorporating a SEM for use in training students and faculty. The complete VR lab includes fourdifferent rooms containing essential tools used in

As cyber threats against industrial systems grow and have no definedpatterns, the need for understanding and defending these systems at the university study levelshave increased. The security industry has stepped up to address cyber threats and are usuallystaffed with personnel from IT who are often unfamiliar with core SCADA/ICS operations. Thislab at the university has been designed with these skill gaps in mind and aims to

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this
