studies and demonstrate real-time critical thinking and problem-solving skills during a mock Senate Ethics Hearing. Students also choose technical areas toresearch, and work in groups to develop research proposals, patent applications, and businessplans. As a result, students learn to apply ethical perspectives and consider the full implicationsof unethical practices, develop valuable professional competencies, communicate with a diverseset of stakeholders and audiences, and identify a technical area of interest and work as a group tocreate and present a technology development proposal and business plan that meets a communityneed.The assignments and projects in the PFE course series directly address ABET Outcomes 4 and 5.The professional

serves as a learning space and as a showcase of best practices related to sustainable design and construction;• Increase their interest and self-efficacy in sustainable design;• Connect concepts related to tiny house design across disciplines;• Compare and contrast interdisciplinary design options and decisions;• Reflect on their learning.Students in six different courses on campus are collaborating to design the tiny house. This pastsummer, students in Architecture I investigated different sites at the Organic Farm and preparedsite plans for 3 different sites. This winter, students in Architecture II and III will work onarchitectural designs and plans using one of the sites proposed by the Architecture I students. Inaddition, students in an

efforts related to the Student Experiential Education(SEE) Initiative in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of ColoradoBoulder. The SEE Initiative was founded in Spring 2018 and is currently in its first year ofimplementation. The initiative aims to more effectively integrate professional insights andindustry-related connections throughout students’ experience in the department.The SEE Initiative approaches the goal of increased industry/academia integration from twoangles. The first approach focuses on finding opportunities to ​pull​ ​industry into education. Thisapproach includes hosting alumni panels in core classes, using alumni/industry volunteers forrequired student informational interviews, planning networking

inconjunction with their faculty mentor and performed a literature search related to the topic.Then, each participant created a research plan to bring his or her project through to fruition andundertook the research activities identified in the plan. Each participant also wrote up theresearch for publication and made a poster for display at a university-wide undergraduateresearch poster session, during the summer. The program was open to undergraduate studentsnationwide and students participated from two-year, four-year and more research-intensiveschools.As part of the process of assessing the REU, a survey was conducted. This survey collecteddemographic information about the participants. It also asked them about their reasons forparticipation and the

-efficacy has been identified as an importantfactor in predicting student outcomes [12], [13].Engineering also represents an interesting domain in terms of academic self-efficacy becausesuccess in engineering often requires not only academic ability in the traditional sense (i.e., tolearn and perform well in a course), but also the ability to actually make products successfully.Several fields of engineering at Carnegie Mellon University have a heavy focus on the latterability, and that is the ability explored here. This paper investigates elements of self-efficacy in afreshman engineering course that is founded not just on students’ ability to learn concepts, butalso to plan and execute tasks with accuracy. In Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering

with a discussion about planned future work inthis area.2. BackgroundIn this section, work in related topics are discussed. First, related work in robotics competitionsand education is outlined. Then, the benefits of problem-based learning are analyzed.2.1 Robotics Competitions and EducationFor robotics education, Zdešar et al. [3] found that students typically appreciate a balancebetween theory and practice. In this regard, the use of competitions could provide an excellentmeans of practice, which could be augmented with theory through the aid of a competitionmentor or advisor. Moreover, a study done in 2002 by Ahlgren and Verner [4] showed thatrobotic contests could lead to considerable progress in theoretical and practical areas forstudents

national, social, and economicsecurity [4]. Adding to this growing cyber threats is a shortage of cybersecurity researchers andworkforce talent [5]–[7]. This talent shortfall is increasing as the scope of society’s cybersecurityneeds continue to expand. To close the gap, several authors [8]–[13] have recommended aneffort to grow the number of people in cybersecurity who have competencies in research. Thisfocus would result in a workforce able to identify and define problems, think critically to connectproblems with solutions, develop projects and related plans, collect and analyze data, drawconclusions, communicate effectively, and work well in teams.This study investigates the role of active team-based learning as a means of developing thisneeded
