The experience level of the Teaching Assistants (TA), if present, varied across thesites; in some new-use settings, the TA had the primary responsibility of helping students whileinstructors had limited contact.

ECE Concepts Aaron Carpenter carpentera1@wit.edu Department of Electrical Engineering & Technology Wentworth Institute of Technology Abstract Cybersecurity’s increasing relevance and applicability in the research and developmentcommunity and job market make it an attractive topic for both students and faculty. Thus, it isnecessary for institutions of higher learning to provide courses that prepare students for thebroad security-based design space. In addition to teaching students about critical securityconcepts, hardware-based cybersecurity projects and courses sit at the intersection of manyelectrical and computer
tocontemporary problems and technology solutions than strictly didactic instruction orcontrived laboratory problem approaches. Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of

(2b) Maximize the time faculty are able to actively interact with students by using time in-class to let student teams apply what they know in analyzing the problem under faculty and TA guidance. (2c) Support student teams as they first design a solution to the problem, then implement that solution in the laboratory/class by using the tools and techniques

For onlinedelivery, a problematic issue is helping students troubleshoot their circuits [3].
