was to keep the students fromhurting their own systems or putting themselves in danger of breaking a law (for example,hacking into a private or government system), while also ensuring that the students are operatingin a realistic and contemporary environment. This second point is especially difficult as studentsmust see cybersecurity outside of small exercises and apply their skills in a realistic manner.The authors will review the types of projects that students have completed in the last four years atWentworth Institute of Technology. These descriptions will include details of the projects and thetechnical and ethical challenges that accompanied each. These tips and best practices are intendedto provide instructors with a starting point as

Nevertheless, one ofthe most important goals of the program is that they learn to do research, find their ownsolutions, develop team management skills, presentation and documentation skills, they get thesense of critical design processes getting confidence and motivation to persevere until theobjective is reached.During the lectures of these courses the students learn different topics as history of computerengineering, the electronics development cycle, professional ethics, common development toolsused in industry, interview, resume/CV writing, and presentation preparation, management,testing

Such implicationsare particularly evident when we consider the origin of materials that electrical engineers use, theproducts that they develop, and the lifecycle of those products. Engaging with issues related tosocial context can seem disconnected from technical course content by both students and

adopt the full Scrum process. Taking this into account, in the freshmancourses we only familiarize students with kanban boards, which lays a foundation for usingScrum in later design courses.ECE 101 Introduction to Electrical Engineering is the first course, which gives new engineeringstudents a chance to experience what the fields of electrical and computer engineering have tooffer. Along with introducing core engineering topics such as problem solving and ethics, thecourse also features very simple circuits-based labs, which culminate in a multi-week long finalproject. CATME is used to generate teams of four to five students each, who design andconstruct a “Rube Goldberg”-like apparatus that incorporates electrical and mechanical elementsto

Student groups need to analyze their selected project on several aspects to show that it is anengineering project with practical value to the society. For the program accreditation requirements,the capstone projects should consider ethical and

They last student was not sure at first noting that “it’s kind ofscary – ethically teaching computers to do things” – but then could see possibly engaging in acareer in embedded devices. 4. Anything else you would like to add.The students provided some suggestions for improvement which echoed the comments of theFall 2018 Survey about making time for creativity and depth of understanding.• The students suggest using the first four weeks of the quarter to provide the needed background learning before learning to code.

stagger the laboratory activities so that students can continue with other portions of the lab when they finish with any one broadcast. • Interacting with real-world RF signals naturally sparked conversations surrounding use of the electromagnetic spectrum, wireless security, and ethical use of modern SDR technology. One particularly lively conversation stemmed from a student inquiring whether they could capture and reproduce the RF signal from key fobs used to unlock vehicle doors. The ensuing discussion ultimately transitioned to one of vulnerability of wireless systems and strategies to improve security. Instructors should be prepared for and welcome such discussions, as they present an opportunity

Consequently, the base courses must providestudents with a broad enough view of the field that they can make a satisfactory choice for theirpathway to a degree, while also providing them with basic knowledge that will be required ofany of those pathways.The program goals for the base courses are to 1) strengthen the integration of both electrical andcomputer engineering and ethics topics across the
