validating the effectivenessof this research-based learning approach. These results suggest that the assignment successfullyengages students in critical thinking about network security risks, reinforcing their ability toanalyze and articulate complex cybersecurity concepts.As “computer networks” is a core course in most computer engineering and computer sciencecurricula, we highly recommend incorporating such an outcome in the course to develop risk andsecurity awareness in the existing syllabus and the course material without additional lectures ortopics. Based on our experiences, a risk-aware approach ensures that enterprise networks remaina secure and scalable foundation for organizational success. The concept of thinking like anadversary can be

adapted for other programs to implement a similar course design without losing thequintessential properties that were described. COVID-19 adaptations were made to limit human contact, while maintaining the skill buildingactivities and discussions. The access to cheap and easily accessible electronics kits and other materials,as well as free online software and Zoom meetings helped to transition the course partially online asneeded by the pandemic restrictions. Technology trends, such as software/electronics updates and recentbreakthroughs in generative AI have also impacted the course content. A dynamic subject such asWearable Technology makes it indispensable for instructors to stay up-to-date with these trends andexamples from the

At our university, only the lead instructor was atenured faculty member and the co-authors were subject matter experts in the Vanderbilt Instituteof Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE), the Wond’ry, the Center for TechnologyTransfer (CTTC), the business library, and the engineering management program withenthusiasm for the course goals and working with undergraduates.With many co-instructors, we found it helpful to start planning a detailed syllabus including acourse schedule at least one semester before the first time the course was offered. We firstdetermined together the most important content to convey in the 14-week course, balancing thenanoscience, innovation, and entrepreneurship content

aforementioned research in mind, the EME was developed to enhance inclusion andautonomy, and thus motivation, in a third-year required civil engineering course (CE 3311:Geotechnical Engineering), rooted in EML course outcomes. Two specific course outcomes aswritten in the course syllabus, which are assessed as part of the project grade and reflection, areas follows: Create connections between class content, and create value for general audience science communication, via a museum exhibit group project. Function effectively in a team environment by establishing goals, assigning tasks, and meeting objectives.The project and its ties to EML are outlined below, with student motivation analysis using self-determination theory

technological innovation; 2) for thecommunity, to foster the connection between research and business such as patent, incubation,and venture [9]. Entrepreneurship in higher education is playing a crucial role in linkingacademic research and potential business. Although some studies have investigatedentrepreneurship efficiency by designing engineering courses [10] [11] and evaluatingentrepreneurial activities [6] [12], there was a lack of studies focusing on the entrepreneurialpatent pathway program in doctoral education. The purpose of this case study is to understandthe perceptions and experiences of doctoral students and faculty regarding how the alternativepatent defense pilot program in STEM disciplines influences an individual’s
