read andreflected on the co-operative inquiry method before and was keen to explore the inquiry domain:experiences of ESL students in the engineering education discipline. Then, the initiatorresearcher called for collaborators who were likely to share the keenness of the topic. After the collaborators responded to the initiator’s call, the initiator talked to eachindividual separately and discussed the goal in mind and asked for their insights and feedback.The first meeting was then scheduled and all the researchers participated. We talked about theindividual’s interest in this topic, the detail of what this co-operative inquiry is in terms ofdefining the phases of experiencing and reflecting and the procedures for conducting the

understanding students’ attitudes towards writing can lead to improved competency.Graduate engineering writing education in the United States, however, is complicated by the factthat over half of U.S. engineering graduate students are international. While most graduateprograms require English proficiency exams, like the TOEFL or IELTS, these exams do notmeasure proficiency at disciplinary academic writing, the genre of which is “foreign” even to U.S.domestic students. With these two populations in mind, this study seeks to investigate the attitudesof graduate engineering student writers, seeking to draw comparisons and illuminate differencesin the ways in which graduate engineering students conceptualize and approach the writing processin order to lend

insurance, faculty time, and overhead, the annual cost is in the$100K/year range. Who’s going to pay the tab? Not the students we hoped to enroll.With these goals and constraints in mind, members of our faculty, together with representativesfrom the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and leaders from local high-techcorporations, set out to create a doctoral program from scratch.Implementation: Employer PartnershipsThe central idea is to instantiate DEng studies and research as a partnership between JHU’sSchool of Engineering and each student’s employer. Specifically, we expect the following fromthe student’s employer: • To provide an onsite co-advisor to be an advocate for the student and a local resource for their work. The co

the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in computer science.Finally, as the new courses complete multiple offerings, it is desirable to streamline them to thegreatest extent possible to facilitate program growth and scalability. The courses have beendesigned with this in mind; however, final steps must be taken after the course has stabilizedafter several runs to achieve this goal.12. Conclusions and Ongoing WorkThis paper has described the development of a new cybersecurity graduate certificate and degreeoptions in M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and software engineering at NDSU.
