different types ofvalue on both the university and industry side in negotiating and running these courses canhelp to find better matches in collaboration. As a result, all parties are better set up forsuccessful university-industry collaboration.1 IntroductionProject-based courses are increasingly popular in engineering education, allowing educatorsto target a variety of professional skills. Working for or together with external communities orindustry partners can further add to the experience, offering students a unique opportunity toget meaningful real-life experiences of contextualized problem framing and problem solvingduring their studies [1,2]. However, while the continued existence of these courses indicatessome need from the industry side

One possible factor is lack ofknowledge about the field of engineering. Although the Next Generation Science Standardsincorporate some fundamental engineering concepts in K-12 education [2], many teachers werenot exposed to the field of engineering during college, limiting their students’ exposure andaccess to this field [3

IntroductionGovernments recognize that student volunteers play an important role in developing an engagedcivil society [1]. A school that actively participates in neighborhood activities unites students,teachers, staff, and community stakeholders. This increases a school’s ability to produce engagedand civic minded citizens. Students participating in community projects gain a sense of belongingand security which can lead to academic success as well as civic engagement.

Here, we propose the“Phishing Wi-Fi” man-in-the-middle attack utilizing Wi-Fi, HTTP, and DNS for cybersecurityeducation. Since virtualization technology, commonly used in cybersecurity education, is notsuitable for wireless lab exercise, we use Raspberry Pi, small and affordable computer, to buildWi-Fi Phishing lab. In this paper, we introduce the concept and guideline of the Phishing Wi-Fiattack using Raspberry Pi including building, delivery method, and countermeasures.1 IntroductionOver the past decade, Internet became an essential component not only in human daily life butalso in many different sectors including economy, industry, and etc. Such a

Consequently, the training sessions contribute to achieving theUniversity learning objectives for graduate students in research programs.IntroductionIntroductionFounded in Montreal in 1873, Polytechnique Montréal is a francophone engineering universityoffering more than 120 academic programs. In Fall 2019, the institution had 9,000 studentsenrolled, with more than 2,200 in a graduate program [1]. Polytechnique Montréal stronglyencourages diversity among its student population, so as of Fall 2019, 28% of its students werewomen and 29% were international students. Moreover, international

Earlyfindings, however, indicated that aside from improved engagement and confidence with STEMthere were also indications of increasing retention in the region – regardless of where the studentoriginally was from [2]. As a workforce development grant in a legacy industrial landscape, thisfinding proved important to

acquired a better understanding of how to interact with people fromdifferent cultures and learned other ways of seeing the world.IntroductionCross-cultural skills are essential in today’s work life and are valued necessities for organizationsoperating in a global environment. The ability to work effectively in international settings andconnect easily with people from other backgrounds, awareness of diverse cultures, perceptions,and approaches as well as the capacity for effective communication across cultural and languageboundaries – these are the skills that college graduates need to develop in order to live and workcomfortably in a global society [1], [2]. Participation in global engineering programs mayenhance a students’ ability to respect
learning experiences for our students as they prepare to engage withan ever-changing world [1],[2]. This increase also responds to the diverse nature of course designand implementation, in which educators often take different approaches [3],[4] and fulfill avariety of functional roles [5]. By working together, educators can focus on specific facets andlearn from others. Yet, designing a course together can be challenging. Some have notedchallenges in resolving pedagogical, ideological, and functional differences [3]. Others have alsoreported time management challenges and concerns over autonomy [2]. In our experience,reward structures, personal bandwidth concerns, and collaboration dynamics can also play a role.We (the authors) have begun engaging
development, mentoring from recentalumni, and academic advising. Further, “early exposure to computer science” isprovided in the seminars and program events.Research associated with the program focuses on two main questions: 1) How andto what extent do the program features contribute to the development of self-efficacy, CS/M identity, and sense of belonging? and 2) How does early exposureto computer science through coursework and career awareness affect theexperience of CS/M Scholars? These questions are investigated through focusgroup interviews and surveys of the CS/M Scholars and a comparison group.IntroductionIn this paper we discuss the CS/M (Computer Science/Math) Scholars Program at WesternWashington University. This program is supported by a

Japan is more used to collective decisionmaking while in the US the decision is made by the individual managers. In Japan, the responsibility iscarried collectively whereas in the US industries responsibility is more individualistic. By the same token,in Japanese industries the concern is holistic while in the US, concern it is more segmented.The Change of Work Culture during the Three Scientific RevolutionsAny “paradigm shift” in science, using this favorite term of Thomas Kuhn [1], cannot change very quicklyour habits and customs, in sum, our culture. When humankind shifted from fruit gathering
, it can be easy to focus on the experiences of first-time-in-college (FTIC)students. However, this focus is an idealization - as messaging about engineering from the firstyear is a critical junction for how students make decisions about persisting in an engineeringprogram [see 1]. Not everyone has the opportunity or chooses to begin at a four-year institution.The National Student Clearinghouse [2] reports that, in the previous ten years, 49 percent ofstudents who completed a bachelor’s degree at a four-year university in the 2015-2016 academicyear had also enrolled in a community college (two-year institution) for at least one semester.For those looking to revise their curriculum substantially, thinking about how to bridge transferstudents

In this paper, we provideexamples on how students’ knowledge of CPS security changes over the course of the program,how students are supported in and out of the classroom towards advancing their knowledge in thisfield. We also highlight the impact that project-based and team coordinated learning can have onincreasing students’ understanding of the fundamentals of CPS security.IntroductionA recent study by Cybersecurity Ventures [1], a respected publisher of cybersecurity content,predicts that 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs around the world will be unfilled by 2021.

Science (CS) department got together and proposed a focused10-week long funded summer camp for two local high schools with the following objectives: 1. Provide graduate students to instruct in the areas of` mobile application development, forensics and cyber Security. 2. Provide CS one-on-one mentors for students while conducting their work-based learning experience in Computer Science. 3. Assign hands-on interdisciplinary projects that emphasize the importance of STEM fields when using and developing software applications. 4. Promote and develop soft skills among participants including leadership, communications skills, and teamwork.The proposal was funded, by DOE and the summer camps were conducted in the summer of

The difference in STEM and STEAM is theinclusion of arts of any kind, aligning artistic creativity with STEM learning. Zimmerman andSprung concluded that motivation and self-confidence in computing for females is increasedwhen they can learn CS in the context of a content area, they are already comfortable with [1].Recognizing this cross-disciplinary connection approach, Mississippi State Universityresearchers in 2014 integrated a physical art component module that enabled girls to designrobots using crafting material, with positive results. In 2019, the team piloted a 4-day camp

Jacoby conciselydescribes service learning as “a form of experiential education in which students engage inactivities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunitiesintentionally designed to promote student learning and development” [1].The main components of community engaged learning are service, academic content, partnershipand reciprocity, and finally, analysis or reflection [2]. The service should provide support andsolutions for overcoming a community identified need, while also deepening students learning ofengineering concepts. The community engagement work provides an opportunity for students toapply their classroom learning in a real world setting, with the intention of enriching theirunderstanding of

Ourglobal quality of life depends on inventions that will ultimately solve grand challenges, as well assimple inventions that delight and improve quality of life. These claims are supported by therecent STEM Education Strategic Plan published by the White House, which cites innovationand entrepreneurship as critically important to U.S. competitiveness and security [1]. However, U.S. patent holders typically come from high-income families, with fewpatents belonging to women and minorities [2].

This is motivated in part by the recognition thatimproved STEM education will benefit from qualitative and quantitative research [1], and for theneed to evaluate the effectiveness of various initiatives that are being explored [2]. Recent NSFawards have focused mostly on graduate students seeking to become STEM researchersincluding studies that established: 1) an Institute in Critical Quantitative, Computational, andMixed Methods Training for Underrepresented Scholars [3], 2) a Meta-Analysis ResearchInstitute (MMARI) to improve the quality of meta-analyses conducted in STEM education byproviding training to

The project of liberation is the project of daring to imagine.IntroductionTeaching takes place in a physical space with configured interactions of the instructor with thestudents. The traditional mode of education presupposes the instructor as an authority“depositing” knowledge into the “clean-slates” (students’ minds), who in turn regurgitate thatdeposited (memorized) knowledge in assessments. This is described as the banking concept ofeducation by Freire [1]. This model discourages creative engagement of the student with theworld and encourages uncritical acceptance of the oppressive power structures. This process
