However, these service experiences have not been integrated intothe engineering curriculum. The motivation to integrate engineering majors into this particularservice learning project is to demonstrate to engineering students that: - engineering careers can provide great benefit to local communities, - although just starting college studies, first-year engineers can mentor youth who may never have

Although metacognition is key for students’ self-directedlearning, explicit instruction in metacognitive skills has been rarely integrated into engineeringprograms. One notable exception has been the Iron Range Engineering program (IRE).

From observations of high school cybersecuritycompetitions, we find that typical high school cybersecurity competitions focus narrowly oncomputer-technical competencies. A byproduct of these competitions is to create an intimidatingatmosphere that rewards young adults who are already proficient in computer IT activities, but adiscouraging environment to students who may have burgeoning interests in cybersecurity.Additionally, the skill set needed for cybersecurity
