longer used theexcuse of lack of knowledge or lack of expectations as a defense when confronted about theacademic integrity violation [4]. Since the premiere of the video, one of the authors at NC Statehas developed additional resources in the area of academic integrity, including suggested syllabuslanguage, a reflection assignment, discussion prompts for a discussion of ethical behavior, anassignment cover sheet, and a form to prohibit students from sharing copyrighted course content[5]. As a result of these changes to the MEB course at NC State University, the number of cheatingincidents has decreased by 50% over pre-intervention numbers, and almost all students who areconfronted with evidence of their violation have chosen to accept
out undesired experiences in eachdepartment based on social consensus.MethodsBefore conducting this study, an ethics protocol was submitted and accepted by the research ethicsboard of the institution (ID: 36998). An online survey was distributed to engineering doctoralcandidates across engineering departments at [name withheld] in early 2019. The survey questionswere intended to collect information about the demographics of candidates (i.e., home department,year taken, type of exam, etc.) as well as their perceived experiences and thoughts on the purposeand utility of the CQ exam. The survey was pilot tested by 3 external reviewers, points ofclarification were noted, and survey questions were adjusted accordingly and finalized once theauthors

professional skills.Scholarly journal articlesThere are scholarly journal articles that report results of surveys of employers and alumni onwhich skills are most important for early-career engineers. Most of these articles are not specificto ME. Many of the following articles are discussed in Ref. [17].Tryggvason et al. report on a major revision of the ME curriculum at the University of Michigan[18]. This revision was informed by a survey taken in 1993 in which alumni rated courses andtopics based on their importance; design and creativity, technical communication, interpersonalskills, and professional ethics were rated as the most important; alumni also stated that they werenot as well-prepared in these areas as they were in traditional ME technical
intervention:Traditionally, engineering has been viewed purely as a technical problem-solvingdiscipline [11], pushing engineers into the real world with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.Consequently, advanced technological solutions to problems around the world are beingcarried out with little understanding of the solution’s local economic, social, and/orenvironmental impacts. To bring about social justice and sustainability throughengineering solutions, values and ethics must be at the forefront of current engineeringcurricula. A socio-technical project-based learning model is implemented in this course[12] with contextualized design problems.

Feisel and Rosa outline13 potential learning objectives that include instrumentation, models, and data analysis, but alsocreativity, ethics, and sensory awareness [1]. Educators across science and engineering areworking on shifting from cookbook laboratories to more authentic scientific experiences [2-4].Round and Lom describe a “continuum of autonomy, responsibility, and immersion” in labexperiences, with cookbook labs at the lowest level and apprenticeship in a research lab at thehighest level [5].The integration of lecture and laboratory experiences is effective for linking the theoretical andpractical and for increasing student

the developmental efforts presented in our paper.A representative design spine-like curriculum in our department is shown inFigure 1.In summary, from past efforts in the arena of capstone design curriculum development, thefollowing general aspects are noteworthy: 1. Importance of student working in teams, formed through a mix of knowledge and interest. 2. Project topics that represent real-world situations. 3. Division of the design course into a more theory learning phase the project execution phase. 4. Systematic structure with an emphasis on professionalism and ethics. 5.

The most common types of CTFs are:Jeopardy: In this type of contest, teams have to solve a set of challenges from diverse areas suchas Cryptography, Forensics Reverse engineering etc.Attack-Defense: As the name suggests, this is an attack, Defense game meaning some teams tryto attack and the other teams try to defend from attacks.Mixed Competitions: Change formats.CTF competitions train the participants to protect their systems from cyber attacks.

implies consistency across multiple courses, larger course sizes and different subject types,such as Math or Ethics, are needed to validate the preliminary findings and the proposedapproach. Looking farther into the future, research involving this approach as a tutoring style couldbe beneficial for students who are struggling in a traditionally implemented course. Conversely,for implementing this method, resources such as trained tutors can offer a different teachingstyle, online references and homework, or in-class exercises can be used to supplement thispedagogy in order to provide assurance that every possibility of education has been met.

course was complete using several qualitative methods: an anonymous on-line open-ended survey, a semi-structured focus group interview, individual interviews with students, the instructor and teaching assistants, and document analysis of student course work. The instructor was also asked to communicate his learning objectives in written form, and we took anecdotal field notes during our initial meetings when we discussed the possibility and implementation of the study. Two consecutive cohorts of students (N=80 per cohort) were invited to participate from two course offerings: Winter 2013 and Winter 2014.
