Students also choose technical areas toresearch, and work in groups to develop research proposals, patent applications, and businessplans. As a result, students learn to apply ethical perspectives and consider the full implicationsof unethical practices, develop valuable professional competencies, communicate with a diverseset of stakeholders and audiences, and identify a technical area of interest and work as a group tocreate and present a technology development proposal and business plan that meets a communityneed.The assignments and projects in the PFE course series directly address ABET Outcomes 4 and 5.The professional

environments[28], [29]; however, it has been shown to present assessment challenges [30].While peer learning can take many forms, in the computational science disciplines andcybersecurity, it often will be conducted in a project- or problem-based learning (PBL)environment. In these environments, students are presented with (or may self-select) a problemor challenge to solve or a project (e.g., software development) to complete. The efficacy of PBLhas been demonstrated at multiple levels of education [31]–[36]. It has also been shown to beeffective in numerous disciplines. Examples of the effective use of PBL can be found incomputer science [37] and electrical [38] engineering. It has also been demonstrate to beeffective in non-STEM disciplines such as

Understand the importance of the Fourier Spectrum for developing useful signal analysis algorithms and systems. 2. Develop a speaker-independent vowel classification system to distinguish the 5 long vowel sounds for a
