There is a shortage of nearly three million cybersecurity professionals and staff. Almost60% of organizations report that they are at an extreme or moderate cyber risk due to the high staff shortage[1].

rote learning because students can rapidly useknowledge to solve an issue at hand while internalizing the minimal amount of essential andrelevant information. Because they do not have to repeat the same material in several areas,integrated content also frees up students' time to study new information. This improves thinkingspeed and turns the brain into a programming machine rather than making learning dull. Apartfrom obtaining engagement for learners’ interdisciplinary integration has some advantages forinstructors as well. Teachers are familiar with interdisciplinary information in their subject areas,making it simple to synthesize and condense knowledge into primary ideas that are distinct fromone another and are easy to visualize
can result in a lack ofreinforcement in learning and poor development of communication skills. Given the challengeshighlighted above, there exists a clear need for more curricular based, college-level STEAM-integrated coursework and interventions to expose engineering students to cross-disciplinaryproblems, further inculcating innovation and creativity development within the collegeexperience.1.3 Proposed SolutionHere, in this exploratory work, we examine the effect of an entrepreneurially mindset-focused,bioinspired STEAM-based intervention in a core curriculum, mid-level bioengineering course onphysiology. By targeting students in a mid-level course, we offer an opportunity for students toapply STEAM-based experiential learning in a

A similar study was conducted by Krishnan et al. [11] has also revealed theimportance of curriculum infusion and guided reflections in helping students develop interculturalcompetence. Both studies have emphasized that curriculum integration is an effective and moreeconomical method to impart intercultural learning. The prior studies [1], [4] conducted at theintersection of STEM and intercultural competence have revealed that infusing the concepts ofintercultural competence in pedagogy and allowing the students to reflect on their experiences

Of the students entering theMS program from the certificate program, up to 60% have non-STEM undergraduate majors.The university’s objective to increase graduate enrollment has driven the CS department to offermore courses to meet the educational needs of this population.Researchers sought to determine whether a new robotics programming course could assist non-STEM undergraduate majors pursuing a graduate CS degree and underrepresented populations intransitioning to CS.

Engineering Ethics for First Year Engineering StudentsThis Work-in-Progress paper stems from an NSF-sponsored project in which a series of game-based activities have been developed for the purpose of enhancing instruction in engineeringethics. These activities have been integrated into first year engineering courses on severalcampuses. One of these activities is called Toxic Workplaces. In gameplay, the students arepresented with scenarios that involve ethical dilemmas. Each scenario comes with severalpossible responses. The game involves the student/player attempting to rank these possibleresponses in order of popularity. Thus, players do not necessarily need to take a position on whatthey themselves would do, but rather are attempting to match the

However, more study is necessary to evaluate instructiontechniques for professional skills in technical courses. Much of the evidence on effectiveness issecondary evidence. Active learning techniques is one instructional method that shows promise as an excellentmeans for professional skill instruction. More effort is necessary to fully develop this methodand integrate it in the engineering curriculum. In addition, for effective instruction, engineering faculty should receive additional trainingin professional skills, or efforts should be made to

To address this gap, we have developed four online learning modules focused onthe topic of additive manufacturing which are deployed in our university’s learning managementsystem. These modules can be incorporated into manufacturing and design courses throughoutthe engineering curriculum. The covered topics include an introduction to engineering standards,an introduction to standards in additive manufacturing, how
