Apart fromsupporting Criterion 3 student outcomes, the PBL-based course offering also contributes tomeeting the Criterion 5 (Curriculum [8]) and applicable Program Criteria [8] requirements suchas project management, public safety, professional and ethical responsibilities, and quality andcontinuous improvement.Student CommentsThe process of developing, implementing, and testing a project from scratch for the first timewas a valuable experience for most students. The majority of students were pleased with theproject management structure, though a few suggested that the project duration be extended tofour weeks (instead of the currently allocated three weeks), to help them transition into thesemester-long capstone design
opportunities. Students were engaged inintroductory research tasks as a bigger team to establish a baseline of basic cybersecurity knowledgeand research framework. Then, they were grouped into teams. The team approach was used toreflect a “real-world” work environment where student develop their ability to collaborate on a teamand function as both leaders and team members. In addition to hands-on work in the laboratory,students participated in weekly meetings centered on different topics of interest to undergraduates.These meetings included guest speakers who presented on different research topics and jobopportunities in their fields, lessons on how to read research papers, the responsible conduct ofresearch/ethics, how to apply to graduate school

The prototype tool aims to operate within the currentNDMS processes and hospital systems to advance patient care, specifically servingconflict-related casualties. The intent is to contribute to existing literature on patient triagedecision-making methods.Scope and Limitations:The scope of this project is limited to casualties expected to result from a conventional war witha near-peer adversary outside the United States. Also, the scope is restricted to the patientdistribution

Study participants and study context This study is action research that focuses on the study sheet strategy used by the instructor of a required second-year engineering course, “Engineered Systems in Society”. Study sheet and exam grades were collected from thirty-three students which they prepared for Spring 2023 mid-semester examinations. The course incorporatescontemporary readings, team projects, and experiential learning to enhance students’ conceptual and practicalunderstanding of socio-technical systems. The use of systems thinking concepts and tools are used to help studentsframe socio-technical problems with an emphasis on stakeholder perspectives and ethical decision making within ahistorical and contemporary context
