semester. This measuremay be a different kind of success measure. If students, who are going to leave, do so earlier intheir academic careers, they tend to take less time to graduate. Whether this measure indicatesgreater eventual success on the part of the students who leave engineering earlier is one of thepotential outcomes that will be examined in future work.Table 5 gives performance indicators for students who have not yet reached the six year mark.There are no comparison statistics calculated for this group yet, but, if the differences observedturn out to be statistically significant, there may be early indication that changes in theprogramming have had different effects.

of the detailed connection, students’ drawings were missing welds, bolts, andplates, incorrectly orienting plates, and misplacing the knife plate (see Figure 4). Mistakes suchas these led to miscalculations of net area and capacity.The students in this course have taken a class in the beginning of their college careers to teachthem a level of drawing skills. This level of drawing includes the ability to draw generic blockshapes from different perspectives. The level of drawing required in the steel design courseincludes the ability to draw complex cross-sections of floor plans and connections with detailedcomponents like bolts and welds (again, see Figure 3 and Figure 4).After Exam 1, a sketching assignment was assigned to the students
. Languagebarrier is another major obstacle for Chinese students to gain knowledge from courses taught inEnglish using traditional teaching approaches, and demonstrate their understanding in writtenEnglish. In addition, some students at SAVC lack the motivation in learning because IoT waschosen as a career path by their parents instead of themselves. Engaging these students inlearning the knowledge and skills that prepare them for the IoT industry is quite challenging.Under the constraint of faculty availability, all of the above-mentioned nine courses are deliveredin a condensed form. Normally each four-unit course is offered in a three week period, and fiveweeks for each of the six-unit courses. Introduction to the Internet of Things, as a four
trainingSome educators may argue that the existing computer science ethics education does not impactstudent views on algorithm bias and their professional knowledge. Indeed, taking one or possiblytwo engineering ethics courses as part of a degree program may not have a lasting impact onstudents embarking on professional careers. However, alternatives to semester-long ethicscourses may be more effective and impactful. In a systematic literature review on engineeringethics education, Hess13 (2018) suggests integrating micro-insertions of ethical decision-makingacross the curriculum. For example, the micro-insertion of asking students to choose betweentwo refrigerants by weighing not only environmental impacts but also adding costconsiderations14

create a shared product,a process that frequently leads to productive relationships that often result in letters ofrecommendation for jobs and graduate school as well as informal academic and career advising.Additionally, the external mentorship team provides all student participants the opportunity tointeract with both young and established industry engineers that are currently employed in fieldsof interest. These individuals often provide windows into the professional world to the studentswho have yet to enter it as well as a wealth of practical knowledge that can be challenging to findin an academic context. This is particularly true for a liberal arts university such as Harvard, whereprofessional preparation is not as heavily empathized as

However, it was interesting to discover that most studentsthink that such a course should be mandatory and complementary in nature. Confirming theconclusion from question 9, technology-centered courses are a growing demand among today’sID students.The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth questions were designed to gather student opinion abouttechnology-centered courses, consequently IoT at the core. As a crucial part of the IoT, studentswere asked if they think an ID professional needs to know any programming knowledge for asuccessful career.

Theyreported that the group students who engaged in watching lecture videos, taking quizzesand participating in discussion forums showed an overall better performance in theMOOC. In some studies; (Xiong, 2018; Alcarria, 2018) peer assessment is reported as aform of student engagement in MOOCs. However, peer assessment is not related withperformance or achievement rather with student characteristics and behavior as well associal engagement. Williams (2018) reported having learner goals in STEM relatedMOOCs effected student engagement. These goals can be related to interest or use ofinformation in future career. They also report that engagement is measured in terms ofcertification or activity

TheBachelor of Science in Computer Science program was one of the first Bachelor of Scienceprograms implemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has been to provide a qualityprogram that meets accreditation standards while providing the students with a skill set thatallows them to succeed in computing careers.

Engineering major could be taking classesconsistent with a Computer Engineering major and not bother to officially change major untilthe graduating semester. Changes of major early on in a student’s career can have little to noimpact on time to graduation if the majors involve have similar early requirements; forexample, the first two to three semesters for majors in the School of Engineering and ComputerScience all include “Introduction to the School, Major” classes, Calculus, Physics, Programming,Linear Algebra. Calculus and Physics are common to all ECS majors; while the “Introduction tothe Major”, Programming, and Linear Algebra classes differ, the policy is to accept thecompleted version as a replacement for the requirements in the new major due

GovernmentCreating the Foundation for Exploration—Engineering 110Establishing a strong mechanism to support students in the intentional exploration of learningexperiences is integral to the success of the experiential learning framework. In order toaccomplish this, we will leverage Engineering 110, an existing elective course that currentlyserves around 300 students per year (approximately 20% of first-year engineeringstudents). Engineering 110 provides students the opportunity to explore the breadth ofeducational and career opportunities available to engineers.Engineering 110 is engaged in a multiyear redesign process through a University-wide effort totransform high-impact, large-enrollment introductory courses at U-M. Prior to this effort, thecourse was
focus in engineering in education while othersreceive less than ten credit hours. [2]. A study by Kirkpatrick et al. [6][7], concluded that currentengineering education programs put minimal emphasis on professional skills and that givingthese skills a greater focus would be helpful to prepare students for future careers. This, in turn,would make the engineering field more accessible to students. Another study by Holloway et al.evaluated a few KSA (knowledge, skill, and ability) frameworks and reported that theframeworks compared had similar expectations for student outcomes, problem-solving,communication, and teamwork. Given how the ABET framework can put minimal emphasis onprofessional skills, other frameworks could have similar problems. [8

The skills gained by incorporatingthese approaches are critical for students looking to pursue a career in the construction industry.Felder et al. reinforced the notion that active learning is more effective than lecturing as studentscan gain a deeper understanding of the material [4]. They also stressed the importance of practiceand reflection in the learning process. Freeman et al. compared studies focused on undergraduatestudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) that used active learningtechniques and those that used traditional approaches [5]. Average examination scores increasedby 6% in the active learning sections, thus highlighting the importance of active learning inSTEM

The primary goals are: 1) tohave more systems and products with fewer exploits and vulnerabilities, and 2) to increase thenumber of professional individuals who are interested in cybersecurity careers and have the propercybersecurity knowledge and training.One key challenge in implementing and designing cybersecurity exercises in classrooms is havingthe proper
