Scaffolding Reading and Notetaking in a Digital AgeAbstractInnovative engineers depend on technical reading as a primary means of lifelong learning.Several scaffolded course activities encourage the practice of reading and notetaking in acollaborative learning environment. In lower-level courses, students receive brief instruction inHow to Read a Book[1], Cornell notes[2], and Sketchnoting[3]. Student Note assignmentsrequire students to take hand-written notes while reading the textbook and post a picture of theirreading and class notes to an online discussion board. In later courses, students, well trained inthe Student Notes

foregone conclusion, faculty have responded with varying degrees of enthusiasm,resignation, and denial. And as with most issues of pedagogy, there is lively disagreement amonginstructors about whether and how to use LLMs with their students [1][2], with some prohibitingLLM use and others swiftly integrating them into their course assignments [3][4][5].Lagging behind an enthusiastic integration of LLM-based course tools by some in highereducation is a serious discussion of ethical concerns and questions about LLMs themselves; thisfailure may stem in part from a reluctance to voice concerns in the face of institutionalenthusiasm and pressure to “fully embrace” LLMs or risk being labeled a “dinosaur” [1][6].Regardless of cause, this lack of discourse

However, even justinstalling ROS can be a daunting task for the uninitiated. This paper explores options for in-stalling ROS for undergraduate courses, offers recommendations, and points readers towardsadditional guides and resources.2.1 Importance of ROSROS has become a powerful staple of robotics research and development.

CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling

Mapping Systems (MMS) [1]With the recent update on world urbanization prospects [2] indicating that 55% of the globalpopulation resides in urban areas - a figure projected to reach 68% by 2050 - detailed spatialinformation becomes imperative for managing urban development. This necessity aligns with theconcept of smart cities, encompassing diverse definitions but ultimately referring to citiesequipped with intelligent services, extensive structural knowledge, and sustainability [3].MMS emerges as a valuable tool for acquiring spatial data within urban landscapes. Comprisinga set of sensors, these systems can collect data that represents 3D information from various urbanfeatures such as road signs, buildings, and facilities, as presented in
