assigned post-studio work, due during the followingweek.The course concluded with a large design project that combined technical course content withcreative thinking. Students were asked to design and program their own interactive game whilefulfilling a set of technical criteria. Students were also free to work individually or with a partner,and no restriction was set on the theme or type of game. This course format was offered again inspring 2016 to a much smaller class size. The spring class is offered primarily for students whodid not successfully complete the fall session, or for some legitimate reason missed the previoussession(s).Following the conclusion of semester, students were asked to provide feedback via a quantitativeand qualitative
four students each were instructed to brainstorm several business opportunitiesrelevant to the biomechanics field. The proposed ideas could provide either a product or service.Teams were to identify potential customers for their ideas. Students then assessed the merits andpotential impact (to the customer(s) and society at large) of their initial ideas. Over the course ofseveral weeks, the teams continued to refine their concepts by performing market analysis toconsider resources needed (costs, personnel, facilities, manufacturing, distribution, etc.),intellectual property protections, and an understanding of their competition. This iterativeprocess continued for a couple weeks offline until the teams selected their preferred businessidea.At
throughout the academic cycle. “...students frequently question their identity, relationships, direction and worth during transition to school which produces turmoil and crisis. Stress of relocation, separation from family and friends, new people, academic challenges, discrepancy between expectations and reality, loneliness, and lack of support all significantly relate to attrition” (Lee, D., Olson, E. A., Locke, B. Michelson S. T. & Odes E, 2009, p. 5).Students past the initial transition face stressors related to making progress in research orprojects, successfully completing academic milestones, and job hunting. Even the most resilientstudents can be negatively impacted by these stressors. In the worst case

the types of cryptographic algorithms. In the beginning, aka the70’s, a cryptographic method was developed called the Data Encryption Standard (DES). Thisencryption algorithm consisted of a 54-bit key using the hardware that was available then. Thiswas more than enough encryption to protect files and communication. Technology quicklyadvanced and far surpassed the capabilities of the systems that were encrypted with DES. Thismethod is no longer considered an acceptable method of encryption. This is because it would betrivial for a mediocre computer by today’s standards to break this encryption.With the loss of integrity in the DES algorithm, a variant was conceived that used a three 56-bitnumbered key. This method is considered reasonably
