The communications technologies used for integration are also relatively new and they arestill being evaluated in terms of both functionality and security. The novelty of the technologies,devices and developing best practices lead to an expected shortage of talent in deploying,managing and securing the emerging IOT infrastructures.Academia is in general lagging in delivering education that addresses leading edge technologies.In the case of IoT security, higher-Ed institutions lack the personnel and infrastructure to providestudents with the much-needed knowledge and hands on

As the course materials are already designed and implemented, the redesign would be necessary to judiciously reallocate course time to the topics. c) In AT 44502 Aircraft Electronics, this course is “A study of the computer-based electronic systems used to control both flight and engine parameters on modern aircraft. The course examines the various systems with an emphasis on how each component integrates into the electronic structure of the aircraft [14].” The course would build upon AT 11600, AT 26200, and other courses in the program to examine the use of engine control parameters and integration into

Although STS andother academic fields have begun to take an interest in non-human animals, the topic isthinly addressed in engineering ethics literature. And yet, as the primary source oflearning and training for aspiring engineers, engineering education has a responsibility toinclude in its curriculum ethical considerations of animal welfare in the development anddeployment of new engineered systems, and in existing engineering systems.Resources for a new engineering ethicsA good place to introduce engineering students to the idea of engineering with a focus onethics and animals

for students’ personal actions that foster identification with the disciplinarycommunity [24], [31], [32]. It has since been integrated as a key construct for the development ofan engineering identity due to its critical relevance to students’ decisions of who and what theywant to become [23], [28]. How students understand their interests as consistent with their senseof self is an important consideration as they author their own unique engineering identities [23],[30], [33].In relation to an engineering identity, interest is defined as “a person’s likes, preferences,favorites, affinity toward, or attraction to a subject, topic, or activity [34, p. 1].” Interest isunderstood to consist both of how one feels about something as well as how they

past few years, electrical and electronic systemson seagoing vessels have become highly sophisticated. The efficient operation of modern vesselsdepends upon the operation and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment.

Currently, noinstitution of higher education in the USA is offering an ETO degree. Texas A&M Universitywill be the first to develop and offer such a program. The development and implementation ofthe new electro-technical program at Texas A&M University are discussed in this paper.I. IntroductionToday’s ships are highly automated, so
