must understand the risks involved and how to best reduce the potential impact of these risks;and project managers must understand the cost/benefit tradeoffs involved with implementing securesystems. The field of security is large and rapidly changing, and one could easily offer multiple courseson computer security. However, we propose to integrate basic concepts into the undergraduatecurriculum. These are the topics we feel should be addressed:1. Security Literacy: a basic understanding of security terms2. Security risks: a basic understanding of what is at risk (confidentiality, integrity, availability) andthreat sources (such as connectivity, physical threats, etc.)3. Spoofing: email and IP address spoofing4. Reconnaissance software: packet

with a traditional lecturemodel. One major aspect of the new course is a scenario based experience in that the student isimmersed into a realistic project and interacts with characters. The storyline presented is one inwhich the student plays the role of a new engineer working for a company that is bidding on anddeveloping a light rail system to connect three cities. As students progress through a series ofPowerPoint presentations, they are introduced to various systems engineering topic areas viadifferent subject matter experts. These experts “talk” to the student and explain their area ofexpertise and how it relates to systems engineering on the light rail system. Students mustoccasionally answer questions during these exchanges within the

In this pilot year the program welcomed 268th–10th grade students aged 13-16 (10 girls, 16 boys); all but one were from local area schools,and many were from disadvantaged rural schools (schools in areas with a high percentage oflow-income families and/or having limited course offerings in upper-level mathematics andscience in the high school).

Laboratory Course1. IntroductionNanomaterials, nanotechnology and nanoscience play a key role in the advancement of moderntechnologies in sensors, medicine, renewable energies, and more. Globally, governments andindustries have made significant investments in this field both intellectually and economically. Inthe United States, federal funding agencies have invested tens of billions of dollars on R&D andcommercialization of nano-products as well as understanding of the social environmentalimpacts.1 The National Science Foundation (NSF) projected that the nanotechnology sector willemploy 6 million workers by 2020 and over 80% of the jobs will require trained workforces innanoscience and nanotechnology.2 To meet the projected future demand, it

Designcommunication documents are similar to explanatory writing in that one must analyze multipleinformation sources and subsequently make decisions based upon this analysis. Furthermore,designers must deal with conflicting information, questionable data sources, and advancedtechnical topics.The front-end phases of design (problem definition, development of user requirements, andtranslation to engineering specifications) require a particularly large amount of informationprocessing because one is just beginning to understand the design problem and must gain a deepunderstanding

Our analysis revealed that allteams carried their heuristic-inspired concepts to their latter stage designs, with seven teamscarrying their heuristic-inspired concepts to their final designs and prototypes. As all eight teamsstudied were working on different design problems, our findings demonstrate the utility andpracticality of Design Heuristics across various design contexts. In addition, we found patterns inthe design teams’ general approaches to the design process, including synthesis, transformation,and abstraction. Seven of the eight teams showed some evidence of concept synthesis in theirdesign processes, but often struggled in synthesizing multiple concepts together. Additionally, allteams seemed to directly transfer
