pervasive computing of the IoT. There is a growing imperative to incorporate cybersecuritytraining for both cyber-physical systems (CPS) and IoT technologies into EE education. Astechnologies like smart grids, control systems, and IoT devices become increasingly integral toindustrial innovation, it is essential to educate future engineers on designing, analyzing, andsecuring these systems against cyber threats. Recognizing and addressing vulnerabilities ininterconnected smart grid systems and IoT networks is crucial for maintaining security andeffectiveness. Ensuring the security and IoT networks is paramount, as vulnerabilities in theseinterconnected systems can have far-reaching consequences. To meet this demand, variousinnovative approaches and

It is of greatimportance to all engineering disciplines, and yet as educators we are given little guidance onhow best to develop engineering judgement in our students. However, it is not always clearthat students have sufficiently developed their judgement by the time they graduate. As such,more work needs to be done in understanding both how engineering judgement can bedeveloped and the obstacles in place that often prevent

If the computational-based content has a more direct relation to theengineering profession and later engineering courses, students would be exposed to basicconcepts of future courses and have an early understanding of these relevant engineering topics.This research aims to present data which shows the effects that a computational-based first-yearengineering course can have on student preparation for later engineering courses. This researchis based on four years of data collection regarding how the computational-based spring semesterfirst year course CE 113 (Civil Engineering Analysis) has impacted student performance inPhysics 1, Statics, and Mechanics of Materials.

impactful attacks faced by SMBs?” This allows us tocenter the scope of our research on the most frequent and impactful attacks. This is done in orderto maximize the area of coverage with as little workforce as possible, due to the limited nature ofan SMB. Our research found that, the most frequent attacks are phishing/social engineering,malware/ransomware, and web-based attacks (Section 3.1).Third. “How can the workforce be equipped with the necessary knowledge, and skills to applythe best practices?” This helps us incorporate the NICE Framework as a bridge between theworkforce and the best practices by mapping the TKSA to the most frequent attacks.

This study helped us identify important factorsthat supported our pedagogical design, which is specific to our local context. These include theinterest and knowledgeability of the instructional staff in the sociotechnical content (e.g.sustainability, policy, design ethics

factors that influence student performance inter-act with each other and are able to predict student success, educators can be more informed aboutthe profiles of their students to provide the best learning pathways for individual needs. While thereare many different potential factors that can be used in predicting student success, predeterminedfactors will be best for early intervention and identification of students at risk of low performance.Therefore, this research analyzes the factors that influence students’ success in exam performanceat the beginning of a CS1 course. Consequently, our research questions are: • How do GPA, Gender, and PPE impact performance in an introductory programming course? • Do these factors interact in ways

A key element indeveloping this perspective is acquiring an appreciation of, and respect for, other cultures. Webelieve the best way to do this is through a

Projects will be assessed by a team of faculty and graduate students who are notresponsible for the course using a cognitive domain rubric. In addition, students will be asked tocomplete a survey that both addresses the cognitive domain as well as the affective domain relatedto the connections between concepts in materials science and their professional goals.

This is notnecessarily the case, as barriers to change for STEM faculty have been researched and

FCI was created in an effort to transform large-enrollment introductory courses or introductory courses that have a high-impact on the studentpopulation at the University of Michigan. Through systematic inquiry, purposeful exploration ofideas, and thoughtful implementation, courses are redesigned with the intention of producingstudent success.
