reliable and efficient process and are widely taught in manyengineering curricula. Recent developments in software and computing power enable near-real-time FE simulations that allow students to quickly explore different iterations of their designs.Material selection is another integral part of the product design cycle and should be considered inthe design process, ideally alongside the modeling. Balancing objectives and constraints to findthe material that best meets the design criteria requires both an understanding of the product’s finalapplication as well as materials science fundamentals. One challenge with combining materialsselection and FE modeling is they are often taught separately, which can lead to one of the areasbeing underutilized

Integration (CMMI) is the culmination of an effort to define thestages that software organizations pass through as they gain better and better control overtheir processes. The effort was kicked off by the US Department of Defense and undertakenby the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. The originalproduct that most software developers are familiar with is CMM and it was designed tomeasure the process maturity of a software development organization.In the 1990’s, a veritable galaxy of quality frameworks emerged and CMM was divided intoversions for software development (SW-CMM) and versions for software engineering(SECM) and product development (IPD-CMM).

However, more study is necessary to evaluate instructiontechniques for professional skills in technical courses. Much of the evidence on effectiveness issecondary evidence. Active learning techniques is one instructional method that shows promise as an excellentmeans for professional skill instruction. More effort is necessary to fully develop this methodand integrate it in the engineering curriculum. In addition, for effective instruction, engineering faculty should receive additional trainingin professional skills, or efforts should be made to

through smartdevices, users are increasingly exposed to cyber-crimes. Due to the limited training oncybersecurity and cyber-safe practices, young adults are especially an easy target for thesecybercrimes. It is also well-known that there is a need to enhance organizations’ cybersecuritycapabilities while spreading cybersecurity awareness among the masses. To the former cause,degree programs have been established throughout the US to train the workforce; however, theyhave proved insufficient. Therefore, we propose developing and integrating plug-and-playmodules for CS/CSE undergraduate courses at various levels to develop a security mindset amongthese students and inculcate interest in a cybersecurity career.

While research in college retention has focused on integration into the university,research in engineering retention has focused more on integration into the engineering culture;thereby making ENGR 111 an ideal mechanism for addressing the first-year interest barrier.

used towards this effort.The common curriculum approaches include offering business-oriented courses and/or offering aminor in entrepreneurship. However, the engineering programs at our university are already verypacked and there are limited elective credits available for courses in entrepreneurship.Furthermore, being a small private university, it is also a challenge to find faculty members withrequisite expertise in entrepreneurship. To overcome these constraints, we employ an innovativecurricular model that is based on integrating short e-learning modules into existing engineeringcourses. Content experts around the country were invited to develop these modules. As a result,the curricular approach we have adopted involves the following
