[1,2]. In 2018, 57% ofAmerican students in eighth grade indicated that they had taken or were taking one or moreclasses related to engineering or technology, an increase from 52% in 2014 [3]. Engineering maybe taught as a stand-alone topic or integrated with other STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields [1]. As a result, many students entering engineering majorsin college are likely to have some knowledge and/or preconceptions about engineering. It isimportant that from the beginning, students understand the important role of ethics inengineering.Engineering ethics includes both microethics and macroethics. Microethics encompassesindividual responsibilities (such as avoiding bribery and issues such as cheating in an

Cybersecurity with a Self-Learning KitAbstractThere is an exponential growth in the number of cyber-attack incidents resulting in significantfinancial loss and national security concerns. Secure cyberspace has been designated as one ofthe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges in engineering. Broadly, thesecurity threats are targeted on software programs, operating system and network with theintention to launch confidentiality, integrity and availability violations. Existing undergraduateand graduate-level cybersecurity education curriculum rely primarily on didactic teachingmethods with little focus on student centered, inquiry-based teaching, known to improve studentlearning. With growing number of security incidents taking place, it

Instruction on each topic in the curriculum begins with a shortactive learning lecture about a particular method or tool. In these lectures, exemplars producedby the instructor or sampled from prior student work are presented to the students. The classengages in an open discussion about what makes each piece a success or failure. Followingthis period, the instructor or TA gives a demonstration of how to execute the relevanttechnique/tool, including methods of operation, and displays of best and worst practices.Students then rehearse the technique/tool in class or a scheduled out-of-class workshop

require a paradigm shift in re-conceptualizing their role as a teacher. Due to this difficulty, tapping both individual andcollective capacity are best within the context of professional learning communities (PLCs),which are characterized by shared norms and values, reflective dialogue, de-privatization ofpractice, collective focus on student learning, and collaboration. These PLCs set the foundation,so teachers can begin inquiry into their practice in a new way for increased student learning.The integration of Professional Learning Communities and Project-Based Learning serve toaddress the issues discussed above. Currently, the North Texas STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Math) Center is collaborating with the Waco Independent School

Integration of computing with the content matter of each class is important so thatcomputing does not feel like an extraneous task irrelevant to CEE. The integration part is nottrivial and as it has been mentioned by others [11] it takes some trial and error, because whatworks for one discipline or institution might not be exactly transferrable to another one.Computing needs be presented in terms of its underlying presence in almost everything in anengineer’s daily experience, in context, and as a tool that involves use of computers for solvingproblems and understanding

Multiple attempts at infusing EM have beenexplored and developed throughout recent years, including into first year engineering programs,capstone courses, elective courses, and other core technical courses. However, much of theshared faculty-examples of the new EM-infused content involves adding or revising an existingterm project, or revision of an entire course completely. These large time-investments in EM canbe effective, but faculty may be hesitant to alter their courses so substantially. By identifyingsingle-class opportunities to integrate pedagogically-sound practices that meet both EM andABET outcomes, faculty can excite their students

A Foucault’s Pendulum refers to a heavy massswinging about a relatively high pivot point, where the inertial plane of the pendulum’s swingrotates over time. This rotation of the plane is called precession. Due to the Earth’s rotation, theprecession is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the
