Finally, we discusshow to foster the growth of first-year students to ensure that they are well rounded and successfulin moving forward in their careers.IntroductionAnnually thousands of students enter first-year engineering, each having their own distinctpersonality type. They are then taught by instructors using pedagogical methods that work forstandardized groups but are rarely modified for individual students. This can become a concernwith

. At the start ofthe course, students are introduced to the ethical conduct standards and practices published bythe IEEE and ACM14, which they are expected to follow throughout the course.While some courses simply download programs onto a student’s existing computer platform,simulating a penetration test is more involved. Rather than simply providing students with acompiled list of security tools, it’s important to provide a structured lab environment in whichstudents can safely practice and develop information security techniques. For the first two weeksof the course, students receive instruction on how to set up a VMWare virtual environmentwhich is used for the rest of the course, including a review of basic programming techniques ageneral

The main reason for this is thatethics and design require context and complexity in order to properly demonstrate the disorderand unrestrained environment of real-world problems. With specific regards to ethics, casestudies can show a student that being a good person does not necessarily mean analyzing anethical issue will be easy for them9. With respect to engineering design, case studies provide amore realistic problem: students may have missing information, a broader scope to consider, orpotential issues arising from a certain situation.Engineering science coursesThere is equal value in incorporating case studies into

Sciences in the groundbreaking 2004 report entitled The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, successful engineers in the 21st century should exhibit key attributes to ensure their success and the success of the engineering profession. The list of key attributes are: strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism; dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, and the ability to become lifelong learners [1]. The project described in this paper is motivated by the results and findings of these reports. Our project exposes a pool of STEM undergraduate students to research
