Even though the chief engineer in the project selects the final point of design, this process requires a full collaborative effort of every individual in the team. With such an effort, arduous feats can be accomplished through the contribution of critical thinkers organized to achieve specific objectives. References1. Anderson, Lorin W., and David R. Krathwohl.

course was developed about ten years ago to address the concern that wedid not have a connection with these students until their sophomore year. The original goal ofthe freshman course was to teach students the early portions of the sophomore year DC circuitscourse at a relaxed pace. The course has evolved over the recent years to respond to students'lack of informal technical and tooling backgrounds by adding more project-based labexperiences, including activities in the microcontroller and digital circuits areas. Students whoentered the program with such backgrounds, as was the case for the 2+2 structure, seemed to bealready motivated by their previous technical experiences.

of peer interaction when theinstructor is engaged with another student. Often, when a teacher in a computer lab stops to assist one student, thatteacher is totally engaged with helping that student address his/her issue. While the instructor is engaged in this way,other students can only wait for assistance or question their peers—this may or may not be encouraged in class andthat peer may not be the best student for the individual to query.To address the benefit of peer assistance, many computer science courses have seen a rise in the number ofeducators opting to use "pair programming" as a means of teaching students and staff [9].

The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well.

EducationThere is also a space provided for written comments. The potential exists for students tobe painfully honest about their experiences. This part of the survey could also beconstrued as a popularity poll for professors. If the students are honest in theirevaluation, then the possibility exists for the department chair to get a good assessment ofthe faculty and identify any areas or professors that need improvement. As BaylorUniversity places in importance on quality teaching, this is of utmost importance.The fourth page asks the students to assess the faculty overall, department staff,engineering facilities overall, and the engineering equipment overall. The scale rangesfrom “needs improvement” to “outstanding”. The rest of the survey consists of
