How clear are the three EM frameworks, measured by challenges identified when attempting to utilize ambiguous or overly-specific EM learning objectives when measuring the EM content of courses?To answer these questions, three curricula were identified: first-year engineering laboratorycoursework, a third-year technical project designed with EM in mind, and a multidisciplinarysenior capstone course. These courses were chosen to span the entire career of an engineeringstudent, from first-year to senior capstone, to give a more complete dataset. Each curriculumthen

Provide graduate students to instruct in the areas of` mobile application development, forensics and cyber Security. 2. Provide CS one-on-one mentors for students while conducting their work-based learning experience in Computer Science. 3. Assign hands-on interdisciplinary projects that emphasize the importance of STEM fields when using and developing software applications. 4. Promote and develop soft skills among participants including leadership, communications skills, and teamwork.The proposal was funded, by DOE and the summer camps were conducted in the summer of

One of the novel approaches taken by the PPI was the elimination of course-basedobjectives, and the adoption of competency-based goals in their place.
