engineers are critical to continued infrastructure investment, growth, and development.Currently, an estimated 307,570 people are employed in civil engineering jobs across the U.S.[1], and approximately 21,500 domestic degrees in civil engineering were awarded in 2020 and2021 [2], [3]. Similarly, 21,200 civil engineering job openings are projected each year due toworkers who transfer or retire from 2022 to 2032 [4] but an additional 883,600 jobs areanticipated due to the impact of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by 2030 [5]. Withoutintervention, these conditions will lead to an increasing shortage of civil engineeringprofessionals, resulting in delays in infrastructure updates and negative economic impacts [6].This paper discusses one

IntroductionLearning information security can be challenging for new students, regardless of their background.Various factors contribute to the complexity of the field. Information security is filled with technicalterminology and acronyms, which can be rough for new students to understand. Also, understandingcomputer networking, software execution, and operating systems is crucial for comprehendinginformation security concepts[1].

Taba, a student of Dewey's, expanded the field of progressivelearning by introducing inductive and creative learning techniques.2 Students were encouraged toorganize related concepts from two or more diverse fields of learning, into groups. Ackerman,Perkins and Jacobs3 put forth very strong arguments in favor of a combination of discipline-specific as well as complementary inter-disciplinary learning. Furthermore, they emphasized theimportance of interweaving skills and knowledge-based content in the learning process.Today, many university programs try to integrate

Model ElicitingActivities are open-ended realistic problems constructed around a few main concepts1-8. Originallydeveloped by mathematics educators, and used at the pre-college level, we have been refocusingMEAs for use in upper division engineering courses.
