The course is a designated project-based and active learningcourse by the college. Students were led through a review of reading assignments, case studies,and

In this study, the Q-sort statements related to multiplefacets of cybersecurity, from its inclusion of differing groups to its academic rigor to itsemphasis on policy. The full list of statements was developed based on curricular guidelines andjob information, and then vetted by cybersecurity faculty involved with the project.

talk or traditional lecture.IntroductionIncreasing emphasis has been placed on the engineering education community to implementstudent-centered pedagogies which can increase retention and offer the students a more authentic(“real-world”) experience. These pedagogies have proven to be more effective than thetraditional “chalk-and-talk” passive lecture methods, and include challenge-based learning (e.g.,problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based learning, inquiry-based learning [1])and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share, quick think, jigsaw, andgallery walk). All of these learning methods excel in student learning of content as well as avariety of process skills such as critical thinking

This has a direct parallel to the collegiate classroom, as instruc-tors aim to inspire mastery over a topic to their students through a variety of methods (homeworkproblems, examinations, projects, etc.) and teach them the corresponding skillsets from feedbackon these assignments. Machine Teaching (MT) research, on the other hand, aims at making theteacher more productive by using their own cognitive models to improve the quality of the dataholistically. Again, this has a corresponding counterpart to current teaching pedagogies; the in-structor decides on the details of an assignment from their own knowledge and experience withthe end goal of having students retain the

interests are diversity, gender equity, retention, project-based learning, cognitive models of problem-solving, and making engineering textbooks more accessible and innovative for students. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Student Earnestness in Online Circuit Analysis Textbook When Answer is AvailableAbstract:Engineering courses increasingly use online learning materials, especially in response to theCOVID-19 pandemic and the growth in online classes. Online textbooks often have interactivecomponents such as different types of quiz questions which may allow students to reveal theanswer when stuck. These interactive components attempt to engage students
in project management[24, 25]. However, does appealing to similar interests account for the high occurrence ofincoming Computer Science or Chemical Engineering transfers? ConclusionThis work is not intended to explain why students transfer between degree programs in the waysthat they do. Rather, this enhances the understanding of where students are coming from andgoing to when the transfers occur. Without this knowledge, it can be difficult to appropriatelysupport students who find themselves in a degree program they do not enjoy, for one reason oranother. By knowing what common transfer paths are, educators can guide their students to makeinformed decisions in their educational journeys. This
