In light of these considerations, wehave approached this challenge by restructuring an existing course which already had beensuccessfully structured to address engineering ethics concepts central to the nature and causes ofengineering failure, by expanding the course via the logical integration of case studies and otheractivities focused on the impact of diversity and inclusivity (or rather the lack thereof) on failuresin development, deployment and use of technology.Effective design or redesign of a course is not a simple matter – in fact, redesign of an

The objective of the first-year engineering curriculum is to provide an opportunity for students to explore engineering disciplines so that students can make informed decisions about their careers. So, these two courses achieve the goal of training these students for their second year of the degree program.5. Role of Administration: It was noted earlier that the regional campuses get limited funding to run the campus businesses. However, there is a process of submitting a budget to the central campus. Engineering coordinators submit the budget each year to the fiscal office. The purchases made for the lab supplies and equipment have to go through the university

To address this deficit, concerted effortswere made to recruit and retain females in the cybersecurity industry by providing educational, networking,and mentorship opportunities. As a result, women constitute about twenty-five percent of the male-dominated cybersecurity workforce [3]. Experts in the industry suggest companies can lessen the gendergap in the cybersecurity field by partnering with schools to educate girls, inspiring girls and women topursue technology courses, explicitly marketing career opportunities to women, and promoting women tohigh-level cybersecurity jobs to provide role models for these new workers.

Using avariety of instructional methods will help the students to succeed in different learning modes [13]and increase their learning flexibility [14] [15] which will benefit them in the classroom and intheir careers. Without denying all the benefits of active learning, students also need to becomecapable listeners, note takers, and questioners if they want to successfully participate in projectproposals, planning sessions, and public meetings as engineers.Whether using passive or active instructional methods, motivation matters.

undergraduate degree programs. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the field ofengineering education started to respond to numerous reports that there needed to be changesmade to engineering education. An increased emphasis on synthesis and design, open-endedproblem solving, development of management and communications skills, professionaldevelopment, and career-long learning are all included in this call for change. This response wasin reaction to a perceived need to correct a multiple decades long emphasis on engineeringscience that occurred post-World War II tilting the engineering education field away fromengineering practice and the new realities of a global economy that demanded skill sets notemphasized at the time [13]. Several new initiatives drove
