Recent estimatesindicate that the shortage of adequately educated and trained cybersecurity workers will continueinto the foreseeable future [1], [2]. This lack of adequately trained resources has severeimplications for national security and economic growth, as every business these days relies oncyber and its related infrastructure [3], [4]. This critical shortage has resulted in efforts fromvarious sectors (e.g., Government, Industry, Academia) being accelerated and given a highpriority for resources and funding [5]. There is now a

Students are introduced to basic neuroscience principles and use these concepts to design, build, and optimize a prototype of a sensory-substitution device on circuit boards. They present their models on a scientific poster. https://centerforneurotech.uw.edu/education-k-12-lesson- plans/circuitry-and

In particular, incorporating design courses early has been shown tohelp with retention rates in engineering, as well as with improved ability of students to solve open-ended problems [1, 2]. These courses have also shown student progress in academic achievementby helping to build confidence in their engineering skills, and by expanding their perspective onproblems and solutions [3, 4].

Engineering curricula mustcontinuously change to prepare students for industry needs [2], and universities should alignwhat they teach to the most demanded skills required in the workforce [3]. However, this isnot always the case, and empirical evidence has shown a gap between the undergraduateengineering program's skills taught and industry needs [4-6]. Several studies have revealedthe gap in water-related undergraduate programs [7], and such a gap can stand in the way ofmeeting the needs of the water and wastewater industry [8].

From 2002 to 2012, tuition, fees, and textbook prices increased at a rate of 3 times therate of inflation [1]. These increasing costs and a complex financial aid system contribute tostudents taking longer to earn a degree or to leave school without a degree [2]. One way todecrease textbook cost is to use open educational resources (OER), which are licensed in a waythat allow everyone to engage in the “5R activities”: retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute[3
