An example here is the NSA Centers for Academic Excellence (CAE) in InformationSecurity that focused more on the theoretical aspects of CSEC and not much on the skills andabilities [10]. The next large-scale effort was more international and was spearheaded by theIEEE-CS and ACM and produced the Joint Task Force on Cybersecurity EducationCybersecurity Curriculum Guidelines for Post-Secondary Degree Programs in Cybersecurity(CSEC 2017).

A popular option adopted in many schools[4-11] is the creation and implementation of engineering leadership development programswhich are positioned to supplement the engineering education awarding academic credit,certification, or both. Some of these programs, particularly the Gordon-MIT LeadershipDevelopment Program culminating in certificates of leadership at the undergraduate level[7], the Gordon-Northeastern Leadership Program at the graduate level [14], and the PennState Engineering Leadership Development Minor [4], are successful engineeringleadership models which have been in existence for many years and serve as

The United States saw only 10% of the global science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) bachelor’s degrees in 2018 [1]. About half ofstudents who enter a STEM program do not graduate with a STEM degree; most of thesestudents drop out during their first or second year of college due to the increasing difficulty andcomplexity of STEM programs [2], [3], [4].

However, the NSF scholars will be the strategic focus of theBEATS’ academic and social integration programs that include specialized counseling, mentoring,and professional development but will not exist as a separate S-STEM cohort apart from peers. Tothat end, a collateral project objective is to further develop a more cohesive multiculturalcommunity in which S-STEM low income and “At Risk” scholars can gain a strong sense ofbelonging, self-efficacy, teamwork and collective sense of academic purpose.3) Thirdly, the project team seeks to gain

This definition allows us to consider any object from asimple appliance (like a digital watch) to complex portable integrated devices such as medicalinstrumentation and 4G cellular devices containing gigabytes of memory and a complex operatingsystem supporting a variety of applications.

Other than capstonesenior design classes, each required class collects and analyzes data for only two SO although manycourses address more than two. In the past cycle, the curriculum committee has worked to distributethe SO throughout the program so that there isn’t an imbalance with many courses providing datafor a SO while few courses contributing to another SO. This mapping of SO throughout thecurriculum is evaluated and adjusted at the beginning of an assessment cycle. Overall, each coursehas a reduced documentation load and more faculty become involved in the continuousimprovement process.

Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [2] highlight the importance of including engineering in the K-12 curriculum. Theimplementation of NGSS requires that teachers understand engineers’ use of design in their workas well as the ways that engineering is connected to science, technology, and society. The waysin which an engineer’s work connects to science, technology, and society is dependent upon thespecific context in which they are working, and offering students opportunities to engage withproblems situated within realistic engineering contexts can help students meaningfully learnmathematics and science [3]. Providing these opportunities for students will require teachers tohave an understanding of the work of engineers and the way that work connects

This teaching takesplace in the context of rectilinear motion using examples that extend across all three topic areas.This gives students an overview of the course, allowing them to make connections between whatcan seem like isolated topics. It also makes the course more robust; students learn the big ideasearly on, and the rest of the course develops these ideas for cases of increasing complexity.Exciting examples that students can relate to are used to teach the material which helps
