, in engineering courses, case studies have not been fully utilized. Thehypothesis of this project is that case studies will engage the interest of students, improve theirperformance in these courses, and ultimately improve their retention. Here, we report thedevelopment of a case study activity for Mechanics of Materials, a core engineering course in theMechanical Engineering undergraduate curriculum, to help engage and interest students,especially deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) students. Using a universal design approach, theactivity focused on the Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse in 1981 and requires students toperform related design calculations and discuss the impact of the events that led up to theaccident.

The field of security is large and rapidly changing, and one could easily offer multiple courseson computer security. However, we propose to integrate basic concepts into the undergraduatecurriculum. These are the topics we feel should be addressed:1. Security Literacy: a basic understanding of security terms2. Security risks: a basic understanding of what is at risk (confidentiality, integrity, availability) andthreat sources (such as connectivity, physical threats, etc.)3.
