Cybersecurity with a Self-Learning KitAbstractThere is an exponential growth in the number of cyber-attack incidents resulting in significantfinancial loss and national security concerns. Secure cyberspace has been designated as one ofthe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges in engineering. Broadly, thesecurity threats are targeted on software programs, operating system and network with theintention to launch confidentiality, integrity and availability violations. Existing undergraduateand graduate-level cybersecurity education curriculum rely primarily on didactic teachingmethods with little focus on student centered, inquiry-based teaching, known to improve studentlearning. With growing number of security incidents taking place, it

commitment,including individuals’ willingness to coordinate efforts across the degree program and teach ESIin their own courses. Given shrinking credit hours for engineering degrees and an increasingnumber of topics, it can be challenging to find space in the curriculum for standalone ethicscourses [9]. These courses can be offered outside of the engineering department as part of thegeneral education or liberal arts requirement, but this approach can be met with a lack of studentengagement if the topics appear disconnected from their engineering preparation [10].Given these considerations, micro-insertions of ESI have been promoted as an effective approach[11]. Micro-insertion is the integration of ethics in technical courses “without substantial

McDuffie et al. (2014) documented how growth in teachers’attention to the substance of student reasoning was accompanied by growth in their noticing of(in)equitable participation patterns and power

It hasto be done as per a set schedule, i.e. in prescribed time blocks, semesters or quarters, andfollowing a prescribed prerequisite structure. After finishing four years of curriculum studentsgraduate and join the workforce. Current education paradigm uses the “Empty ContainerParadigm.” It is assumed students will start a given course knowing nothing about the topic andwhile they are enrolled in it knowledge will be poured in their head as is done in an emptycontainer. In this current model, learning occurs individually, there is a lot of emphasis onprerequisite structure and requirement for basic knowledge, and assessment is based on grades intests rather than acquiring of a

-guided study on how systems engineers develop their expertise. Additionally,many systems engineers have an integrative role, “requiring a deeper understanding of a widerange of areas than provided by a focused education” [Ross et al., 2014]. Anecdotally, manyuniversity faculty agree that successful systems engineers can only be made through experience,as evidenced in part by the relatively few programs in systems engineering, especially at theundergraduate level1. As Adcock et al. [2015] note: “current undergraduate engineering education1 A brief note on terminology is appropriate here. While there are many graduate engineering programs that addressthe problems posed by complex engineering systems, these programs tend to focus on the science of

mental imageryis engaged for both blind and sighted people when interpreting engineering graphics.Mental imagery is cognitively part of visuospatial working memory, used for reasoning [11], andnot merely an internalization of the visual percept (actual sight). Mental imagery differs fromvision in that vision is a bottoms-up process, where visual stimuli are processed into sight, versusa tops-down process where knowledge is processed into imagery [8]. Some visual processes donot occur in mental imagery [12], but mental imagery does seem to depend on areas of the brainrelated to higher levels of integration in typical visual processing [13].Since this study examines how a blind student learned engineering graphics, understandingdifferences in the

Along with the obvious benefit ofdeveloping team problem solving and discussion skills, students receive fast feedback on theirperformance, the instructor spends less time reviewing the exam (in class and with individuals),and the classroom environment benefits from the added value placed on collaboration andreciprocal learning. This paper describes a number of variations on the team testing idea anddiscusses how factors in the course affect the type of team test to develop.In a team test, the students complete an individual test paper as well as a group test paper. Theindividual component enforces individual accountability and allows the instructor to askquestions in formats that do

are writing intensive and have the technicalwriting course as a prerequisite. Even more of a problem, many Penn State engineering studentswork in internships and co-op experiences without having taken the technical writing course,even though the companies expect those students to write. Worse yet, in those internships, ourstudents are evaluated alongside engineering interns who have had the experience of a technicalwriting course. To address this situation, the Mechanical Engineering Department at Penn State haspiloted an engineering writing course that connects to its required junior-level design course,which is writing intensive. What distinguishes this engineering writing course from traditionaltechnical writing courses is that the
