opportunities to practice combining skills and lessons from different disciplines, which limits students’ ability to draw connections, integrate knowledge, and participate in the intentional practice of professional skills needed to develop expertise [7].Recognition that an integrated approach to engineering education - where knowledge and skillsare developed throughout the curriculum rather than presented in separate courses - is notnew. In 2005, the development of ABET accreditation criteria clarified the need for a neweducation paradigm based on an integrated approach [9]. Research has demonstrated thatan integrated curriculum can lead to better outcomes. In their review ofengineering curricula, Froyd and Ohland [10] noted

Section 7 concludes the paper and discusses possible future work.3 Background3.1 Integrated Learning (IL)There is often a gap between what academia teaches to students and what industry needs fromgraduates [14]. To effectively participate in teams within industry, some high-level skills areneeded. In real projects, challenges in combining different concepts will arise. Designing a qual-ity curriculum can accelerate the required skill-learning speed. In traditional teaching models,courses are offered in vertical sequence, and students may not have the chance to contribute tosimulated realistic projects [3]. IL is an approach used to help students face challenges

In fact, such packed curricula are common inSTEM degrees, and pose challenges whenever new material needs to be integrated, such as AI.Moreover, instructors in AI and cybersecurity are not usually cross-trained. In other words, anexpert in cybersecurity rarely has expertise in AI, and vice versa. Unfortunately, this results in afew cross-trained researchers and practitioners in the future cyber workforce.Like most computing disciplines, cybersecurity relies on various computing sub-disciplines suchas networking, systems, and infrastructure. AI techniques have been widely used in a growingbody of cybersecurity literature to address the complex

Having taught the Capstone Design coursefor seven years, we obtained feedback from students over years of course offerings that theywant to spend their class time directly working on their projects and are most motivated byassignments that have an obvious connection to their respective projects. Described briefly in anonline knowledge base [8], we chose an approach that involved an introductory lecture ondisability, accessibility, and UD from a local expert, follow-up individual reflection, and a team-based assignment that

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the racialjustice protests that followed, many national organizations issued Black Lives Matter statementsand pledged to redouble their efforts to address the racialized history and impact of science [8],[9]. These statements expressed similar sentiments and commitments to “increasing theparticipation, inclusion, and empowerment of historically underrepresented segments of societyin all venues where [science and engineering] is taught, practiced, and supported.” One approachto fulfilling these commitments is the notion of “decolonizing” the STEM curriculum [10]. Suchan approach does not seek to “reject established

In addition to expediting productdevelopment, the AM framework facilitates the development of innovative products of highervalue, which can offer a competitive advantage over standard low-cost products. One of the leadadaptors of AM for end parts is the aerospace industry due to the high added value of AM-enabledinnovative parts. A prominent example of the adoption of AM for critical flight parts is the leapengine fuel nozzle developed by General Electric [4]. The original nozzle consisting of 19 partswas redesigned with more intricate fuel channels leading to improved ignition efficiency of 25

The systems integration issue has compounded anexisting problem for the manufacturing sector as companies already struggle with workforcerecruitment. Although the manufacturing sector has continued to experience significant declinesin workforce; from about 30% in 1960 to about 10% in recent years due to an increased relianceon technology [11-12], identifying and recruiting talents to use and manage these technologies hasremained a challenge. To address this problem, the support and involvement of educators, especially in theengineering and technology fields, will be imperative. Unfortunately

The time saved is used to advance higher-level learningobjectives as described below.Deployment of these integrated experiments was enabled by the development of a dataacquisition and control board based on the Arduino platform. This allows a single board to meetall data acquisition and control needs for a general engineering program. It also has theadvantage of being low cost, potentially enabling advances in remote laboratories. Furtherbackground and rationale for this project are presented below along with an overview of thehardware and examples of how content is threaded throughout the curriculum.1.2 Program backgroundThe experiments presented here were

The faculty participants were free to usethe activity worksheets we provided, to modify them, or to develop their own approaches forincorporating the models into their respective courses. Two of the instructors in the study do notcover centroids as an integration application in their respective courses. This difference addsvariability to the data set with respect to the scale of the intervention.Note that the present intervention does not include specific targeted spatial skills traininganalogous to that used in the studies mentioned above. Rather, we hypothesize that access to
highereducation provides the opportunity to learn theory and apply it, students can be left with alimited ability to learn through authentic experiences [6]. This proves to be particularlyproblematic in engineering disciplines. The curriculum tends to focus more on theoreticalfoundations and less on the practical application and skills needed in the workforce [6]. Studieshave shown that to enhance the value of engineering graduates in the industry, they must acquireentrepreneurial abilities such as identifying an opportunity, solving problems, thinkingcreatively, and generating societal value [1], [3]. Therefore, engineering institutions have begunto recognize the importance of teaching technical skills coincided with entrepreneurial skills togenerate
