The mapping provided a way to explain to engineering students that the seminarswere groundwork for future engineering work. At the same time, it offered an explanation tonon-engineers that these skills could be transferred between different disciplines, regardless ofseminar topic.

Cybersecurity.2.0 BackgroundThe two-fold goal of the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) S-STEM fundedAttracting and Cultivating Cybersecurity Experts and Scholars through Scholarships (ACCESS)program is: (1) to increase cybersecurity-related STEM degree completion of low-income, high-achieving undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need (including women andminorities) and (2) to generate knowledge about academic success, retention, persistence,graduation, and career pathways of these students to improve the education of futureCybersecurity-related STEM workers. Specifically, ACCESS aims to contribute towardsaddressing the tremendous governmental and industry need for highly skilled cybersecurityexperts by addressing the following

Toequip students with important design skills, design education has adopted project-based coursesthat require students to tackle open-ended problems [2]. However, despite the changes in thecurriculum, studies have indicated the challenges of teaching students how to innovate [3], [4].Engineers engage in concept generation in design, which

These dualisms are so embedded in the practices and teachings of engineering thatthe separation of social and technical aspects engineers face every day seems natural. Thereductionist nature of engineering problem solving is an asset praised in the classroom, ratherthan questioned.Engineers both generate and perpetuate the separation of “hard” and “soft” skills, prioritizing the“hard” skills above all else.
