to survey the brief history and the present status of architecture and architectural engineering education in India must begin with a recognition that while the activity of architecture has been practiced in India for centuries, its education was the responsibility of master craftsmen and passed along from one generation to another. The evolution of architecture and architectural engineering as a profession is a relatively new phenomenon demanding a different educational approach and pedagogy. The problem is compounded by the fact that while the professional attitude is western import, the pedagogy requires integrating issues of a distinct cultural identity. Most schools have not come to grips with this problem and the pedagogical structure

Department New York City College of Technology of the City University of New YorkAbstractAcross the world, COVID-19 has shifted the education model by forcing classroom in-personclasses to transition into the distance and online learning mode. Engineering and technologyprograms having a curriculum with a strong emphasis on hands-on labs are facing challenges. Theeducation community around the world is looking for options to adopt the online approach todeliver hands-on courses via Zoom, Blackboard, or video conferencing services, using simulatorsand other digital tools. To measure the effectiveness of the new educational model, the assessmentmust be redesigned. We must examine student mastery of the course learning outcomes asmeasured

development of a taxonomic classification for linking ethicalcybersecurity practices into engineering crowdsourcing initiatives requires identification ofcybersecurity practices through privacy statements, as well as comparing this to establishedengineering ethics. A multi-step process was employed to provide a methodic approach to thedetermination of relevant cybersecurity practices within common crowdsourcing enterpriseswhich includes scope determining and planning, data collection and analysis, taxonomic dataclassification and the model creation as depicted in Figure 1. In Step 1, the determination of the research scope and research plan was completed. Thedefinition of study goals with scoping to provide both limitations and ending

]. Traditional classroom teaching is often based on lecturing and examinations; therefore, theymight lack going beyond teaching students technical and discipline-specific skills.On the other hand, student competitions go beyond and offer students soft skills, which are thekey to successful experiential learning [6]. In engineering education, senior capstone projectshave become typical venues for teaching soft skills as well; however, these are often still limitedwith class-time and curriculum expectations [7]. Capstone projects, by nature, are towards theend of students’ educational careers, and therefore, students may not have time to practice thesoft skills they just have exposure. Earlier research shows that students’ ability to understandethical

took place during the springsemester, without any early warning signs, the instructors were required to adapt the new onlineteaching format. This was very challenging to certain courses that demanded high interactionbetween students and the instructor. Chemical Process Control is one of such courses. ChemicalProcess Control, which is within the chemical engineering curriculum at Villanova University,provides an experience in which students must apply their modeling skills to quantify the transientdynamics of chemical processes and thus design controllers with optimal performance. A typicalproject for students to solve is to design controllers for a chemical reactor to obtain desired qualityproduct in a timely and safety manner. This involves

Having our threat modeltarget different capabilities will give us a more detailed outlook on the system's complexity whilebringing forth new threats that may have gone overlooked. With this capstone project, students areable to learn some in-demand hands-on skills while gaining experience working as a team. Theproject also motivates students to become critical thinkers, leading to job market opportunities.AcknowledgementThe authors of this work would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable time andcomments.
