This data will subsequently betranscribed using Otter.ai software [13] and analyzed using card sort methodology commonlyemployed in User-Experience Design [14].Tentative ResultsAt the time of this writing, one focus group has been conducted. We are withholding formalanalysis of the data until collection is complete. However, anecdotally these are the initialimpressions made on the researchers.• All teachers have specifically stated the need to be extremely careful when talking to parents.• Parents are aware of the SC-ELS because it is mentioned in orientation as

programs in higher education institutions.[3]This effort presents unique organizational and logistical challenges, such as integratingqualitative and quantitative data and supporting information in a meaningful way thatdemonstrates continuous improvement or the fundamental problem of integration. In 2020, theNew York University, Tandon School of engineering, was readying for its ABET accreditationvisit and its subsequent MSCHE visit in 2022-23. The preparation of the self-study report forABET raised the aforementioned problem of integrating inputs and processes in a meaningfulway that facilitates continuous improvement. The purpose of this paper is to describe how theNew York University (NYU) BSCE program addressed ABET and MSCHE requirements

their weekly reports to their colleagues, mentors, andfaculty across all the participating institutions.RET and REU participants are teamed together to work on research projects, where the teacherslearn the fundamentals of engineering and research and provide feedback from their perspectiveand experiences as STEM teachers. This is departure from typical RET programs where guidedtraining is the primary method used to engage teachers. Rather, the SCR2 program relies onimmersive training to provide a stronger connection between engineering research concepts andactual application, which is critical for translation into hands-on activities for high school students.The knowledge and experience of all participants is further enhanced through a weekly

the idea of bringing themup to speed during the summer. Some of the Cybersecurity skills required by giant companiesduring the recruitment process include communications skills, writing skills, knowledge ofCybersecurity concepts and issues, security vulnerabilities, basics of C/C++, and pythonprogramming. Throughout this project, we expose students to the real-world problem faced bythe biggest high-tech companies like Google, Amazon, IBM, Cisco, Facebook, Microsoft, andothers. Second, some of the learning expectations include the following: • Working in teams • Managing deadlines • Following work schedules • Becoming critical thinkers and problem solvers • Learning the fundamental of programming basics hardware devices

DescriptionThe course is a three credit upper-level environmental engineering class on hazardous wastemanagement and air pollution. The course focused on the fundamentals of transport and fateprocesses in air, soil, and water as well as on treatment strategies and technologies. The classwas offered for the first time in spring of 2020, meeting three times per week (MWF) for thetwelve-week session. It is one of two classes exclusive to the environmental engineeringconcentration. The course objectives are to: - Classify hazardous wastes based on makeup, toxicity, and regulation status. - Assess sites containing hazardous waste following federal and state guidelines. - Identify transport and fate processes affecting contaminant presence and
