is a nonprofit association thatmentors K-12 teachers on sustainable energy education through STEM topics and activities. TheNEED Project offers a curriculum and mentorship to professors on how to use creativity to teachK-12 students and invent new ways of thinking and practicing sustainability addressing STEMtopics. Students can effectively make changes that directly impact their community, building solidvalues of respect between men and nature from an early age. The NEED Project launched in WestVirginia (WV) recently, successfully mentoring many teachers around the state. To express theimportance of the NEED Project to the teachers and students in WV, there is a need to study theeffects of the NEED Project approach in developing the

in energy systems. Throughout his career, Dr. Kerzmann has advised over eighty student projects, some of which have won regional and international awards. A recent project team won the Utility of Tomorrow competition, outperforming fifty-five international teams to bring home one of only five prizes. Additionally, he has developed and taught fourteen different courses, many of which were in the areas of energy, sustainability, thermodynamics, dynamics and heat transfer. He has always made an effort to incorporate experiential learning into the classroom through the use of demonstrations, guest speakers, student projects and site visits. Dr. Kerzmann is a firm believer that all students learn in their own unique

university. The course is housed in the Fundamentals ofEngineering Program unit of the engineering college and is taught by faculty from that group. Itwas developed in 2015 and has been taught each semester and in the summer ever since. Itcovers the history of engineering from antiquity through today. Assessments include weeklyhomework and quizzes, three comprehensive exams, four periodic reflections, and a term paperthat has students consider societal impacts of future technologies. All assessments are deliveredin the online Learning Management System. The homework requires that students read the bookand answer fill in the blank questions about the reading. There are also one or two short essayquestions asking students to explain or elaborate on

Engineering Educationdominantly come into play only when the system is connected to a network. A common mistakeis to consider stand-alone units safer. Because it is almost impossible to add security to an existingproduct, it must be a prime design goal from the conception through production, deployment, anddisposal of the embedded device.Memory and embedded software are the parts of the embedded system, which are most vulnerableto security breaches12. A typical embedded system may have several megabytes of Flash ROM,which are almost never fully utilized. These memory patches provide mechanisms for securitybreaches. The hardware memory may contain firmware or data. Non-volatile memory chips arefound in many hardware devices. These modern embedded
