Engineering (SE) education at the postgraduate level has started to be offeredonline by many universities worldwide. We need to consider the highest standard to deliver coreknowledge defined by Bagert et al.4 using methods explained in the SE education roadmap5concerning the necessity of ensuring a good level of interaction and learner engagement. First,apply education that accounts for software development roles (i.e., design, management,programming, validation analysis, documentation, system integration, and design for securityand reliability). Second, instill engineering attitudes in educational programs. Third, keepingeducation current in the face of rapid change. Fourth, establishing credentials that can validatethe ability of the developers. In

The existingmaker space provides all institution students with access to training and equipment available forcourse, research, and private projects. All equipment, maintenance, and training expenses for themaker space are paid by the college. Additionally, both service center and maker space staffprovide design consultation to students and researchers throughout the institution. The facility iscurrently used to enhance a number of existing courses, clubs, and outreach events within thecollege. This paper presents how the new engineering technology degree program will utilize theexisting facility’s maker space, what classes it will be incorporated

complicating the training of the next generations of engineers who will shapethe future of the global economy. In particular, a topic of immediate concern is the security ofembedded systems. Embedded systems are ubiquitous and are found in medical devices, nuclearplants, and chemical processing systems to name a few applications. The ever-increasingcomplexity of modern embedded systems has raised the potential for security breaches that maycompromise the integrity and functions of these products. Although embedded systems design hasbeen a core curriculum in most electrical and computer engineering programs, incorporatingsecurity-training skills at the undergraduate level remains challenging. Despite the enormity ofsecurity challenges, they are often

Convinced of the potential for education to transform society,he practiced learner-centered classrooms. His students were Brazilian peasants. His goals were tosupport his students in creating a socially just society. His methods entailed constructivism, i.e.,building from what his learners already knew to new concepts. In this way, he validated their lifeexperiences. Thus, the

This would involve developing a user-friendly program that is compatiblewith a device that can autonomously capture images of a syndactylized hand. We will utilize aAutodesk Recap Photo to construct a 3D hand model using a series of pictures taken by anArduino camera. Geometric features will be extracted from defective and non-defected handmodels in Autodesk ReCap Photo and SOLIDWORKS to estimate the dimensions andconfigurations of the hand models. This is done to validate the dimensions gathered in the handmodels as a comparison. With the measurements gathered from the hand models, we canapproximate a dorsal

This teaching style can enhance higher order thinkingapproach in students and help them connect theoretical concepts with real world applications. 2. BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONAfter graduation, engineering students work in industries where they are required to work on differentdesign projects with co-workers. Some of the challenges faced by students are not being able to relatetextbook knowledge to real world design applications, work with others as a team and be an extrovert. It isvery important to introduce students to project based (PrjBL), problem based (PrbBL) and active learningall together (POPBL) at an early

Industry-standard security information and event management toolssuch as Splunk and intrusion detection systems are used to train students to detect, defend andanalyze coordinated cyber attacks. The hardware-in-the-loop learning ecosystem lets the studentsperform red-team and blue-team exercises for power systems following cybersecurity standards,guidelines, and related frameworks. As an outcome, the students develop an understanding of cy-ber security concepts such as digital forensics, incident response, and reverse engineering relatedto the power grid, and are able to design steps to keep the grid infrastructure secured. Overall,our approach advances the cybersecurity profession through hands-on training and helps
