seminarsand small group collaborative (COLLAB) sessions. A tenured mechanical engineering professor wouldserve as course coordinator and lead instructor for the one-hour seminars. The coordinator would lead ateam of four graduate Tas, and ten upper-level ME majors serving as ME peer mentors who, in turn,facilitate the weekly two-hour COLLAB sessions where the first-year students work in teams to completethe course learning activities. The first-year students would use SolidProfessor (required as a four-yearpaid subscription, replacing a standard textbook) [1] and Linked-In Learning (LiL) to support theirlearning objectives through self-study and team project-based activities. To enrich the course content, weproposed use of seminars and project-based

The program has three differenttracks, and it is open to students with technical and nontechnical backgrounds. All track areascan also prepare students for a broad cybersecurity certification.References1 U.S. Bureau of Labor Stattistics. (2022).

Funded by National Science Foundation, under Professor Kaw’s leadership, he and his colleagues from around the nation have developed, implemented, refined, and assessed online resources for open courseware in Numerical Methods. This courseware annually receives 1,000,000+ page views, 1,800,000+ views of the YouTube lectures, and 90,000+ visitors to the ”numerical methods guy” blog. He has written more than 100 refereed technical papers, and his opinion editorials have appeared in the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Tribune, and Chronicle Vitae.

Each learningmodule was based on a generic template that includes the following sections: (1) selected andannotated learning materials using a diverse set of pre-selected materials including textbookchapters, research papers, white papers, videos, blogs, and discussions. All materials are groupedinto three categories, (a) required to build a strong foundation in scientific knowledge andunderstanding, (b) recommended to provide additional examples and illustrations to the topicscovered in the required section, and (c) optional to support students who are interested in goingbeyond the required level, (2) knowledge
