The Minority TechnologyAssociation (MTA) supports the Boiler Mentors Peer Mentoring program as well as hasprogramming throughout the school year. They work together to encourage each other in theirstudies and other factors impacting their lives. It is a club sponsored by the college, and themembership includes URM students from all backgrounds. A course TECH 100 – “TechnologyFreshman Seminar” is one credit hour course available to all freshman where they learn aboutthe support services available at Purdue University. They also learn skills to help them getthrough their courses and learn more about success at the university.An academic support program called BEST – Building Excellence for Students

Often, thegame is started on a slow pace gradually advancing gain in skill until the student is able to successfullynavigate the difficult levels. There is a constant increase in cyberattacks all over the world, an estimateof $106 Billion was recorded for cyber hacks in the United States in 2016 alone. The cybersecurity skillsshortage is also posing a major concern. Hence, it has become imperative to develop a learning platformfor the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to learn and be further equipped by introducingcybersecurity with the concept of gaming. Some of the games developed offer some

This event is unique in demonstrating practical and real-world examples, such as: • The roles and responsibilities of IAB membership. • Meaningful industry participation at the local IAB level. • Communication strategies to engage a network of industry professionals for the exchange of ideas in an open forum. • The tools, training, and resources necessary to create and maintain a “high-impact” IAB.The content of this paper examines the origins and evolution of the IAB Event; documents theprogress of the event in terms of attendance; revenues and expenditures; programs, panelsessions
signature work using integrative learning rubrics. Signatureassignments define short term, faculty assigned learning activities that demonstrate integration oflearning within the context of a course. Signature assignments are often used as stepping stonesfor a student to be prepared to engage and succeed in capstone courses or signature work (Furcoand Moely, 2012). Signature work meets several criteria including: 1) student agency andindependence for choice of topic, independent work with guidance and mentoring/coaching fromfaculty, staff or community partners, 2) integrative work that requires students to draw on anapply skills and knowledge they have developed across many disciplines and courses, 3) large,complex and unscripted problems that

On this phase, the main concern ofsupervisors and faculty was to shorten external variables that would cause additionalcommunication problems, having in consideration that language diversity is an essential part ofour culture. Figure 3. Cross-border student’s team presenting at the 2018 UTRGV Engaged Scholar Symposium (ES2)We can find diverse examples of global student collaboration, where language diversity is achallenge to overcome, through the Global Virtual Teams (GVTs). The GVT’s major concern isto have a fading in the individual performance [4]. Challenge-based instruction, project-basedlearning, and continuous self-learning were incorporated throughout the
. • How do we ensure that the capstone experience still meets ABET requirements. The rationale behind the changes to capstone ten years ago was to provide a true capstone experience for all students. With the changes, it is important to ensure we still meet that goal. Proceedings of the 2019 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2019, American Society of Engineering Education Session ETD 545This paper will discuss these programmatic changes, their impacts on the capstone coursesequence and possible solutions.

According to the MURI website(https://crl.iupui.edu/crlprograms/facultyprograms/muriprojectawards/index.html): MURI facilitates the creation and support of multidisciplinary research teams consisting of undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, senior staff, and faculty.

Session ETD 355Student Products to Demonstrate CompetencyUpon completion of the courses previously discussed, students also gain the benefit of havingseveral academic products that can be shared with potential employers to demonstrate theircompetency with technical standards. From MET 102, students have a technical report outliningthe impact of standards on common everyday items, along with several mechanical designs thatadhere to a variety of technical standards. Beginning in the fall of 2018, students also now havethe opportunity to submit their work to an online educational badge system, developed byMichael Fosmire from Purdue Libraries, where instructors evaluate the work and award acompetency badge for high quality work that truly
Session ETD 465 Getting Started with Ethics Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionFew would disagree that ethics is an intriguing subject, one that students should experience.Perhaps, we think, if engineering and technology students were more familiar with professionalexpectations regarding behavior, real-world outcomes would be more positive and some of themore spectacular failures—such as the recent bridge collapse in Genoa, Italy—would becomerelics of an unenlightened past.However, as curious newbies enthusiastically dive

We also communicated with IFMA/FMAC that in order to have a fasterturnaround, as we develop the curriculum in fall 2018 and know the sequence of classes that areneeded, the students will be allowed to start taking those classes as early as spring 2019. Theparticipating students just won’t be able to declare the major and concentration until thecurriculum is finalized through the curriculum approval process. They can work with advisors onwhich classes to take to stay on track.Comparing to the current MSU Denver university catalog, only a few new courses are needed forthe new degree program.
