some of these new methodologies.Lessons LearnedAs enrollment began to increase in the lower-level ESET courses, “what about capstone”concerns began to surface amongst the faculty, especially those that were fully engaged in theprocess. Because at that time, no teaching credit was available for being a capstone advisor,faculty were appropriately worried about taking on more teams and more projects. A number ofideas on how to handle larger enrollments were generated and the best of these were tested andevaluated to determine the value in supporting larger enrollments in Capstone.One of the first ideas that was implemented was increasing the number of students on a teamfrom four to six. Four-member teams had been the typical team size for a

out what is really going on with a student. Faculty advisor should be proactive and support students with difficult issues. Skipping class is a symptom of the real problem. Intentional contact with students with the goal of developing a caring and beneficial relationship typically leads to increased academic motivation and persistence. 2. When Engineering and Engineering Technology students faces academic challenges, sometimes they are hesitant to visit the faculty as they see it as a failure on them. What is intuitive to faculty is new to students. They may not see the relevance or meaning in the content or courses they have to take. Explaining it to them in a way that relates understanding is key to

music would stop. Since PCs often havesystem issues, this would regularly embarrass him during a job. Another desirable was tocombine functionality of several programs into one system. The student wanted to add a varietyof effects to the music, as well as control playback (stop, start, volume).In consultation with faculty, the student determined a real-time DSP system with supportingstorage, I/O and user interface would be a good platform for the new system. Although thestudent’s final goal was a replacement D.J. system for his laptop, his faculty mentor broke theproject into smaller goals. The first of these was to determine optimal hardware and operatingsystem for the new system.In order not to limit possibilities to those solutions already

InternationalPreparednessProject-based learning in undergraduate engineering programs is included as a mean to developthe engineering skills required to address real-life technological challenges. In both higheducation institutions, UTRGV and TecNM/ITM, students who complete their coursework mustcomplete an industry-related, research-based capstone project, which in specific cases involvethe design and development of a functional prototype.As part of the new projects definition, faculty advisors identified the need of including short-term research projects embedded in regular coursework, to enhance the students’ experience notonly at the Senior Project I and II, but also as part of the following courses: Solar EnergyTechnology, and Green Building Design II.

Session ETD 345In a report compiled by Dr. Bo Beaulieu1 in 2015, economic development data within theNorthwest Indiana counties shows a gap compared to the rest of the state. Data from the regionaldevelopment report noted: • 2001-2013 Northwest counties were issued patents at a rate of 1.6 per 10,000 jobs, while the remaining Indiana counties garnered 4 patents per 10,000 jobs • Stage 1 (2-9 employees) establishments expanded by 85% while stage 2 (10-99 employees) establishments slipped by 4 percent between 2000 and 2011 • Unemployment rate gap between the region and the rest of the state began to close in 2010 and 2011, it increased in 2013. The unemployment in the region was 1.5 percent higher than the rest

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

In addition to the obvious issues in the computer industry, such ashacking or identity theft, unintended consequences may cause anxiety or apprehension. Securityconcerns, for example, have spawned a new industry of protection, along with previouslyunconsidered workplace impacts. As reporter Jonathan Listner has suggested, “Technologymoves at a pace that can easily outruns ethical standards surrounding its use.”6 Instructorsinterested in this topic should consult Langdon Winner’s The Whale and the Reactor, a verythoughtful, compelling rumination on technology and society.7Moral Responsibility.

These concerns were ranked #2, # 3, and # 4 in a research finding among technology educators2. Likewise, in a recent surveyamong prospective employers, 30% of 250 respondents did not have any awareness about theengineering technology program and one-third of those who claimed to have awareness aboutthe program could not distinguish the difference between the work performed by the engineersto the work performed by the engineering technologist accurately3.

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.
