The new paradigmalso nurtures students to become engineers who can better collaborate with other engineersacross different disciplines: design, test, research and development. NX-Graphics, NX-Nastran,Simcenter 3D, Star-CCM+ and AMEsim have been taught at UC-ME in several courses in avertically integrated manner. A few projects assigned in the freshmen graphics course arebrought back in upper-year courses: manufacturing, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics and heattransfer. This provides our students with ability to attack real-world problems that often requiremulti-physics simulations. Several engineering course modules developed to

global marketdespite rising labor costs. “From 2018 to 2020, global robot installations are estimated to increase by at least 15% on average per year (CAGR): 15% in the Americas and in Asia/Australia, and 11% in Europe. Total global sales will reach about 520,900 units in 2020. Between 2017 and 2020, it is estimated that more than 1.7 million new industrial robots will be installed in factories around the world. Due to the dynamic development of robot installations since 2010, the robot density in the United States increased significantly from 114 installed robots per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry in 2009 to 189 robots in 2016.” (1)This data refers to robotic applications, but the

industry, in gaming and videos for example, VR is increasingly being used foreducation and training. This is because a real workspace can be simulated with which the userscan interact for educational and training purposes without the typical risks involved and at muchlower costs; it further has the advantages of scalability and flexibility.Over the years VR has found wide application in 2-year technical colleges and 4-yearuniversities to train students in the effective use of manufacturing process equipment, especiallywelding processes. Due to its inherent benefits, welding equipment manufacturers themselveshave taken on creating the market for welding simulators leveraging a VR interface.

That is not to say that theBSE graduate cannot adapt and be productive, but it appears that the BSET graduate hasaccumulated more general knowledge along the way, while the BSE graduate has the edge in thetheoretical aspects. If an assignment involves heavy use of advanced mathematics, then the BSEgraduate most often has the edge over the BSET graduate – as one would expect based onaccreditation curriculum requirements. One might argue that the additional mathematicsrequired for the BSE degree set the bar too high for the BSET graduate to be successful, but thatis not

At this point, the vision of the final project stated tobecome clear with well-defined features and functionality. Although the team never developed asingle leader, it operated with a dual leadership format with one member taking over thehardware integration and the other member taking over the software functionality.

In general, lecture is the most effective method to convey fundamentals, theories, andtechnologies to students. To tackle the second goal, a network environment is usually preparedthat allows students to practice what they have learnt in classes [2-4]. With the usage of thoselearning environments, students are able to apply their knowledge and skills to real world cybersecurity problems, however, most of the cyber security lab environments are designed forlearning either defense mechanism or attack techniques.

Early semester progress reports on grades and attendance, Midterm grades, semester campaigns targeted at students near graduation thresholds, and mandatory advising each semester all assist in both retention and graduation because the students must see their advisor at a few times per year.
