literature. The comprehension of the CIA triad and its application in the primitivemoved to a focused effort looking at the synthesis process to understand how to implement theprimitive. Implementation was to be achieved through coding in Verilog, and the studentdemonstrated strong understanding with its use. The student did not completely transfer theirunderstanding into practice as the methodology was beyond the available time and the student’sability. By the end of the research period the student established an algorithm and briefproof-of-concept, completing the goals of learning cybersecurity concepts. This paper gives anarrative and advice for others pursuing similar exercises.References [1] T. Huffmire, B. Brotherton, G. Wang, T. Sherwood, R
(before intervention)1: In this project, we will consider a commercially available quadcopter. To control the height of the quadcopter, consider the ideal element description below, where Fr is the upward force generated by the four rotors and Fg is the downward force due to gravity. Damping due to air resistance is represented with a damping coefficient b (Fig. 1). As the first step, clearly articulate what the system input and output are, and explain in simple terms what you want your system output signal to achieve. […] In addition, you should now define three total specifications consistent with your control goals. Of these three specifications, you must select

It is, therefore, a general tool tomeasure the students’ perceptions about a course and the instructor of that course. The survey is acompound of 19 statements plus two open questions. These 19 statements are evaluated by thestudents using the following scale: 1 Never, 2 Sometimes, 3 Frequently, 4 Always.

specific than level 1. Level 2 information corresponds to student performance as demonstrated through work submitted during the senior year in the senior design class (CPRE/EE 491 and CPRE/EE 492) and in the portfolio class (CPRE/EE 494). The student work consisting of various design project deliverables and portfolio items are reviewed and scored by faculty. Rubrics are used and cover all ABET student outcomes (a) – (k) except outcome (b), which is given special attention using level 3 assessment. The senior year is an opportune time to assess student learning in a summative manner. 3. Level 3 is finer grained and more specific than the other levels. It provides more in-depth examination of a student

We consider these four studies to be of thehighest quality retrieved by the SLR. Studies are marked with a double dagger (††) if theirquality assessment coding is ‘mostly indicative of high quality’; there are 12 such studies.Despite variance in the context (in-class, out-of-class, lab, etc) of practice, the four highestquality studies share a focus on how students construct knowledge, rather than how professorsteach. That is, they concern student-centric learning activities facilitated by instructors, ratherthan

Along with the outcomes-based performance analysis, it would be beneficial to examinehow CAIR influences student problem-solving strategies over time.References[1] A. Carberry, M. Siniawski, S. A.

: Implementing Sophomore Cornerstone Courses in Electrical and Computer EngineeringMany engineering programs have significant project- and design-based courses in the freshmanand senior years. Freshman courses usually serve a dual purpose: a) making engineering a moreattractive study option for undecided students, and b) introducing the basics of technical andnon-technical skills, such as teamwork and project planning. On the other hand, seniors doingtheir capstone projects are expected to perform at a more proficient level, one that woulddemonstrate their readiness for entering the workforce as engineers.As will be discussed below, the project component in our freshman year-long sequence evolvesfrom minimally structured projects
