The project began under an internalseed grant and is now supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Innovationsin Graduate Education (IGE) Program. DREAM fosters the holistic development of engineeringstudents and uses distinctive approaches to cultivate reflective habits and critical thinking skills thatare essential for engineering practice today and tomorrow. To do this, we integrate the arts andhumanities as well as group-discussion and reflective writing to

University of New Mexico, Albuquerque Copyright ã 2020, American Society for Engineering Education 2An important aspect of improving US students’ performance is firing up student interest in STEM.The decline in interest in STEM was been reported by Potvin and Hasni4 who surveyed almost1900 students from 5th through 11th grades. They noted that students preferred arts and physicaleducation as compared to science and technology. They also observed that interest in science andtechnology reduced with increasing age, although this seemed to be the case for all subjects. Asnoted in another survey5, the percentage of 13-17 years old male students interested in STEM hasdropped from 36% to

This is generally defined as code obfuscation. The practice of codeobfuscation in modern software engineering dates back to the 1980’s, with small competitions heldto transform simple C code into confusing, abstract puzzles difficult for humans to parse andunderstand5.Since the 1980’s, literature on code-level obfuscation has been consistent but generally sparse.
