For the final two-thirds of the semester, the subgroups group together as eight-personteams to do the final design and prototype implementation. The added bonus of this approach isthat the sophomores get to know a more senior student, who can serve as a peer advisor on issuessuch as course and area choices that go beyond the immediate goals of the course.

In the latter parts of the course sequence, inparallel with the technical aspects of the design project, the setting of milestones, managing theproject, and performing and documenting engineering work are augmented by keyprofessionalism topics.

Specifically, the study assesses the validity of indirectstudent assessments, using a survey given to outgoing senior students, to predict their mastery ofa subject through direct student assessments (i.e., FE exam data and cumulative GPA values).The study monitors how frequently students underrate or overrate their understanding of ABETSOs based on their measured performance.

It found that the cybersecurity field has expanded significantly over time, withmore security domains to cover and more types of attacks that must be understood. At the same time, courses requirecybersecurity education to be integrated to it while having the same number of hours as before. This means that securityeducation programs alone cannot meet all the requirements of the workforce, and continuous education beyond the classroom isvital to the field.Social media has emerged as a critical platform for accessing information.

The most commonform of this type of gamification are points, badges, achievements, and levels and only one ofthese elements of a game are needed to engage a person. It also encourages the learner to return tothe material on a regular basis.For gamification to truly impact participant learning in positive ways, the integration ofgame-inspired elements must go beyond superficial combinations like points or badges to focuson more in-depth structural considerations of games such as the story, the challenge, the sense ofcontrol, decision making, and a sense of mastery [1].

influence the overall performance of the system behavior.However, system thinking is a skill that is gradually developed through experience and training.From the research literature one way to develop system thinking is by having students work onpractical projects that relates to their studies. In turn, the practical projects provide the opportunityfor students to learn about the various characteristics of the system by holding distinct roles withina dynamic group environment [8], and [9].Both computational and system thinking methods provide complementary frameworks that allowstudents to decompose a complex design problem into more manageable algorithmic basedproblems. This permits them to envision how to incorporate the various hardware elements

Otherdemographic factors that have been considered are GPA, age, and participation in organizations(such as fraternities and athletic teams).

Course assessment consisted of mid-term and end-term presentations which were evaluated by the peersand moderated by the faculty mentors. Results of self appraisals with respect to the learning attributes and theconsequent development plans were also examined during the assessment.IntroductionIn today’s knowledge economy, educational institutes need to recognize that lifelong and interdisciplinarylearning are the most critical skills, and take steps to inculcate them in students. A course in Liberal Learningoffers a good solution to achieve that objective. This is a different paradigm for both the students and faculty,though. The current K-12 education does not prepare

Because of this reliance, it becomes increasingly important thatwe understand the importance of the relationship between community, communication, andlearning. People seek information by communicating with members of existing and potentialcommunities; they look not only for materials and specific answers, but also for corroboration,new interpretations, and new methods of finding information2. It is through this act of seekinginformation that they learn from their community. Learning, seen as a social phenomenon,3
