However, it isrelated to many different domains, such as information science, business and management,psychology, criminal justice and forensic science. Therefore, cybersecurity programs should beinterdisciplinary to provide students with strong skills and knowledge in different areas.Cybersecurity is science and this science requires the application of mathematics to solveproblems, design processes, measures, and tools; therefore, cybersecurity research centers/labshave a positive impact on cybersecurity

While they may getsome teamwork experience from such courses, they usually only get very basic, if any, trainingin project management. This is why we decided to introduce our cornerstone courses in thesophomore year.We developed a two-quarter-long course sequence: one focused on design processes and anotheron project implementation [1-6]. We had two overarching goals: 1. Teach students design and project development well before senior Capstone projects. 2. Integrate various strands of electrical and computer engineering through

In this paper, an inter-disciplinary design project towards the development of a miniCNC milling machine is presented. Since purchasing and installing traditional CNC equipmentis not an option for every campus of Drexel University or similar engineering schools, analternative solution to providing hands on experience with CNC equipment is desirable.

each summer. With only two to four students at each site, creating a sense of cohort among these 30 geographically distributed students can be difficult. One challenge is providing opportunities for all of the students to interact in ways that support each other’s research experience. In an attempt to maximize student learning and personal growth, the program coordinators have leveraged NEEShub, the cyberinfrastructure that interconnects the 14 NEES research sites, to engage students in professional development activities and peer- to-peer interaction. The REU program uses a combination of face-to-face and technology mediated interactions. Cyberinfrastructure tools to support interaction between cohorts at the different sites

In the following paragraphs, we provide examples from these new courses withbrief descriptions of their objectives and contents.A sophomore level course was developed in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departmentof the Rice University1. Guided by the breadth-first principle, the new introductory course wasdesigned to provide information on virtually all topics that the students would learn throughouttheir undergraduate education. The course was also intended to help the students understandwhat to expect from future advanced courses and eliminate the surprise factor. The course

similar to that of computergames. In the modeling of computer games, there are two main blocks: the goal block and thetools block. The goal block contains the aim of the game which the player tries to achieve. Thetools block contains the instruments / equipments provided to achieve the goal. Most computergames have their story board directed after this model. Figure 2 shows an example of this modelfor a game called Angry Birds. The goal is to hit the blue birds (goal block) by using the redbirds (tools block), and the player is rewarded with points for this. From this design the player isnot provided with a definite procedure to hitting the blue birds. This leaves the player withmultiple options of hitting the blue birds. Figure 3 shows the
