These meetings are considered mandatory for the students. Occasional conflictsare inevitable, but the students need to understand that a portion of their grade for participation isbased on attendance at the weekly meetings. At each meeting, issues associated with the projectwill be discussed and a status report will be provided by the student to the advisor. Students willkeep a daily journal/work log detailing the work that was done, how much time was spent thatday, and any technical details that might be needed for later reference.

issues and proposedattributes for successful engineers of 2020, these attributes and issues may almost alwaysbe couched within the following pedagogical concerns: There is a need to construct engineering curriculum so as to serve more diverse learners. There is a need to help students develop better complex thinking skills. There is a need to provide learning environments that more actively engage students on multi-disciplinary team projects. There is a need to create an opportunity for value added curriculum, particularly in the areas business, management, and leadership skills.To do this is going to require more active and engaged pedagogies that usually providesome opportunity for experiential

Over time this allows for a particularly strong sense of trust to be developedamong collaboratives, as expanded upon below. Curriculum formulation in support ofengineering education, to an ABET approved level, necessitates faculty professionaldevelopment for science, mathematics and technology instructors as well as the “rare”engineering instructor on staff at the TCU. These levels of interaction eventually strengthensindividual collaborations between academics in the program, which heightens concern for thestudents on either side of the transition process. Additional benefits also accrue to the TCUs byavoiding the most costly segment of engineering education

Stages of group development A typical course at the sophomore level would utilize teams as a way to get students workingon more complex problems that develop a broad understanding of the new material. Thus a designproject with greater complexity could be divided into pieces that are each done by an individual butalso coordinated by the team. A research project could cover a much greater range of issues. Ingeneral, these projects would be specified by the instructor, have a range of possible problems andsolutions, and be solvable by high functioning teams.

The abrupt shift disrupted hands-on labs,group projects, and practical experiences important to an engineering education and manyengineering courses [1, 2]. With the loss of access to physical lab spaces, equipment, and campusfacilities, instructors sought creative solutions for achieving course goals and ABET learningoutcomes remotely.

Academics also speculate that there could be asignificant increase in the amount of research done to address the issues currently affectingonline education.Course development can be significantly enhanced when implementing online education. This isbecause collaborative efforts can be made between subject matter experts in certain areas to de-sign related courses. As a result, the courses being offered can be developed jointly, thus givingthe students different perspectives on the subject matter. A similar approach can also be taken toteaching online courses. Courses could be taught by subject matter experts remotely and hencethe students could have access to a much more qualified pool of faculty, thus resulting in a muchbetter

We alsoexplore how informal mentoring may be particularly beneficial for URM students. We proposethat incorporating more informal types of mentoring into the research mentor-menteerelationship is one effective way for faculty to facilitate the retention of URM undergraduatestudents in engineering.Introduction“My mentor believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.

While team-based learning encourages students to work withand learn from their peers, it may also result in an environment which pressures students in anunfamiliar environment or encourages pre-existing inequities to grow.Another major concern from students regarding team-based learning is the idea that team-basedlearning brings about unfair grading experiences.

Most institutions interested in these programs must deal with limitedresources when designing an appropriate learning environment, limited teacher time to devote tomaintaining systems, limited administrative support due to misunderstanding of these skills, andaccidental (or deliberate) misuse of tools and skills. All of these issues can hinder or halt agrowing cyber-security program.
