is a natural progression from previous attempts at solving this problem11–13.The Current ProblemDeveloping a successful educational program to train those interested in developing the cyber-security skill set is difficult. 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. These problems often lead to a program focused on theory withtoo little attention given to development of practical skills necessary for

Graduation rate data collected from colleges and/or universitieswith four-year undergraduate degrees in construction management education in a specifiedgeographic area will be used to investigate whether existing programs will be able to producesufficient numbers of minority graduates to increase the number of qualified, entry level, minorityconstruction managers available to meet growing demand.

But in the context of other individuals’ expectations of her identity, she grappled with her role.Although some may say that identity is only ever the narrative we tell ourselves about who we are in theworld,36 In Rebecca’s case, that narrative is not only about herself individually but must also make roomfor her social support network.Finally, Rebecca’s case invites us to consider the broader narrative about engineering education thatformed the backdrop to her phenomenological experience.
