Ultimately it is the goal of the authors to move students to higher levels of Kohlberg’sStages of Moral Development [17] in an effort to have our students make right actions inaccordance with “ethical principles appealing to logical comprehensiveness, universality, andconsistency.”This topic became particularly prescient to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy when on March 13,2019, it launched its ninth major: Cyber Systems.

Ournew curriculum, that was the result of a multi-year effort, is centered around a “design spine”.The design spine, series of eight courses, is expected to improve the development of professionalskills, improve fluency with data analysis and computing skills, improve critical thinking skills,and integrate systems thinking through project-based learning. The design spine helps connectand integrate the separate subdiscipline courses typical of most civil engineering curricula as asystem of systems.The

? Recursively, in terms of yet another. But, since recursion needs a base case, there must be a domain that is not understood in terms of another. So, it must be understood in terms of itself. How? Syntactically! Put briefly, bluntly and a bit paradoxically, semantic understanding is syntactic understanding. Thus, any cognitive agent-including a computer- capable of syntax (symbol manipulation) is capable of understanding language. 21 Strong proponents of AI whose ideas regarding the computability of intelligence are being incorporated into the curriculum include Dennett, Lycan, and Hofstadter22,23,24,25,26,27,28.

Students can use a simulation to explore manyvariations on a reactor very quickly, allowing them to investigate cause-effectrelationships in the process such as the effect of temperature, pressure or initialconcentration on conversion. The literature contains much discussion on pedagogicallysound uses for process simulators throughout the curriculum. [3-6]However, these computer laboratories have limitations. One point is that they areabstract, and a natural learning progression requires that students have some tactileexperience with the equipment and the process before they are asked to use abstractmodels.
