, would become a criterion forevaluating the designs in the future based on these early results. After the first run of the project,there was also impetus to assess more than just power output and cost and so criteria ofaesthetics, craftsmanship, and creativity/innovation we also implemented into the grading for theprototypes. These last three criteria have always been evaluated based on peer feedback as wellas instructor evaluation and were weighted fairly equally with power output and cost. When thisset of criteria was first established, the rubric which showed that they were of equal importancewas given to the students (this would change in later years and this shift will be discussed furtherin the next section). However, it was often the case

Web-CAT is known for al- lowing instructors to grade students based on how well they test their own code. In addition, his research group has produced a number of other open-source tools used in classrooms at many other institutions. Currently, he is researching innovative for giving feedback to students as they work on assignments to provide a more welcoming experience for students, recognizing the effort they put in and the accomplish- ments they make as they work on solutions, rather than simply looking at whether the student has finished what is required. The goals of his research are to strengthen
IoT and possible threats, attacksand defense techniques as well as to assist in learning new technologies and tools. In addition,students will be able to increase their skills, knowledge and abilities of IoT and cybersecurity. Thecourse will develop their competency in innovation processes, develop their leadership/soft skills,and prepare them for a career in cybersecurity.The second motivation for this course is the industry trend towards technology convergence intoday’s advanced manufacturing. Industries and organizations are rapidly converging their IT withtheir (Operational Technology) OT to provide new IoT systems. A persistent influx of networkedindustrial control solutions into the manufacturing processes has led to a rapidly growing

Because of the benefits to the field, some view it as imperativethat we more intentionally include students with disabilities within the civil engineering contextbecause they can provide nuanced and important insights to advance the accessibility ofinfrastructure and the field of civil engineering design. While we agree that diversity itself can beadvantageous, however, we believe it is equally, if not more, imperative to address inclusionfrom the perspective of justice and equity. That is, we believe that as a field, engineeringeducation is morally and ethically responsible for
