value relates to the identification of unexpected opportunities. A number of specificand measurable EM student outcomes were developed by Ohio Northern University, termed theexpanded KEEN student outcomes (eKSOs) [6]. The eKSOs cover both the primary EM categories ofcuriosity, making connections, and creating value and the secondary EM categories ofcommunication, collaboration, and character. In the same way that PBL can be used to helpstudents practice and improve their practical skills, entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) canbe used to help students to identify and solve problems in innovative ways using EM skills [7].Additionally, information literacy is one of the skills prioritized by employers that recentgraduates tend to lack that is

Particularly concerning tothe U.S. government is that most commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) UAS are manufactured byChinese companies, such as DJI, who holds as much as 75% market share of an $21 billion peryear industry. The cybersecurity implications of this led the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) toban the purchase and use of COTS UASs for DoD work in 2018, and the following year the U.S.Department of the Interior grounded its fleet of 70 DJI UASs. Accordingly, there has been anincreased interest in how to secure UASs.Project OverviewThis project took place at a medium-sized, business-and-STEM only institution in the south-eastern U.S. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the intended purpose of thisproject is

[12] explain that a report in 1997 by the National Science Foundationoutlined the need for engineering curricula to place more emphasis on teamwork, project-basedlearning, and industry connections, which influence retention, student learning, and diversity.Although these changes had a positive effect on students, a disconnect still lingered in the area ofdiversity. Active learning, a form of interactive teaching, emerged as a method to center students inthe learning process, have them engage in activities to foster critical thinking, develop activeparticipation through hands-on activities, mentor students in the learning process, and utilizeteaching tools to

As such, there is a need todiscuss the current state of quantitative methods used in engineering education, and how topromote the broader use of appropriate advanced quantitative methods (Chou & Chang, 2010;Godwin et al., 2021; Malmi et al., 2018). Given the rapid development and evolution of engineering education, it is essential torecognize, review, and critique the collaborative efforts made by quantitative researchers inrecent years with a systematic literature review.

This leads to a wide variety of project topics, which thus has different effectson the lessons learned and experience gained by our students. However, all projects have incommon that the team orientation promotes the development of certain generic skills stronglyrequired by industry, like the ability to

TheSCORBOT-ER 4u manipulator is a lightweight, 10.8 kg (23.8 lbs) system with a maximum linearspeed of 700 mm/sec (27.6 in/sec). Though not a collaborative manipulator, this low-mass andlow-speed system leverages a belt-drive design to create a low-inertia platform that is safe foreducational use. Similar to its industrial counterparts, the SCORBOT-ER 4u system includes amanipulator, controller, teach pendant, and proprietary programming environment [1].

Forexample, students in engineering tend to be visual or kinesthetic learners.

During Fall 2020, students were non-residential, taking the course from four US time zones, and multiple countries in Asia.The course focuses primarily on mass and energy balances, and their application to analyzingprocess flows, and has the following course goals: 1. Students will be able to explain how chemical engineers approach problems and what roles chemical engineers serve across industries. 2. Students will be able to propose quantitative solutions to a variety of complex problems using approaches familiar to chemical engineers, such as

grant thismodule had been used in four courses at the university but all the gamification efforts were stillvery much designed on demand. We hope all that this module will eventually become one thatfaculty can use without the year-long project described here.Gamification can mean a lot of different things. Pandey lists eight elements which are commonto most systems: challenges, levels, instant feedback, scores, badges, leaderboards, competition,and collaboration [1]. I have not attempted to provide a literature review of gamification; InsteadI would point the reader to any of those referenced here: Caponetto reviews through 2014,Majuri through 2018, and Indriasari through 2020 [2-4].

threat sources. There is also a need for faculty to teach key skills to students, at all levels,to help meet workforce needs. Thus, REU participants may go on to further study and topositions in industry, research institutions, government or academia where the skills that theyhave learned during the REU can be put to use.Undergraduate research [22] is not the only way that PBL has been used for student learning incybersecurity, though. PBL has been used previously in several other ways. Learning usingpuzzles [23] and challenges [24] has been demonstrated. Experiential education techniques suchas games [25] and competitions [26] have also been used to teach cybersecurity skills.3. Program and Situation ContextThe societal impact of the COVID-19
