While the cyber security spending has past 96.3 billion dollars by the beginning of 2019 (according to the internationalresearch and advisory firm, GartnerInc. estimation) and cybercrimes increased to affect various parties (government, or-ganizations, individuals, etc.), more and more students are to seek cyber security degrees or certificates. Therefore, in thecyber security teaching, the curriculum should satisfy necessary advanced skills that align with highly-demanded certificationexams, e.g., Certified Information Systems Security Professional

When askedhow they would improve their education, the members of the Student Council consistentlymentioned that they would like to see more demonstrations and have more hands-on labs wherethey could explore the various theoretical topics discussed in class.

The use of robots as a tool also enables students to “discover” the relationshipbetween the two areas.IntroductionThis paper deals with pedagogical problems that were encountered in teaching automation,robotics, and controls systems to engineering technology and manufacturing engineeringstudents at Texas State University-San Marcos.

Engineering Educationhad shortcomings in the knowledge of prerequisite topics that prevented them from following andunderstanding the materials being covered in courses. This required that the instructor review theprerequisite topics before starting to lecture on new topics in the course. Therefore, the instructorcould not introduce all the course topics that were covered in the past, but only focus on the mostimportant topics in the course. For example, when the conduction was being covered in the heattransfer course, some students could not solve a simple second order ordinary differential equationsuch as 𝑑𝑑 2 𝑇𝑇⁄𝑑𝑑𝑥𝑥 2 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐, even though a course covering differential equation is a prerequisite.

It is important for engineering education to have the multi-and cross-disciplinary approaches expected of practicing engineers. Design education needs a perspective ofproduction-related topics while manufacturing education needs an emphasis on manufacturing response todesign changes. The Design & Manufacturing course introduced at R.P.I. in Spring 1995 combined elements of bothdesign and manufacturing education in a new way. This upper-class Mechanical Engineering course gives avertical exposure to elements of the design-to-production process.
