Specifically, wefocus on natural language processing (NLP), which is the subfield of AI that focuses on enablingcomputers to understand and use human language. Importantly, the study of language naturallyleads to topics that appeal to social, cultural, and humanistic concerns, which have been shown tohave more appeal to minoritized groups. Luring students with this premise provides anopportunity to draw more explicit connections to the impact of cybersecurity globally, but also totheir specific communities.

Throughout the reflections, students highlightedthe importance of developing empathy through active listening, the importance of feedback,and the necessity to gain multiple perspectives.

In order to address this situation, we have engaged upperclassmen lab managers toprovide technical assistance and support to our freshmen since we first developed this courseover fifteen years ago. Each lab manager is completely responsible for a team of five freshmen,including a review of the team’s protocols in lab and assistance during the lab as needed. Labmanagers are instructed to guide their students to a solution through questions, rather thandirectly telling them the best method. More importantly, the lab managers serve as mentors to thefreshmen and provide advice outside of the lab on course

At first light this proposalwould seem to add yet another layer of non-technical requirements on the student with theinevitable result of decreasing the technical content of their degree. Although this proposal mayhave merit, discussions with graduates have indicated that unless this classroom experience in aforeign language is soon followed by an in depth international trip/exchange, the long-termsignificance will be minimal.

Theliterature outlines several best approaches to effectively implement learning into camps. Workingwith hands-on activities increases interest in engineering while allowing students to practiceproblem solving and designing their own solutions to a problem [9 -11]. Such activities reinforceteamwork and communication skills as students collaborate in groups to develop solutions andexplain their ideas [11]. While using hands-on projects are common practice, they often lack amathematical component, which gives a less than accurate representation of college engineeringprograms [10].

The multitude of these negative sophomore experiences is believed to contribute to the“slump” collectively and are known to hinder students’ academic progression and deter themfrom persisting in their studies [7], [10]. Indeed, dissatisfaction with institutional services was aunique
