To address thischallenge, we developed an approach to engage first-year commuter students in our departmentallearning community.

Team-teaching is different than a standardteaching assistant appointment or a faculty mentoring program. The duties involve preparing anddelivering lectures, preparing homework and exam materials, and interacting with students aspeers with a faculty member, while being directly compared to the faculty member. Ourexperiences range from implementing new tools to enhance learning, to dealing withundergraduates to enhance the ability to supervise students.

The work presented heregoes further than [12] in describing the details of a broad collection of projects.Ethical and professional responsibilities are often raised as a concern. Ethical engineering andprofessional behavior are discussed across engineering education and are often subject to entirecourse curricula [10, 11]. The work described in this paper does not add to the description ofethics and hacking but does require a basic understanding of security ethics between instructorand students before the project can begin.Project-based learning is widely considered an effective tactic for reinforcing concepts andintroducing new skills to students of all levels [13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18].

Thistraining gives students an extended opportunity to constantly think about engaging withcommunity members and end-users. This helps engineers transition from a technology-centereddesign philosophy to a human-centered design philosophy [12]. Along these lines, thisexperience can help an engineer to first examine the needs of users in their design process, whichmay not be their default approach when designing solutions [13], [14].

Another objective of this courseis to eliminate those misconceptions the students may have inherited from their secondaryeducation. In brief, MATH 101 seeks to simplify the transition between high school anduniversity-level mathematics courses.Based on the main objective of MATH 101 stated above, the vast experience of our faculty, andthe instructional coherence [10, 11] of our mathematics curriculum, we made a careful selectionof each of the topics covered in this course.
