techniques using a project-based learning perspective.IntroductionMany engineering programs in the U.S. now provide students with access to high-tech “makerspaces” to manufacture their designs for student projects1. Yet the engineering curricula, whileadequately covering design and analysis, equips students with little or no formal educationrelated to manufacturing processes2, despite calls from industry to focus more on manufacturingin the engineering curriculum3. This lack of knowledge in manufacturing processes makes itchallenging from a practical and educational standpoint to help students quickly manufacturetheir parts on high-tech manufacturing equipment, such as CNC equipment. However, there is anopportunity to leverage the students
Operational Technologies (OT) domains add to thesurface of attacks to the existing vulnerable Information Technology (IT) systems domain. Theseattacks include a number of diverse threats such as Distributed Denial-of-Service, ransomware,Advanced Persistent Threats and others. All these threats affect the operations of the IT/OT/IoTsystems and cost globally $148 million in 2018 [1, 2].Cybersecurity is interdisciplinary by nature. The survey in [3] shows that cybersecurity science isnot only related to computer and engineering science, but to many different sciences such asinformation science, business and management, psychology, criminal justice, and forensic science.We recommend in this work that a cybersecurity program should be interdisciplinary to

Sophomore in mechanical engineering. The University ofMichigan requires a freshman computing class of all engineering majors; However none of thestudents involved had chosen C programming ( most took FORTRAN ), and the Juniors andSeniors were very rusty on the programming that they had not used since their freshman year.Nine of the thirteen chemical engineering students had completed the chemical reactionengineering course ( the subject of the VR modules ) prior to starting work on the project. Theother four chemical engineering students were taking the reactor design course concurrently with Page 2.450.1their research on this project, and the

There is electricitycurrently on aircraft, but with the switch to electric propulsion the designers, technicians, andoperators will be exposed to new procedures and hardware related to higher voltage andamperage. One of the primary sources of higher voltage is the battery. Generally, traditional aircraftuse lead-acid or nickel-cadmium (Ni-cd) batteries with 10-25 volts and 10-50 Ah values,whereas battery-driven aircraft will use lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (LiPo) batterieswith 200V to 600V or more. The ampere-hour (Ah) rating of these batteries can vary from a fewtens to several hundred Ah. The values can vary from one aircraft to another depending on
