power-generation systems. The RWE offerssignificant improvements over traditional combustion engines in efficiency, cost, size, and weightdue to its physical simplicity and compactness.The students performed as a team in a collaborative university, industry, and government researchprogram. The result of this collaboration was successful from both a research and education pointof views. The students, supervised by their faculty and industry mentors, conducted design andengine tests and produced experimental data from a new engine hardware. This funded projectproposed a unique opportunity for the students to have meaningful research experience in the fieldof advanced propulsion systems by building and testing an operating gas turbine engine which

This paper presents the author’simplementation of a team assignment to create a podcast about a topic related to one of theGrand Challenges of Engineering. Student teams researched a chosen aspect of a GrandChallenge; they collaborated to ensure a cohesive vision for the podcast; they prepared questionsand recorded interviews with guests; they assembled their individual segments into a cogentstructure depending upon the podcast genre selected by the team. The paper addresses bothpedagogical and practical aspects of the assignment and presents learning objectives andassessments. Additionally, ABET outcomes are considered. Finally

For example, Sheppard et al.(2003)8 found that the utilization of ground rules systems and peer feedback tools is importantfor international and virtual team-based projects, where students are geographically dispersed asthey attempt to achieve interdependent organizational tasks. This is more reflective of the currentglobal environment of business and engineering, and highlights the need for ground rulessystems to foster collaboration and team

From observations of high school cybersecuritycompetitions, we find that typical high school cybersecurity competitions focus narrowly oncomputer-technical competencies. A byproduct of these competitions is to create an intimidatingatmosphere that rewards young adults who are already proficient in computer IT activities, but adiscouraging environment to students who may have burgeoning interests in cybersecurity.Additionally, the skill set needed for cybersecurity
