PBSL Activities The four PBSL activities are as follows: 1) “I am an instructor in a STEM class”: At the moment of the writing, we are still discussingwith a local high school for details. We plan to conduct this activity in fall 2017. 2) “Design customized food barrels for a food pantry”: This project challenges sophomoresto work on a project that is not strictly designed (assumptions, contexts, etc.) but has a concreteend goal. Through communication with employees at the local food pantry, 16 students in 8teams interacted with them at each step of their projects such as design, development, and testphases to maintain constant goal alignment. This activity is being implemented into theTechnical Communications course this semester

A team of computer security researchers planned to report Wednesday that it had been able to gain wireless access to a combination heart defibrillator and pacemaker. They were able to reprogram it to shut down and to deliver jolts of electricity that could potentially have been fatal if the device had been in a person. In this case, the researchers were hacking into a device in a laboratory. The researchers said they had also been

Students who pursue an interdisciplinaryengineering studies education (IDES) do not plan to practice engineering, while themultidisciplinary engineering program (MDE) is ABET accredited and provides students with aneducation that supports an engineering career by combining multiple disciplines to solve theirproblems of interests.ParticipantsWe used purposeful sampling to recruit participants for this pilot study.

a reason, but others viewed theirengineering degrees as a “back-up” in case other plans failed [7].Because of the disconnect between students studying engineering and choosing career pathsoutside of engineering, major selection is not necessarily a perfect predictor of career choice andthe terms should not be used synonymously. Major selection is the decision of what to study at acollege or university; for example, chemical engineering. Career choice is the field in which arecent graduate decides to work upon graduation; for example, paper processing and production.In this example, the student’s major selection and career choice are in a common field:engineering. However, if the student had decided to pursue medical school or work in
