If the student passed the exams withan 80% or better, then they would receive the credit and official transcript from the university.The teachers created the lesson plans and taught the course at their respective schools.Second Stage of the Course DevelopmentThe new model of the course being developed and taught at the university includes teachingglobally using an active learning environment fostering computational and visual thinking

Section 2 presents an explanatory and detailed overview of some efforts thatwere done in the past to integrate GENI and SDN in order to facilitate and boost cyber security learning experience. Section 3.2then presents our research efforts towards the integration of GENI and SDN in our teaching curriculum and development ofa broad range of cyber security labs and experimental modules. Finally, in Section 4 we present our future plans along withconcluding remarks of our paper.2 RELATED WORKIn cyber security for Higher Education (HE), curriculums encompass topics including secure software development, websecurity

students. The new Engineering Plus degree has a core setof required foundational courses in engineering, a multi-year design sequence, and allows forself-defined pathways. The new curriculum also offers three defined degree pathways that havebeen chosen based on an examination of student “fate” data: secondary education, pre-medical,and environmental studies, with additional pathways planned for the near future. The fateanalysis examined the paths of students who were enrolled in an engineering or STEM major inone year and samples their major choice in the following year. This analysis maps the flow ofstudents into and out of the major with demographic slicers to more closely understand these in-migration and out-migration choices.This paper will

Theseprograms provide them with important knowledge and skills and help them gain a betterunderstanding of science and engineering careers.This paper describes a two-week STEM Summer Enrichment Program (STEM-SEP) designedfor high school students.

What differentiates modern VVO techniques from traditional approaches is the useof integrated monitoring and communication systems. In the past, utilities would manage voltageregulators and VAR compensation devices independently, which would be suboptimal onfeeders, substations, and the distribution system. Advances in infrastructure and software haveallowed VVO to become a major resource for utilities in implementing energy efficiencyimprovements.3.1 Conservation Voltage ReductionConservation voltage reduction (CVR) is the planned lowering of the voltage magnitude ondistribution circuits with the goal of reducing load demand and energy consumption

To address this, we’ll assign the calculation portion of the labs as part of the weeklyhomework, next year.Thirdly, lack of good simulation software. Ideally, good engineering labs should follow acalculate -> simulate -> construct -> design format. Although both instructors have done someMatlab activities for this class, including useful student assignments with numerical analysistechniques, it’s not quite the same educational value as having an industry standardelectromagnetic simulation package.

, 100% of the responding indicated they were extremely (94%) or somewhat (6%) satisfied with their overall experience in the S-STEM program. All students indicated their meetings with the S-STEM Student Success Coach were extremely or somewhat informative. Also, success rate of S-STEM students is higher than the other students in all STEM courses (e.g. calculus I, engineering statics, physics I). At the present, the actual impact of the Student Success Coach on academic success remains to be determined as incoming ACT scores indicate that the S-STEM cohort is academically better prepared. Further analysis is planned to investigate this. Additional updated and detailed information will be provided on our poster.Introduction

While the Career Services presentation was perceivedas being extremely/very useful by most students, students were not as satisfied with workshops focused on general study skillsand time management. In the future we plan to rework these sessions to include a clearer connection to the CS major. A majority of the students were extremely satisfied with the organized social events with student leaders from Women inTech and the Diversity in Computing (Diversineers) student groups in our department. The Faculty Scavenger Hunt was alsorated highly by students. Figure 4 shows student feedback on those events.

institutions. There is an urgent and growing need for workforce ready technicians to fill industry roles.The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicated that the job outlook for mechanical and civilengineering technicians showed a 3% and 5% increase respectively in the 10-year span from 2018-2028, where the median salary is over $50,000 [2]. An innovative plan must be developed to assurethat the number of students enrolled in surrounding for-credit Tech Ed programs increases, andthat increasing retention and graduation rates is a priority [3]. A solution to this problem is rootedin our Center for Workforce Development (CWD) and in soft skills training through our CWD,and our Business and Innovation Department.
