to be more efficient in my time management. It reallyhelped that our advisor gave clear weekly targets and expectations.One such experience about time management sticks out above the rest: there was a week when Iwas waist-deep in work on my Capstone project. I was tasked with 3D modeling a motor box fora rotating wire system. Creating the 3D models for this design ate up most of my time that weekand I still needed to get my responsibilities done for the research. To help get my work done thatweek I had to create a schedule for myself on which times I would allocate solely for research.Creating this schedule helped me be more on track for the tasks I had been assigned that week aswell as a continued time frame that I would always put towards

Sophomore and junior level courses often donot develop knowledge and abilities of students with respect to the engineering design process.However, the mechanics of materials course represents an excellent opportunity tosimultaneously develop abilities for analyzing material failure and abilities to connect failureanalysis to the engineering design process.

Antonio, thus showing the transferability ofthe curriculum.IntroductionThe 2017 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicines’ report on UndergraduateResearch Experiences (URE) for STEM Students: Successes, Challenges, and Opportunitiesmakes over 50 references to teams and teamwork, such as the URE’s tendency to “emphasize andexpect collaboration and teamwork” [1]. The report does not contain systematic recommendationsfor team training among its numerous contributing sources. This absence may indicate that teamtraining measures do not keep up with the increased curricular use of team projects. In fact,students are often required to work in groups without adequate preparation and guidelines for suchinterpersonal interactions [2-9

engineering degree programs.Undergraduate engineering curricula include engineering ethics through specialized courses andprogram-wide integration. While some engineering programs embed one stand-alone ethicscourse within a curriculum, other programs embed ethics modules across a few courses within acurriculum. Very few engineering programs weave engineering ethics across a four-yearundergraduate curriculum in a concerted and developmental way [7]. Engineering ethics taughtin stand-alone courses is usually offered within the first two years of study [4]. According toDavis [6], several engineering programs also embed ethical modules into technical writing andcommunication seminars, senior capstone projects, and introduction to engineering courses

experience is limitedto a single capstone project undertaken in their final year [13-15]. Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering

Studies have demonstrated that STEM students find it challenging to work with adiverse population. This is juxtaposed with the reality that over 50% of STEM employers preferto hire interculturally competent graduates. As such, national agencies and higher educationinstitutions have been urging STEM faculty to integrate intercultural competence into thecurriculum. Through this study, we intend to showcase the integration of interculturalcompetence concepts in a first-year cybersecurity classroom.
