support from A Scholarship Program to Increase Retention in Engineering (ASPIRE):Improving Work-Study-Life Balance. The goal of the program was to increase retention ofsophomore and junior engineering students who show academic promise but are at risk of notcompleting their studies due to financial concerns and/or life-work-study balance issues. Inaddition to financial support, ASPIRE provided scholarship recipients with opportunities toparticipate in activities that contribute to persistence such as tutoring, faculty mentoring,conferences, presentations and career planning workshops. Sixty-one students have beenawarded scholarships in this five-year period.This paper examines the effectiveness of ASPIRE to help students alleviate financial

decision was made to implementthe changes proposed by the USMA faculty at the 2017 ASEE conference, with assistance fromWest Point. The question this paper strives to answer is: can a similar course redesign producesimilar results at another institution, that in many respects is very different from the US MilitaryAcademy? Essentially, is the West Point redesign reproducible and the results replicable and ifso, under what conditions? It is also an aim of this paper to present the challenges, issues, andsuccesses of implementing this plan with the objective of aiding other programs who might wantto incorporate the ideas originally detailed by faculty from the US Military Academy in theirengineering mechanics sequence redesign.The motivation

Additionally, the same statisticaltechnique was applied to measure the change in current and planned future use of each of thethree strategies, which was reported as a single item question on a four-point Likert scale fromthe participants. These changes were then calculated as percentage changes for ease ofinterpretation. As shown in Figure 5, there were statistically significant increases in expectancy(or faculty expectations of successful implementation) and value with respect to implementingreal-world applications in the classroom as well as statistically significant decrease in the costrelated when comparing responses prior to and after faculty development

Resultsfrom the focus groups showed that the professional activities were valued, but social activitieswere valued more. These findings became clearer in the focus group sessions where studentsindicated that the social activities allowed time for scholars to make social connections acrossacademic disciplines.

Cybersecurity Education in K-12In response to the gap in cybersecurity workforce and talent, colleges and universitieshave started offering cybersecurity degrees [2]. However, it is our belief that a long-term solution to the cybersecurity workforce is to start educating students about thosetopics at early age. Surely the K-12 cybersecurity program should provide students withvaluable learning experiences. One of the shortcomings in K-12

Specifically, these authors highlight theimportance of incorporating real-world experiences into the engineering curriculum as the mosteffective way to integrate both professional and technical skill development into acomprehensive educational experience [5]. Though informative, students’ attitudes regardingthese methods are essential to understand as theory suggests attitudes are immediate precursorsto actual behaviors (i.e., theory of planned behavior) [6].
