The grading scripts were used for 6 years until the Linux operatingsystems (CentOS 5 and CentOS 6) of the virtual machines reached their end of life. It was alsotime to update the labs again as some contents were getting old. For example, the NetworkIntrusion Detection System Bro was renamed to Zeek with major revisions in 2018. In 2021, westarted a project to redesign the labs and virtual lab environment in ICTN 4201.LAB REDESIGN PROJECT The development procedure of the project consisted of five steps: 1) the prerequisites andoutcomes of the labs were reevaluated and redefined if necessary. For instance, an outcome wasdefined as follows

The feasibility report included assessment of growth of the bioscienceindustry, cohesion with existing programs at the institution, potential students, and current trendsand future needs. Based on the outcomes of the report, a new undergraduate biomedicalengineering (BME) program was established with an innovative and unique curriculum. Theinnovative nature of the new program is demonstrated through the utilization of liberal artspedagogical practices and interventions, 4 credit hours courses, the background and training of theprograms 3 faculty members, a project-based curriculum, and the program emphases on analytics

In this intervention, studentsare challenged to consider bias in engineering design and its impacts on others through a semester-long project composed of a series of individual and team exercises. This intervention is designedto raise students’ awareness of bias in biomedical engineering designs and processes and theimpacts they have on them and on others.Demand for inclusive design and responsible innovationEngineers’ works significantly affect the world, so they should be aware of assumptions they makewhen they create a new product.

need to learn embeddeddevelopment comes up repeatedly in the context of our capstone senior design experience, and hasresulted in the individual instruction of many students at our institution, over many years, often in theform of guided tutorials. While effective enough to support the capstone course, this approach does notexpose every student that wants to acquire this skill set with the opportunity to do so; such instruction islimited to those students that need to learn the skills to support a project. It also lacks the efficiency of aclassroom approach.Microcontroller skills can be acquired today without formal instruction.

Engineers can be important mediators or gatekeepers for the input of diversestakeholders on the technology development (e.g. machine learning bias). Therefore, our workingvision for engineering ethics education is two-fold: (1) to empower students as moral agents whoeffectively negotiate for social and ethical responsibility in the technology

These recommendations are consistent with those from a more recent paneldiscussion on standards education at the Capstone Design Conference in 2012, which furtherrecognized that, to help achieve the desired proficiency of students to apply standardsappropriately in their capstone design project, standards education should start earlier in thecurriculum [7].Several barriers to effective teaching of standards in engineering curricula have been cited

In the past, the resourcesnecessary for CBI were in short supply, but now that many universities maintain powerful computingenvironments, questions about the effectiveness and efficiency of CBI arise. To investigate the effectiveness of CBI, the project team developed three CBI units--one each for design,analysis, and background information--for use in a junior-level transportation engineering class. The team thenconducted controlled experiments with the units. The team divided the participating class randomly in half. Anexam covering material other than that in the CBI units was used to ensure that neither group had superiorstudents. One group received traditional classroom instruction

The residency requirement provides the doctoral student with intensive study leading to candidacy examinations. The rationale varies from college to college, but has its reasoning based in the necessity for departmental academic interests to be understood and also as a preparation for the research project that the student selects.

For the individual instructor, the time survey provides feedback on how muchtime students are spending on class preparation, homework, projects, and examinations. For the programdirector, the survey provides a reasonably accurate assessment of the relative academic rigor of the courseswhich constitute the program.
