isproving challenging to many engineering schools and individual faculty.1 One reason is thatthere are systemic obstacles to changing teaching practices.2 If engineering education is to moveforward, currently available pedagogies need effective paths into engineering schools andindividual classrooms. This goal is challenging and there are some significant hurdles to address.This qualitative study explored using a community of practice to help faculty acquire andimplement effective pedagogies while in place in their institution. Our starting premise was thatproviding social support with the community and the combined experience of the communitymembers could be sufficient to enable faculty to learn and adopt new pedagogies in their classes.Our

Inthis paper, we propose and illustrate the DACE process as a training framework for noviceresearchers who are brand new to research. The DACE process provides a general set of researchtools, consisting of four steps: (1) Calibration of the computer model(s) for the application ofinterest, (2) Design of experiments to organize a set of computer model input parameter settings,(3) Execution of the computer model(s) to generate performance metric outputs, (4) Analysis ofthe input and output data. For sustainable building design, the performance metric outputsrepresent dimensions related to the pillars of sustainability: people

While early adopters of ROS were graduate students or in-dustry users, increasingly, students and instructors are taking an interest in ROS at the under-graduate level [2] [3] [4] as has been explored at the masters level [5] [6]. However, even justinstalling ROS can be a daunting task for the uninitiated.

CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling

For instructors, it can be hotly debated on the practical use for increasing learningwhile others will debate the grade inflation aspect [1, p. 27]. As for students, a much moreoptimistic view of the concept is more widely accepted since extra credit works in the benefit ofthose partaking. In the existing literature, there is no universal positive or negative opinion onextra credit in the classroom as the practice is mostly left up to the individual instructor.
