Accreditation

• The B.S. Electrical Engineering (BSEE) program was reviewed by an EAC-ABET team in Fall 2016. There were no shortcomings whatsoever cited, and the team commended the program’s outcome assessment and continuous improvement process. Subsequently, the BSEE Self-study Report was selected by ABET as an exemplary model and displayed at the 2017 ABET Symposium on April 20-21, 2017.

External Grants & Recognitions

• Dr. Azarderakhsh received $72,000 as part of a $363,000 grant awarded and distributed by NASA to FDU and another institution for a collaborative project titled, “A Multi-Sensor Calibration Algorithm for Improving Emissivity Retrieval by Integrating Microwave Brightness Temperature Diurnal Cycle.” • GHSCSE received a generous donation of $38,115, including $8,000 for scholarships, from the Mechanical Contractors Association of New Jersey (MCANJ) to support GHSCSE programs in this academic year, 2016-2017. This year’s grant raises the total donation received from MCANJ to $518,903 over a period of 14 years. • GHSCSE has been conducting the Technical Enrichment and Outreach Program (TEOP) for 35 to 50 high school students every semester, 12 Saturdays per semester, for 10 years, involving 11 high schools and/or school districts. This academic year, the program has received grants of $10,000 from PSEG, $10,000 from Teva Pharmaceuticals, and $5,000 from UPS through the FDU STEM Academy, which was recently established by integrating GHSCSE’s three outreach programs, raising the total donation received to date to $303,000. Past donors included the Toyota USA Foundation, GE, Verizon, the John Victor Machuga Foundation, the ExxonMobil Foundation, the Paterson School District, PSEG, Sony, BAE Systems, and UPS. This program is also supported by a $1 million endowment gift from Dr. Gregory Olsen, FDU alumnus, trustee, and benefactor. • Dr. Mondal received a grant of $10,000 from Verizon Foundation for the Fall 2016 pilot presentation of eight weeks of GHSCSE’s Computing and Security Enrichment Outreach Program (CSEOP).

Outreach

• In Fall 2016, 39 students from Paterson, Union City, and Hackensack School Districts attended the Technical Enrichment and Outreach Program (TEOP). Likewise, in Spring 2017, 41 students from the Paterson and Union City School Districts and METS (Math, Engineering, Technology and Science) Charter School in Jersey City, attended the program. As usual, the program was well received by students, their parents and teachers. Prof. Lewis coordinated the program. • In Fall 2016, Dr. Mondal ran an 8-Saturday high school outreach program, “Computing and Security Enrichment Outreach Program (CSEOP),” in which 16 high school students, plus parents and school administrators, from two NJ high schools participated. Students learned about Computing and NAO Robot; Internet and Internet Security; Creative Programming Using SCRATCH; Criminal Justice and Cybercrime; Network Security; and Computer and Cyber Careers in a hands-on presentation and lab series. • In Fall 2015, Drs. Mondal and Zhao of GHSCSE helped organize the FDU Center for Cybersecurity and Information Assurance’s fourth Annual Symposium on Cybersecurity and Internet of Things. About 180 students, faculty, and professionals attended. Mital Mehta, a graduate CS student, was awarded joint third prize in the poster competition, held during the Symposium, by the IEEE North Jersey Section. FDU is officially designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. • GHSCSE has conducted a seminar series on the latest developments in EE, computer engineering, CS, and other related fields since Fall 2009. Coordinated by Drs. Mao and Zhao, 49 seminars on contemporary topics have been conducted since its inception, including five seminars presented in AY 2016-2017. Additionally, Drs. Zhao and Tan have organized two IEEE co-sponsored seminars at the Metropolitan Campus this academic year.

Curriculum Development

• Two new programs, MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (MSCSIA) and BS in Mechanical Engineering (BSME), will be offered in Fall 2017. The MSCSIA program has two focus areas: secure software development and network security administration; the BSME, four focus areas: mechanical design, electromechanical devices and controls, advanced manufacturing, and thermal sciences. Two more new programs, BS in Computer Engineering and BSCSIA, are being developed.

• Dr. Kose developed a special topics course on Machine Learning, which was taken and well received by undergraduate and graduate students in 2016.

Faculty Recognition

Dr. Miriam Singer was awarded the University’s Distinguished Faculty Service Award in Fall 2016. She was also honored by Young Israel Passaic Clifton for service to the community.

Student Activities & Accomplishments

Gabriel Tavarez, an outstanding QUEST student, has been awarded a University College Dean’s Award for 2017.

The School of Education’s student chapter of the NJ Education Association (NJSEA) has been very active this past year. On the Metro campus, the chapter organized many different community service events.

External Grants & Contracts

The Alcoa Foundation and the Bayer Foundation awarded Vicki Cohen funds to support the second year of a two-year project incorporating problem-based units focused on sustainable topics into teachers’ curriculum. The SOE in collaboration with the Institute for Sustainable Enterprise held a very successful two-day workshop in July 2016 with 30 teachers from 10 different school districts attending. Many of the schools had very exciting sustainable projects that they implemented into their classes. The Summer 2017 Workshop is currently being planned.

New Initiatives & Partnerships

SOE has established over 15 new professional partnerships with local schools in the area. These include: Fairmount School in Hackensack, Normanday Park School in Morristown, St. Elizabeth Montessori School in Parsippany, Calabro School in Hoboken, Van Derveer School in Somerville, Jefferson and Washington School in Summit, Whittier School in Teaneck and schools in North Bergen.

Outreach

SOE offered the sixth Summer Teaching Academy (STA), which introduced 15 high school seniors to the world of teaching and its responsibilities. Students participated in hands-on activities in math and science, took a pontoon boat ride on the Hackensack River, and taught a lesson to Camp Discovery students. Approximately 10% of our STA students have applied and been accepted to FDU. The 2017 Summer Teaching Academy is planned for this July.

Ten QUEST students were sent to the Wroxton campus this year to do field placements in local English schools. SOE has partnerships with 7 schools in the area. The program has expanded to include Educational Leadership candidates.

Bryan Meadows and Dan Aronoff will be taking 9 students to Japan in June 2017 as part of the study abroad course, EDUC 3406 Field Experience Global: Japan, which they co-developed.

Bryan Meadows is serving on the Executive Board of NJTESOL/NJBE, the statewide professional organization of ESL and Bilingual K-12 educators. Additionally, he is serving as campus liaison for the NJTESOL/NJBE Bergen/Passaic county chapter, which holds monthly meetings on the FDU Metro campus.

Curriculum Development

The SOE has been busy implementing the edTPA, a performance-based assessment that starting Fall 2017 will be required of all teaching candidates applying for initial certification in the State of New Jersey. Teaching candidates must submit a portfolio to Pearson addressing 15 rubrics, which includes uploading a video of the candidate teaching a lesson to students in a classroom. Pearson scores the assessment and a passing score will be required starting Fall 2018 to obtain certification.

The Preschool-Grade 3 (P-3) Early Childhood initial certification and endorsement for certified teachers had its first cohort of students enrolled this year.

The Bilingual/Bicultural Teacher Education program was approved by the New Jersey Department of Education and had its first cohort class.

SOE is now running the third cohort of the Dual Certification in Elementary Education and Special Education with approximately 30 students in each cohort.
