AB  - As industries worldwide embrace the next wave of innovation, the integration of technologies like cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a key driver of change, with applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to large-scale critical infrastructures. Unfortunately, the increasing use of communication networks to monitor and control these systems has increased their vulnerabilities to cyber threats, posing significant risks that can cause economic losses and even lead to loss of lives. To prepare future electrical engineers for these emerging challenges, it is essential to include cyber-physical security modules with experiential learning in their education. These modules should help students develop the expertise to secure CPS integrated with IoT devices against cyber threats by equipping them with theoretical and practical tools to analyze system vulnerabilities and design defense measures. With these skills, students will be better positioned to face real-world challenges and ensure the resilience and safety of these interconnected systems in our increasingly connected world.
In this work in progress, an embedded development kit accompanied by a set of laboratory experiments has been designed and implemented, which allows students to learn foundational principles related to cyber-physical systems security through hands-on experimentation. The embedded development kit integrates real wired and wireless communication networks with industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, a real-world programmable logic controller (PLC), models of real-world applications such as submarine position control and a DC motor speed control, and multiple I/O connections to integrate IoT devices and other external physical systems. The laboratory material spans multiple topics including principles of system modeling, feedback control systems and controller design, networking and IoT, deep packet inspection, attack detection, localization, and mitigation, and digital systems, among others. The proposed experiential learning material has been integrated into existing courses and enabled the students to learn a variety of skills that are not typically included in EE education.
