Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].

Additionally,hands-on training, crucial for understanding the practical implications of securing interconnectedsystems, is often lacking in conventional lecture settings. This deficiency inhibits students fromgaining essential practical skills in identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks within CPS andIoT environments, leaving them unprepared to tackle real-world challenges in the field. As aresult, there is an urgent need for innovative educational strategies that prioritize experientiallearning and reflect the evolving demands of the cybersecurity landscape within EE programs.On the other hand, the cybersecurity industry is grappling with a significant workforce gap, adilemma

Redman, Wiek, and Barth recommend identifying which reason whichtools should be used and how to connect learning outcomes with the tools used with apsychometric model. Tools vary from student self-assessment, reflective writing, case studies,focus group interviews, performance observation, conventional testing, and regular coursework[15]. These varying methodologies of tools can offer insights into how competent students are inthe realm of sustainability, so those selecting tools should be holistically assessing the topics ofsustainability. For example, one such tool, the Sustainability Matrix, aims to interpretcompetences in resource consumption, design

This difference in perception between colleges couldindicate that these perceptions disproportionately discourage women from pursuing engineeringrelated careers relative to men pursuing health and human services careers, which could explainthe relative low participation of women in engineering compared to other countries. Consideringthat these responses are only from students who are already pursuing degrees in these colleges, itis possible that these perspectives were developed while in the degree programs and may notaccurately reflect perspectives held by individuals at the time of selecting a major.Because differences exist between the proportion of Black/African American and/or

In the United States, the STEM job-growth rateoverall is more than twice the average rate for the total workforce [1, p. 201], with most jobopenings in computer science and engineering (CS&E) [2]. The limited representation ofwomen in these fields is apparent: Women comprise just 28 percent of workers in science andengineering fields overall, and even less in CS&E fields [3].These labor-force dynamics also reflect trends in U.S. higher education: Although women’spostsecondary attainment rates exceed men’s, women remain
