actuallydeclined in the past decade. To help change the perception of the computing field, researchers atGeorgia Institute of Technology developed EarSketch. EarSketch is an authentic STEAM(STEM + Arts) environment for teaching and learning programming (i.e. where learners areengaged in authentic practices both in computing and in the aesthetics of music remixing) aimedat increasing and broadening participation in computing. In the EarSketch environment, studentswrite code to manipulate, or remix, musical samples. It is an integrated programmingenvironment, digital audio workstation, curriculum, and audio loop library.EarSketch has already been piloted in multiple classroom environments, including ComputerScience Principles (CSP) classes in Atlanta-area

/ libraries / operating systems from the environment used by instructors in grading. The programs written by students may not execute correctly in the different environment and this creates confusion among students. The proposed system eliminates this problem because every student uses the same back end that is virtualized by Docker container. Codecademy ( https://www.codecademy.com/ ) presents stepbystep coding instructions to beginners in an interactive online programming environment. A similar approach is CS Cycles (http://cscircles.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/ ), which integrates universitystyle curriculums, embeds thousands of online autogradable practice assignments, and an

development depends on representational fluencyand the ability to convert between diverse representational forms [7]. Model and modelingprocesses are used to foster integrations and problem-solving skills [8].Implications of the Conceptual Framework for the Learning DesignGuided by our conceptual framework, we used MEAs to deliver our learning design in the formof cybersecurity challenges. As stated previously, the MEAs are activities that intend to simulatereal-word client-driven scenarios in a team-based collaborative environment [4]. In addition,MEAs are essentially open-ended problems that are presented in an authentic context [8].Students’ problem solving skills and understanding of course concepts can be improved with theimplementation of MEAs

outline a graduate-level curriculum for social engineering education, which can be used to teach aspiring offensivecybersecurity analysts the best methods to test the security of an organization’s human element,as well as teach aspiring security professionals about best practices and policies that they can useto protect the resources they are responsible for.IntroductionModern cybersecurity is seeing a spike in attention. Recent vulnerabilities and exploits haveprompted industry professionals to spend a greater amount on cybersecurity measures, frompowerful and comprehensive authentication systems to the most thorough and comprehensivefirewall and anti-virus systems. However, there is a simple fact that cannot be negated by anyamount of money or

As with many computer engineering programs,students of the computer engineering program at Utah Valley University complete their degreeprograms with a semester long capstone design experience. The intent is for students to utilizecompetencies developed in the first three years of the curriculum in the solution of an embeddeddesign problem.Embedded SystemsAn Embedded system is any mechanical or electrical system that is controlled by a computerworking as part of an overall system6.

Identifying expected difficulties: What are the difficulties that students face when taking the course? 3. Real-world context: Why is the course an important part of the CS curriculum, and where can one find its applications? 4. Knowledge model: What is the conceptual model for the course, including prerequisites, course dependencies, and course level? What concepts and techniques should be considered to enhance understanding of the material? 5. Assessment of learning: How does one change the traditional testing and assessment methods to make sure these include formative assessment

to solve problems. They also call for students to make physical system modelsthat demonstrate their learning and understanding [9, 10]. PBL as an instructional practicemeets these objectives and can result in a novel curricular approach that include flexiblystructured activities and learning objectives around distinct learning standards in mathematics,science, engineering, or computer science.Research also indicates that using an interdisciplinary or integrated curriculum providesopportunities for more relevant, less fragmented, and more stimulating experiences forlearners [11]. Recently, there has been a particular interest in finding the overlap betweenengineering education and science, mathematics, and even the social sciences. While

in placefor assessment5. It is easy to collect evidence for assessment in preselected courses so thefaculty will then consider how to evaluate student achievement of skills in these courses.This will help to identify classes in which appropriate assignments are already part of thecurriculum, usually in a class in which the student outcome was a primary emphasis ofthe course. In this way, it is made sure that assessment is not an additional burden to thefaculty. We would also like to agree with authors9 that state that the best source ofcurriculum change seems to be the competent and experienced faculty who reviewcourses and curriculum on their own and propose curriculum and courses changes bothsmall and revolutionary

Leverage of Open Source Software (OSS) CommunitiesEffective external benchmarking activities must be encouraged and taught in SE courses in orderfor students to understand modern and relevant software benchmarking techniques. An easilyadaptable method is to use one of several large and reliable OSS repositories. These repositoriesare easily accessible on the internet without cost. In this paper, we discuss an example of such arepository (SourceForge.net) and

The NationalScience Foundation has established a number of grants to award projects that promotecybersecurity education and curriculum development. Some of these projects have reportedsuccess of teaching hands-on skills through Gamification, a game-like learning environment.CTF (Capture-the-Flag) events are particularly successful in attracting college students, evenfrom non-IT/CS major and high school students into cybersecurity.
