past 30 years [1], [2], [4].Prior studies showed that there are many factors involved in students’ academic retention andpersistence such as family background, vision for a career, demographic characteristics,institutional type, curriculum [5], [6] , classroom related factors, grade performance [7],friendship support, academic engagement, attitudes, and satisfaction, as well as many more [8],[9]. Early studies [10] examined the effect of students' characteristics and their interactions ontheir persistence. Other researchers [5] studied other factors like career goals and commitments.These studies are framed using many theoretical frameworks. One such framework is socialcognitive career theory (SCCT) [9], [11]. SCCT was developed to explain how

intently to business leadersand understand the trajectory of change they are bearing witness to [12].” If business andeducation can work together, “schools will have greater placement opportunities for graduates,and students will have far more employment and career options [12].”The CTC’s BILT – which includes IT experts from national companies based in regions acrossthe US – convenes quarterly to discuss emerging industry trends and provide program guidanceto faculty attendees. The CTC has found that only through frequent regular meetings can astrong relationship develop between business and educators. Each spring, the CTC’s BILT usesa unique voting system to rank and update a list of IT knowledge areas that entry-level ITworkers need to know in

Activities have included guest speakers, field trips to localindustries and Hill Air Force Base (regional employer), workshops, and multidisciplinaryprojects. The workshops have included MATLAB (a multi-paradigm numerical computingenvironment; led by the MathWorks Company), Introduction to Arduino (microcontroller-basedkits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control physicaldevices), Interfacing Arduino with MATLAB, Soldering Basics, and Career Development (bythe Career Development Center).

EducationAlmost every career path open to a bachelor’s degree student encompasses some aspect of security.System administrators must be able to properly configure and maintain a system; programmers mustknow how to build secure software from the bottom up; web development personnel must understandthe risks involved and how to best reduce the potential impact of these risks; and project

faculty perceived their experience, and how they performed comparedto other common course sections/topics. The last two sections include discussions of thechallenges we faced as well as the conclusion and future directions.Literature ReviewWhile highly technical courses in cybersecurity are essential for students training for a career inthe field, there exists a broader need for non-majors to understand the basics of cyber dangers andprotections from them. Although all of our students regularly use the internet and may besomewhat aware of dangers and security risks, most do not know how to protect themselves andact responsibly in many online situations [13].There are arguments that courses in computer science should be considered a core science

recommendations on how SEP-CyLE should be implemented in classrooms.The main contributions of this work are as follows: 1. The cyberlearning environment or tool that was developed with funding from the NSF was considered to be useful and user friendly by students who used the tool. 2. Gamification was considered by students to be motivating. 3. Students suggested that the tool should be used as an integral part of the course rather than as an add-on.1 IntroductionEmployment outlook for students with computer science degrees is very good. The United StatesDepartment of Labor Statistics has predicted a 24% rise in employment for software developersin just ten years from 2016 to 2026 [1].

and its design details is missing in the literature. 3. THE PROPOSED APPROACHIn the past, observing the shortcomings of the “top-down” approach missing technical designdetails, we taught the RTOS in a “from scratch” way by showing the internal design andimplementation of RTOS. The “from scratch” design is denoted as EOS. We wished to equipstudents with the ability of learning any new RTOS in their future career after understandingEOS. However, we still felt that the “from scratch” may be further improved by also showing acommercial RTOS. Our hypothesis was that the “from scratch” approach may miss thedeployable convenience of a commercial RTOS, and the “top-down” approach misses technicaldetails that the “from scratch” may

The lab experience was designedfollowing a real-world lab that UVU is creating for students to use once they have tested andgrown their abilities in VR. Upon completion of the VR lab, students were asked to test thevirtual reality experience. Before and after testing the VR etching lab students were givensurveys about their prior experience with VR as well as their thoughts on the VR etching lab.The results from which researchers will utilize to improve said lab and make any adjustmentsnecessary to increase its potential in helping students prepare for careers in the

The concepts included in the course are intended toprepare students for careers that involve applying Data Mining skills.We do not have adequate evidence and feedback from the students who have taken the course toverify that the provided strategies are the best overall approach. Future study may include astatistical analysis of how effective our proposed curriculum is in accomplishing our goals ofpreparing students with Data Mining skills, catering to undergraduate level students, andpresenting concepts relevant to Data Mining.
