As evidenced by the ideas presented in this paper, a great deal of progress can be madeby bringing individuals together in closely related fields to innovate methods of defense thatprotect our critical and other infrastructure. If we do not, we put ourselves at risk as our worldbecomes more interconnected. Industries that once had little concern for attack in cyberspace mustnow become much more aware of the threats and devise defense strategies that best protect theirassets.In engineering and technology, cyber-security occupies only a small portion of the educationalsurface area that is considered in today’s curriculum.

Most of thestudents who enter the discipline do it because they are interested and get fascinated by flyingobjects. Yet, at some of the major universities across the country, the dropout rate in theundergraduate aerospace engineering classes is higher than other disciplines [19]. Besides thediscipline being hard to understand and study, another reason that high dropout rate can beattributed to is the lack of student centered active learning techniques used in the aerospaceengineering classes.
