trending areas that could be ofconcern.Cybersecurity is an inter-disciplinary field that encompass a large number of subject areas that must be taught and learnt.Overtime, the number of topics that must be taught to students has grown, while the number of hours in the curriculum remainedthe same. This dynamic means educators must choose what topic areas they must focus on based on its importance and relevancein the always changing security landscape. Being able to see the topic areas that are important during a specific time period canhelp educators focus on these topics in their courses, helping them focus on the areas that are currently trending and important inthe security field. The methods used in the word and hashtags analysis can be used to

second stage data analysis5. DiscussionThrough analyzing data related to engineering students’ college experiences on Twitter, wefound a large number of tweets complaining about homework, classes, professors, exams, andstudying. Negative tweets are overwhelmingly more numerous than positive tweets. Thisindicates an imbalance between academic life and social life among engineering students. A poordesign of curriculum is also revealed. For example, many students complain that sociology andhistory classes are useless to engineering majors, and chemistry class is useless to computerengineering majors. These classes need to be better designed and tuned to the needs ofengineering students.As stated in a previous APS study11, if engineering education

well-equipped to address. It is one of the fundamentalprinciples that guided both the computational methods and DS&C versions of EduTorcs. Ratherthan overtly provide information to students through textbook and lecture, we aspired to create amediated environment in which students could experiment and make discoveries.Nonetheless, Gee acknowledges that one must strike proper balance between overt informationand immersion in actual contexts of practice. One cannot, he explains, give novices a set oframps and balls, and then expect them to arrive at Galileo’s principles of motion on their own.This experience of integrating a video game into a DS&C class has illuminated some of thedifficulty in getting the balance right. In particular, an
