-level Instructional Course Modules Designed to Inspire Computer Science InterestAbstractRecent research regarding university student perceptions of “Computer Science” as a field ofstudy and their motivation to pursue such studies as a career opportunity reveal studentmisconceptions and lack of motivation. Many students report that they regard the study ofcomputer science as narrowly equivalent to “programming”. Moreover, many are notconsistently provided the opportunity to realize the true impact of the field within their entry-level courses since these early courses tend to focus on programming and syntax skilldevelopment. It is not until they are in their upper-level courses that they gain a broaderunderstanding and by

Paper ID #17059The Impact of STEM Experiences on Student Self-Efficacy in ComputationalThinkingJoshua Levi Weese, Kansas State University Josh Weese is a PhD candidate in the department of Computer Science at Kansas State University. Fo- cusing on education research, this experience comes from work as a graduate teaching assistant, various outreach programs, and time spent as a NSF GK-12 fellow. His downtime is spent in outreach programs aimed toward enriching local K-12 students’ experience in STEM, especially in computer science and sensor technologies.Russell Feldhausen, Kansas State UniversityMr. Nathan H.

. As illustrated in Figure 1, the focus ofthis problem-based activity is to promote students’ learning in the core concepts related toHyper-Text Transfer Protocol Secure, or HTTP over SSL. The learning objectives for thisparticular activity are: (a) review firewall, network design and web server configurationprocesses; (b) identify differences between HTTPS and HTTP; (c) migrate a website from HTTPto HTTPS; (d) acquire, activate and install certificates; (e) identify potential vulnerabilitiesrelated to data security; (f) define best practices related to HTTPS implementation; and (g)delineate optimal encryption method.
