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.

In addition to engaging students inresearch projects, the likelihood of women and minorities to continue in a scientific discipline isfurther increased if the problems have a valuable connection to society [23, 24].

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
