. This exposed our students tocollaborators among different fields, with their own terminology, goals, work methods andpractical approaches. Our paper reports on the initial experiment during the Fall 2019 term,involving two sections of an Artificial Intelligence class and one section of a Deep Learningclass. We are planning to continue this collaboration in the future.Keywords: Collaborative Learning, Interdisciplinary, Inter-Class teamwork 1. IntroductionStudents at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) are exposed topractical, hands-on educational activities throughout their course of studies, reflected by theuniversity’s “Learn by Doing” motto.

AnIndustry Crisis", stating 3.5 M jobs world-wide will not be filled by 2021 [10]. A recentworkforce study published in 2019 by (ICS)2, [11] the world’s largest non-profit association thatcertifies cybersecurity professionals, reported that in order to meet the needs of cybersecurityworkforce globally, skilled cybersecurity professionals needs to grow by 145% to meet thedemand. The report further stated that in order to meet the crucial needs of American businesses,the US cybersecurity workforce needs to grow by 62%!The module was embedded in a junior level computer science class required to be taken by allcomputer science and electrical engineering students. The course introduces Unix commands andtools for software development and testing. Students

trips. If networkintrusion attacks succeed to compromise IoV systems, intruders will control the autonomous vehiclescommunicating with the infrastructure, and this may lead to serious fatal consequences. Therefore,using an IDS to protect the IoV system is very crucial. In this project, students will use traditional IDSto protect the IoV system.REFERENCES[1] Cisco, "Cisco Visual Networking Index: Forecast and Trends, 2017–2022 White Paper," 2019.[2] IBM, "The demand for cybersecurity professionals is outstripping the supply of skilled workers," 2019.[3] T.

, Physics, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra. Programming andDiscrete Mathematics classes offered by the Department of Computer Science were the mostused classes within the School. Access to classes within the School was allowed usually at alater date than the start of registration so as to allow declared majors to make good progresstowards graduation. Issues that arose included classed closing while demand from continuingmajors was still not taken care of; for example, students that failed a class in the major and didnot plan ahead.In the 2019 catalog the policy became stricter with concerns over low graduation ratesbecoming an important factor. • Applicant has completed 24 or more semester credit hours at the university and

students live at home or in off-campus housing, which often makes itdifficult for them to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Many students donot have time to spend much time outside of class on campus, leading some to feel littleconnection with other students. About 80% of UVU’s students will remain in their communitiesand pursue employment in this region [2].One of the hallmarks of the institution in the past three decades has been its rapid growth andtransformation in response to the tremendous demographic and economic changes in the serviceregion.

module emphasizing encryption and decryption used as the semesterproject for the course. Each module is a collection of concepts related to cyber security. Theindividual cyber security concepts are presented with a general description of a security issue toavoid, sample code with the security issue written in the Java programming language, and asecond version of the code with an effective solution. The set of these modules was implementedin Computer Science I during the Fall 2019 semester. Incorporating each of the concepts in thesemodules into lectures depends on both the topic covered and the approach to resolving therelated security issue.Students were introduced to computing concepts related to both the security issue and theappropriate

, this is the first study thatscales exercise set difficulty from the lower levels to the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomywithin AGTs. We study the effects on student learning efficiency, code quality of solutions, andstudent perceptions of their learning experience.MethodsWe ran a field experiment in a CS1 introductory course for non-majors at a large public universityin the Spring of 2019 with 264 enrolled students. This course is primarily taken by undergraduateengineering students, and it is required for their degrees. The course covers typical CS1 topicssuch as variables, plotting data, conditionals, loops, functions, string manipulation, arrays, fileI/O, etc. and the programming language is MATLAB. Students’ learning is assessed via
