the need for developing skills inCybersecurity. Though many Universities offer a master’s degree in Cybersecurity, it isimpractical to fill this huge demand for Cybersecurity through only graduate degree holders.After careful analysis, it has become evident that there is a gap in the curriculum as it relates totraining for Cybersecurity concepts in foundational computing courses for students. To be morespecific, there is relatively less focus on the infusion of Cybersecurity concepts in undergraduatecomputing courses and its impact on classroom practices. This paper serves to address this gapby providing an experience in infusing, teaching, and assessing Cybersecurity modules in variousundergraduate computing courses that immerse students in

The subject is frequently taught in three different courses; namely, CS 0, CS 1, and CS 2.The topics covered in CS 0 are often related to various fundamental concepts in computing andcomputer algorithms. Many computer science programs place a particular emphasis on computeralgorithm in CS 0 to familiarize students with programming logic. In CS 1, students learn towrite computer

Ideally, this process ensures that competencies are sequenced correctly, thatstudents have the freedom to create their own specializations, and that the amount of challenge isspread across the curriculum so that students aren’t overwhelmed in one semester andunder-challenged the next semester. These representations are often based on the curriculumdesigner’s best estimates or based on an existing curriculum. These heuristics do not alwayscorrespond to students’ actual pathways through the curriculum.By plotting students’ temporal pathways through the curriculum, it is possible to see where in thecurriculum students are struggling most, to

and cybersecurity have gained the attention of various stakeholders, industryrepresentatives, educators, parents and students who are thinking about their future careers.Teaching computer science courses has moved into K-12 education, no longer introduced in thecollege classroom. There are various reasons for this trend. One is that in this way more childrenhave access to the curriculum that integrates computer science principles, not just thoseundergraduate students in specific STEM majors. Other industries need different levels ofcomputer science and cybersecurity education. There are various programs across the nation thatare focusing on introducing these topics as early as elementary school through various outreachprograms or even in the

Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two

This is done mainly by action assertionstraditionally implemented in procedural logic buried deeply within user’s application program ina form that is virtually unrecognizable, unmanageable, and inconsistent.

To fill this gap, we evaluate theeffectiveness of assigning guided reflection prompts with programming assignments in anundergraduate Data Structures course in encouraging students to articulate their problem-solvingstrategies. 219 students completed two programming assignments and were asked to respond toreflection prompts after each.
