futurework.BackgroundRepresenting the curriculum visually helps to communicate the structure, content, and sequenceof the material. 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

Integration (CMMI) is the culmination of an effort to define thestages that software organizations pass through as they gain better and better control overtheir processes. The effort was kicked off by the US Department of Defense and undertakenby the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. The originalproduct that most software developers are familiar with is CMM and it was designed tomeasure the process maturity of a software development organization.In the 1990’s, a veritable galaxy of quality frameworks emerged and CMM was divided intoversions for software development (SW-CMM) and versions for software engineering(SECM) and product development (IPD-CMM). Later in the decade, SEI began an effort tointegrate all of the

summary, this multi-staged project forced students to rethink their designs many timesconsidering the security level of the system. It showed them the importance of building a securesystem at the design stage. IoT and computer security cannot be an afterthought, it must be thefoundation of design.Additional stages can be designed and integrated to the current project depending on the coursethe knowledge level of students in the class.Results and DiscussionTo use this Raspberry Pi kit in classes, instructors need to be aware of students’ knowledge levelon Python programming and using GPIOs in Raspberry Pi. It is noticed that CS students lack somehardware skills in general, while engineering students lack some Python programming knowledge.It is

; connected communities, and securing cyber-physical systems [4,5], we are not aware that currently exist an educational model that integrates cyber security as partof STEM curriculum. The program’s goal is to broaden knowledge of our STEM graduates to beaware of cyber issues as engineers. The curriculum is shown in Figure 1, where 4 tracks areavailable for the student’s interest and major of study. The courses within each track are existingcourses with security content added to them. Figure 1: Cyber-informed engineering curriculum for STEM majors. Each track gives the students an opportunity to earn a security certificate as part of their undergraduate degree. The color of boxes has no special meaning.The introductory

are a number offactors that hinder acceptance of remote laboratories as a part of a curriculum. These are:Integration of a number of disciplines into remote experimentation design; Modularity indesigns; Readily available commercial products; Integration of learning management system;Maintenance and training; Administrative awareness and support; and Industry applications.The first part of the paper will discuss these issues and will highlight how we can moveforward in a coordinated manner so there will be a viable remote experimentationinfrastructure with a high degree of acceptance.Historically remote laboratories are developed by utilizing personal computers orworkstations as the main controller unit on the experiment side and a local

this course are offered with total enrollment varyingbetween 115 to 255, this number is expected to rise. This course has CS1 as a prerequisite so weexpect students to have some programming experience. We chose to use python in this course, asit is easy-to-use across many topics. It is a bonus that this allows us to introduce a language that isotherwise not a standard part of our lower-division curriculum.Our experience working with undergraduate research students helped inform our decisions abouttechnologies and approaches for this course. Mentoring undergraduate research students as theylearned python, git, and SQL helped reinforce the need for these topics in our curriculum andprovided an opportunity to try various tutorials, IDEs, and

Cloud computing is an approach for deliveringapplications and services, on demand, over a private or public network, by leveraging efficientresource pooling of virtual infrastructure. Using virtualization and cloud computing technologiesin education could help lessen hardware costs, increase the availability of resources, andaccelerate deployment of new curriculum material [4] - [8]. Some studies indicated that studentsconducting virtual labs performed as well as students using physical labs in a traditionalenvironment [9], [10].In a decentralized, individual approach, the virtual environment is hosted on students’ personalcomputers.

Officer (CISO)) since field certification may bethe only validation of such skills. Therefore, this work-in-process seeks to investigate the use ofa framework to examine the degree to industry employment skill variance, if any, betweenindustry and academic preparation and the perceived required skills that each group expects thegraduate to have mastered.Previous research used a systematic approach, such as DACUM, to integrate the perceptions ofpractitioners in the field with that of the academicians to establish the desired curriculum. Thisprocess is especially useful when the degree is designed to meet emerging new occupations orjob titles, such as the Chief Information Security Officer [2][3]. However, little research can befound that uses the
