valuable addition tothe electrical engineering curriculum.We argue that the reasons behind the technical choices, their impact on the resource consumptionand the performance versus flexibility tradeoffs are relevant for cellular communicationsstandards education. Moreover, project management, team work, development of realisticexpectations and practical solutions are skills that are much demanded by industry in addition todomain-specific technical specialization. We therefore propose a methodology for teachingstandards that creates favorable conditions for developing those skills.The combination of lecture-centered education [2] with laboratory-centered approaches [3], [4],has been adopted in the engineering curriculum when the Conceive, Design

ConclusionThe course uses a variety of problem-solving strategies and encourages practice, exploration, andtinkering to increase students’ comfort not only with their technical skills but also with theirability to acquire new skills. Students can thus approach future coursework, research, andinternships with some introductory experience with version control, security, command line tools,web development, and user-centered design. The course is significantly composed of classworkactivities so that students are highly engaged and regularly expected to work with their peers.Furthermore, this course could be a gateway for students to engage in more computing experienceoutside of their college coursework: hackathons, online coding challenges, computing clubs

Program AssessmentOne of our programmatic concerns was to develop pedagogical practices that were best suited tothe needs of students we aimed to attract. In order to monitor the impact of our efforts, wedesigned surveys and conducted focus groups to gather students’ feedback about the courses andthe ACBSS program in general. In this section, we briefly report assessment results including(1) surveys completed by ENGR 120 students at the end the of Fall 2016 and 2017 semesters, (2)focus group results conducted by an external evaluator for ENGR 121 in Spring 2017, and (3)focus group results for ENGR 122 in Fall 2017.In addition to

have been incorporated into all facets of life, from the medicalindustry to transportation and it has even made its way into our homes. These devices have accessto vast amounts of data, especially personal data. However, due to the compact nature of thesedevices, insufficient effort has been made to incorporate security into their design. With that inmind, IoT devices are treasure-troves of potential evidentiary data for forensic investigators,especially when these devices are used to aid in criminal activities. Concerning IoT devices, thereis a need to investigate these devices to find answers to questions such as, what data can berecovered from these devices along with their respective smartphone applications?

The curriculum was structured whereall credit hours earned contribute to their graduation requirements. The introductory course is anelective course. The objective is not for students to be security experts, rather it is about knowingenough to understand cyber threat impacts to the system design process, understand how to protectagainst such threats, and be able to know when to call the cybersecurity experts.

The systemcould be used in any cybersecurity related undergraduate and graduate courses. It would helpstudents understand the latest cybersecurity technologies. Furthermore, it would provide on-campus and distance education students with opportunities to learn and practice cyberattack andcyber defense techniques used in the real world.In order to maximize the positive impact of the system on cybersecurity education, a two-dayworkshop was held at East Carolina University (ECU) in the summer of 2019.
