, of course, not the only ways of providing cybersecurity education. Studieshave previously assessed the efficacy of using techniques such as peer mentoring [25], peerinstruction [26], games [27] and competitions [28] to teach cybersecurity knowledge and skills.3. Program Description & Changes from Year OneThe NDSU REU program has a number of components. Students first select a topic. Duringyear one, students were asked to brainstorm topics, in conjunction with their research mentor.For year 2, faculty were asked to identify areas of research interest. Students were then pairedwith faculty mentors based on the topics that they indicated interest in. The student and thefaculty mentor were then asked to further refine the topic, working

of stipend provided,comparing research topics at the different institutions and by the dates that they receive theiroffers on.All REU sites provide students with hands-on research opportunities with faculty mentorship [1].Most sites offer a variety of research training programs and technical seminars (e.g., [2]) andtraining in technical writing (e.g., [5]). Sites are also required to offer training in research ethics[1]. Many sites also provide training about how to select and apply to graduate school (e.g., [5]),for students who choose to pursue further education. However, even with all of these programs(some of which may be offered outside of normal work hours), the bulk of student time at REUsites is spent on research activities.2.2

for them. Even if they don’t get feedback from employers, there are peer advisors, faculty, staff, and alumni who are happy to work with them to provide input and support throughout their search.Theme 2: Finding the Right OptionsMany students reported that they chose Mechanical Engineering because of the breadth ofopportunities that it presented, then struggled to identify the opportunities that would be mostrelevant or most interesting to them. That issue was compounded by both the hidden job market(i.e.: small companies often don’t post and promote positions in the same way large companiesdo) and the lack of specificity in job postings, with second and third-year engineering studentsoften not having the base of knowledge yet to
