linkage of research and teaching in academicwork makes university education distinctive (it was beneficial for the two departments theauthors are affiliated with). Moreover, it certainly helped generating additional researchoutput/knowledge creation and strengthened pathways to postgraduate research (we are currentlyworking on two IEEE Transactions journal papers as a result of such creation). Finally, webelieve our deeply-embedded security research and teaching integration helps develop student asknowledge worker, and engages them in concept of the provisionality of existing knowledge.Deeply-embedded systems methodology, hard skill, and soft skill teaching goals were evaluatedfor graduate students working in the related research area (through

radar system building on work done at MIT, a customprogramming language designed to be used with embedded systems, and an improved routingalgorithm for mesh networks.Lecture content continues to focus on project development. Additionally, “soft skill” topics arepresented, such as resume writing and interviewing, to prepare students for a transition into theworkforce (DigiPen Institute of Technology also offers an elective course, COL 499, which dealsexclusively with such topics). Some lectures may also be geared to topics of particular relevanceto the students’ projects. Due to the open-ended nature of the allowed project specifications, it isalmost inevitable that students will be working with components or techniques that were notcovered in
