Secure cyberspace has been designated as one ofthe National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges in engineering. Broadly, thesecurity threats are targeted on software programs, operating system and network with theintention to launch confidentiality, integrity and availability violations.

Design projects offer opportunities to approximate professional practice, with its concerns for social implications; integrate and synthesize knowledge; and develop skills of persistence, creativity, and teamwork.” Our work is motivated by the study. Instead of treating the labs as the adjuncts that followthe learning of the theories and presenting them in a limited “component context,” we use

A narrative arc is defined here as a student’sability to form a cohesive net of concepts, reasonings, and relationships that can be explainedwithout using formulae as a crutch. While being able to apply and understand mathematicalformulae is an invaluable tool for students, too often courses rely solely on the evaluation of themathematical formulae related to concepts instead of emphasizing the conceptual definitions andrelationships. This imbalance results in students being weak in the areas of explaining why andhow things happen using words and unable to formulate

Breaking Stovepipes and Interweaving Anchoring Concepts Through Knowledge IntegrationPedagogically, students’ lack of perceived utility and low self-efficacy can be attributed to thelack of threads throughout the curriculum that weave foundational concepts and the creativityand professional aspects of engineering throughout the curriculum. This is particularly true forthe sophomores and juniors that are asked to comprehend complex subjects such as electronics,signals and systems, and electromagnetics, in isolation. Knowledge integration (KI) acrossdifferent core competency areas will become an essential piece in the curriculum to weavetogether anchoring concepts from different subject contents to make learning

The United States saw only 10% of the global science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) bachelor’s degrees in 2018 [1]. About half ofstudents who enter a STEM program do not graduate with a STEM degree; most of thesestudents drop out during their first or second year of college due to the increasing difficulty andcomplexity of STEM programs [2], [3], [4].

From cars to microwaves,they have become an integral part of everyday life. It’s no surprise then that the area ofembedded system design has grown tremendously in the past few years [1].
