Mai Abdelhakim and Samuel Dickerson Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Pittsburgh { maia, dickerson }@pitt.eduAbstractAlong with the ever-increasing adoption of connected systems in the age of the Internet of Things(IoT), there is a pressing need for preparing engineers and other technology professionals toaddress the growing cybersecurity challenges. Nowadays, cybersecurity education is needed notonly for cybersecurity specialists but also for anyone who works with technology, especially incritical infrastructure (such as energy systems or healthcare). However, there is an evident gap incybersecurity skills due to the

This challengeis particularly significant for students from low-income and underrepresented minoritybackgrounds who often begin their higher education journey in community college programswith limited funding and access to engineering hardware.
