As such, a model shown in Figure 1 is structured to address fourcritical areas that will help us reach those goals: 1) effective academic and socialintegration [5][6], 2) appropriate financial support, 3) narrow perception of the field ofcybersecurity and available career paths, and 4) role models/mentors. The proposedmodel (Figure 1) is partly based on Tinto’s model of student integration [5] whichfocuses more on experiences the students encounter after coming to college, rather thanthose occurring prior to college.

The study used teaching science and engineeringin an integrated manner to subsequently explore students’ learning outcomes and engagement(behavioral, emotional, cognitive and social).
