ofthe most lucrative fields. University education in computer science, computer engineering, andinformation technology is providing students with abundant future job opportunities. Althoughthe lack of a formal computing degree cannot stop young people from securing a lucrative job intechnology, an academic computing degree can be a big advantage for a candidate. Industrystatistics suggest companies and startups are more likely to recruit someone skilled with abachelor’s degree [1], [2]. In spite of the increasing demand for computing jobs, computerscience dropouts are still the highest among STEM disciplines [3]. In addition, despite theemphasis on diversity [3] in technology, the gender gap in computing education and jobs hasworsened over the

process, and explore mentionsof attempts to increase diversity, or actions taken to make the process more inclusive.Therefore, we suggest an examination of current literature using a systematic literature review(SLR) of the hiring process in computing. Computing itself can be a fairly broad term, anddepending on the country of interest for examination, the fields under this umbrella may haveother names entirely. For the purposes of this work, we considered computing according to globaldescriptors: software engineering (SE), computer science (CS), information technology (IT),information systems (IS), computer engineering (CE), or information and communicationtechnology (ICT). These more general labels in the field encompass a panoply of positions
, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) graduates are not fully comprehending the security impact of device connectivity. STEMstudents are graduating without awareness of cybersecurity or cyber-physical systems securityissues/challenges and without being aware of the security issues related to algorithms or systemsthey are designing. This state of affairs is a consequence of the fact that security awareness iscurrently not part of the curriculum.In this paper we highlight a cybersecurity program at Boise State University that includes anintroductory class on CPS security. Some topics included in this course are: informationtechnology versus operation technology, cryptography, industrial control systems, smart grid,CAN bus, risk assessment, red versus blue
