Education ModelThe goal of this project is twofold: (1) to increase the interest in cybersecurityworkforce and (2) to increase the number of teachers equipped to embed the topics intheir curriculum. 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. But, we have found several aspects

For the last five years, the Department of Chemical Engineering at TheUniversity of Akron has implemented a Vertically Integrated Team Design Project (VITDP)involving our entire undergraduate student population. VITDP is an engineering designcurricular and instructional pilot project for the National Science Foundation-funded DepartmentLevel Curriculum Reform (DLCR) at The University of Akron. Teams consisting of freshmanthrough seniors come together with an industrial or faculty mentor to solve an open-ended designproblem over a five-week period during the Fall semester. Teams are typically asked to decidewhether a proposed

common dilemma when considering the undergraduate curriculum is the proper balancebetween “teaching fundamental theory” versus “teaching applied software”. While theestablishment of a sound base of engineering fundamentals within our students is perhaps theprimary goal of the undergraduate curriculum, increasingly there is a legitimate incentive toexpose students to the proper use of different engineering software tools in preparation for theirprofessional careers. While efforts to include such computational techniques have included thedevelopment of an elective upper-level undergraduate course1, the practical difficulty ofimplementing these changes within and throughout the curriculum, and in particular thedifficulty of integrating software

This makes it difficult for students to apply theknowledge that they have learned effectively on capstone and other academic projects.Students often comment that it would have been “nice to know this” before making thewrong decisions on their capstone projects. Thus, to be successful, components of softwareengineering need to be taught earlier in the undergraduate curriculum. This shifting to anearlier level, however, poses pedagogical issues.This paper describes the metamorphosis of an undergraduate
