. Introduction to Legal and Ethical Issues in Cybersecurity,5. Special Topics in Cybersecurity,6. Senior (Capstone) project in CybersecurityWe offered two cybersecurity courses for all non-Computer Science (CS) majors at the university during2020-21 academic year with very low enrollment. At this moment, we have only three students pursuingthis Cybersecurity for All minor. We are working with various department chairs and college deans andwe expect this enrollment to grow. Also, we offered all courses for our cybersecurity concentration forCS majors, and currently approximately 30 students pursuing the Cybersecurity concentration. Also, wehave graduated 15 students from this concentration.Goal 3: Conduct Cybersecurity professional development activities

to address important ethical considerations that are not frequently addressed intraditional engineering curricula (including within traditional engineering ethics curricula), andwhich center issues of particular importance to our nation’s increasingly diverse body ofengineering students.As a growing number of departments begin to undertake these attempts at curricular reform,there will be (and in fact already is) significant backlash from pedagogical traditionalists, whomay perceive these efforts as “watering down” the technical rigor of a traditional engineeringeducation with elements (e.g., “storytelling”) typically reserved for the humanities or socialsciences.

The data collected from Spring 2019 to Spring 2021 were coded toidentify ethical, social, or environmental aspects, and the results are presented in Figure 3.Ethical items have some prevalence of reporting, but environmental and social aspects rarelyappear within the self identification of professional characteristics. The course where thisquestion was administered in, does not specifically cover content that addresses social justiceissues, or more broad social impacts or environmental impacts. A higher prevalence of social andenvironmental professional responsibility would be expected within a course

But tapping this potential hasthus far been an intractable problem, despite ongoing calls for data sharing by public funders ofresearch. Changing the paradigm of single-use data collection requires actionable, provenpractices for effective, ethical data sharing, coupled with sufficient incentives to both share anduse existing data. To that end, this project draws together a team of experts to overcomesubstantial obstacles in qualitative data sharing by building a framework to guide secondaryanalysis in engineering education research (EER), and to test this framework using pioneeringdata sets.

solutionshave been previously addressed in the literature [24] and implementing some of theseinterventions may improve the project experience in core engineering courses such as these.Specifically, groups who develop team contracts agreeing on responsibilities and expectations ofteam members, independent of the project’s technical content, tend to work more efficiently as ateam and have a better experience (i.e. satisfaction).These comments about the course project can also be viewed within the context of Perry’s theoryof intellectual and ethical development [25]. Perry purports that intellectual development starts atdualism, where problems are clearly defined with right and wrong answers. These types ofproblems can typically be found in freshmen and

have been created andstudied, but the next step is understanding how and where these interventions are implemented.For example, Bielefeldt et al. (2018) highlight the fact that courses on engineering ethics areoften not widely offered. Instead, the content is usually embedded within other courses, if at all.While ABET accreditation requires that students develop “an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which mustconsider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societalcontexts,” additional oversight of teaching these skills is not standard (ABET 2021). ABET doeshave another student outcome that touches on inclusion, which
