current cybersecurity curriculum focuses on the topic of managing network anddata security, while the previous curriculum focuses on the topic of managing informationsecurity with vendors and partners.IntroductionCurrently, curriculum development efforts at many higher educational institutions are done witha small committee of faculty members or, more commonly, completed by the course instructor.Because of the small number of faculty participants, the curriculum development effort can yieldan out-of-date and insufficient curriculum for students entering the industry workforce [1], [3],[4]. This not only impacts the students’ ability to be competitive in the workforce, but alsonegatively impacts an already understaffed industry where there is a

This paper proposes a Deep Learning NeuralNetworks approach that helps students select their best-fit specialization in a specific category.Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, but it can determine whether a prediction isaccurate through its own neural network- no human help is required [1]. The proposed systemwill use a dataset that contains student data that is related to the general education coursesrequired for their program, such as grades, the number of hours spent on each course's materials,the opinion of the student about the content of each course, and the course(s) that the studentenjoyed the most.

This decline in female representation at thefaculty level is also observed broadly throughout science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields in general (Fig. 1B) [6], [7]. Furthermore, this lack of representationis not limited to academia; while 46% of STEM doctoral degrees are awarded to women, only32% of STEM positions in government and industry are occupied by women [7]. Therefore, evenin cases where women eagerly pursue a STEM education, they disproportionately choose not toutilize this education after graduation. This is not only detrimental to the women themselves, butalso to maximizing the potential of the national STEM workforce.Figure 1: Female Representation in Biomedical
