wewant to increase the diversity of the cybersecurity workforce because one good indicator ofcareer interests for adolescents is their choice of leisure and extra-curricular activity3.Tangentially, we also recognize that while computer-skills are critically important to acybersecurity professional, professionals in cybersecurity also are required to have a widebreadth of skills. This broader set of skills include critical thinking, teamwork, communication aswell as being well versed in privacy, ethics, and legal aspects of cybersecurity.To expand demographic participation in cybersecurity and the diversity of the cybersecurityworkforce, we believe that cybersecurity competitions at the formative ages should focus on abroader set of cybersecurity

fundamental materials course and sporadically during machinedesign. During Autumn 2017, the faculty set out to create a more cohesive materials ‘thread’through the curriculum in order to aid the students in associating the information learned in earlycourses to the latter ones. The specific capstone course outcome this course is laying thefoundation for is to “design systems, components, or processes with realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufacturing, andsustainability”. The B ENGR 320 labs were revised to incorporate a second 2-hour materialselection lab to provide students with a more open-ended materials selection module thatencourages the students to research broader attributes of

prematurely. Of course, it is important topoint out that fortunately students who express interest in engineering have a good understandingabout dependence of engineering on mathematics and science. They also realize that the field ofengineering in academia and professional environment tends to be more rigorous than someother professions and requires high level of ethics and responsibility.Description of methodAfter many years of teaching this course, it has been realized that the purpose of offering anintroductory course in engineering could be threefold: a. To attract good students, especially minorities and females, to the field of engineering. b. To provide useful information about engineering for those who have undeclared majors and are

individuals as they practice implementing the engineering designprocess, students gain exposure to working in a more diverse context closer to that which theymight encounter post-graduation, rather than working with a solely technically-minded team4.Among its 2016-2017 Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, ABET includes “an abilityto communicate effectively,” “an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams,” and an“understanding of professional and ethical responsibility” as key Student Outcomes, those skillswhich engineering students are expected to have learned upon graduation5. According to a studyconducted by Riley, Furth, and Zelmer regarding the factors determining engineering alumni’sprofessional success, engineering graduates
