This reviewal process requires exploring use-cases for the programming mechanisms presented as solutions to the security issues discussed. Inaddition to the security modules presented in lectures, students were given a hands-on approachto understanding the concepts through Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs).

Introduction to ODEs Differential equations are used to model a wide range of physical processes; technology students will use them in chemistry, biophysics, mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, and almost every other scientific and engineering discipline. An ODE is used to express the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. One defining characteristic of an ODE is that its derivatives are a function of one independent variable. The order of a differential

In the absence of security design andimplementation techniques that systematically exclude security flaws, it is useful to have a set ofsecure design principles that can guide developing secure systems [3]. Secure design principles are essential security principles that are taught in computer securitycourses. Most computer security books cover these principles, and they provide scenariosexplaining how these principles are applied. The secure design principles as discussed in [3] and[4] are listed along with definitions as follows: • Economy of mechanism: The design of security measures embodied in both

The course was divided into multiple sections of 49students, who met at different times during the week with the instructor. This helped lower thestudent-to-teacher ratio and facilitated the individualized support mechanism where the instructorand teaching assistants were available to students when they actually worked on the program-ming problems. While research supports the notion that active learning is more effective in STEMcourses [17], it is still unknown what influential factors could enhance or detract a student’s learn-ing experience and performance [11].
