not limited to, embedded technology, autonomoustechnology, edge and end-point technologies. Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering

ChatGPT Feedback: For some of the checkpoints, we provided students with the pre-designed prompts. They were encouraged to use these prompts, to seek feedback from ChatGPT on their projects. These prompts were tailored to the specific requirements of each checkpoint, which enabled ChatGPT to offer both comprehensive and detailed feedback.Fig. 1 presents the detailed steps involved in the process of retaining valuable knowledgeobtained from various sources throughout the course duration to build a more specializedgenerative feedback

We employed thematicanalysis to assess their responses and suggestions on ways forward. Within courses, three themesemerged, as educators described opportunities for “fostering professional skills” (e.g.,communication and teamwork) and “fostering technical skills” (e.g., use of tools, programmingproblem decomposition, and testing).

have been developed in computing education to measure and assess self-efficacy [9, 10, 11]. Recently, Steinhorst et al. proposed a more generalized instrument for assessingself-efficacy that is paradigms and language agnostic [12]. Multiple studies have investigated therole of self-efficacy in the context of introductory programming courses [13, 14, 15, 16]. Whilethere have been a number of studies, it should be noted that the landscape of CS1 has been evolv-ing with growing enrollments and a wide variety of programming languages used in the courses.Also, more students can now take CS0/1 in high school compared to some time back [17]. Thus,studying the effect of motivational constructs may differ based on students’ past experiences

reported in 2020 [4]. Despite increased tracking and abatementof software vulnerabilities, Gueye and Mell [5] report that the most prevalent software errors havenot changed much since vulnerabilities were first cataloged. Indeed, MITRE [6] lists the top threesoftware vulnerabilities as: 1. Improper Neutralization of Input on Webpage Generation (cross-site scripting) 2. Out-of-bounds write (buffer overflow) 3. Improper input validationThe prevalence of software vulnerabilities can be reduced when developers use principles ofsecure programming. It is vital that future developers are taught principles of cybersecurity andsecure programming, and that students understand the consequences of buffer overflow attacks.Review of Stack Buffer

This will enable Desktop 0 to communicate withDesktop 1. The first part of the task involves monitoring traffic over the router and ISP linksusing Wireshark to observe the data transmitted between two desktops.The next step is to enhance security by configuring an IPSec tunnel over the existing GREtunnel. This will encrypt the data being transferred. Students must then repeat the monitoringprocess to observe that the

The ultrasonic sensorsthat detect water levels were deployed in the irrigation canal close to the water pump as shown inFigure 1.Figure 1, LoRaWAN enabled ultrasound sensor deployed for water level monitoring.The sensor used in this
