As cyber threats evolve in sophistication,the gap between technical security measures and the general public's understanding of thesethreats widens, leaving individuals and communities vulnerable to digital exploitation.Security literacy is the missing piece—a holistic understanding of practical computer security.It's not just about memorizing rules; it's about empowering individuals to make informeddecisions. Here's why it matters: 1. Context Matters: Security literacy places knowledge within context. Instead of isolated bullet points, it provides the "why" behind security practices.

Overall, senior projects are a valuable component of undergraduate education that helps students bridge the gap between theory and practice and prepare for their future careers. A senior project is an opportunity for students in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained throughout their academic career to solve real-world problems. The objectives of a senior project are to provide students with a platform to demonstrate their creativity, critical thinking, and problem- solving abilities while enhancing their technical knowledge and practical skills

high priority for ourfuture engineers, today’s engineering students should be well trained to come up with ideasculturally and tackle problems in creative ways. In this regard, the critical challenge lies in howto effectively infuse CPS into the engineering curriculum without compromising the existingstandards and how to overcome barriers that impede the integration of CPS in engineeringeducation.Typically, CPS model involves five stages, namely 1) facts-finding, 2) problem-finding, 3) idea-finding, 4) solution-finding and 5) acceptance-finding13,14. At the stage of “Facts/ProblemFinding”, students will identify problem or challenge and start to collect information and developa clear understand of it. The “Idea Finding” phase is to generate

ECE 65 has 3-hour weekly lab sessions inaddition to the standard 150-minute lectures per week. In the lab, students simulate, build, andtest the circuits they study in the lecture. The course is offered every quarter and during thesummer. This study was implemented in the Fall 2021 offering of the course, with 61 of theenrolled students participating in it. As part of the course, two Take-home (TH) tests with design questions were introducedto expand on and enhance the understanding of the topics covered in the course. These examswere conducted after an early in-person written midterm and before the in-person written
