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course instructor.Because of the small number of faculty participants, the curriculum development effort can yieldan out-of-date and insufficient curriculum for students entering the industry workforce [1], [3],[4].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

In contrast, our paperemphasizes the adoption of systematic learning strategies with detailed examples tailored forengineering education. While Habib et al focus on students exploring specific topics andvalidating their ideas against AI-generated content, our proposed approach focuses on howstudents can leverage the vast knowledge database of AI to discover innovative technologicalconcepts and pursue the development of novel technologies.The paper proposes the following methods that can be

Science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and a diversified workforce are the essentialbuilding blocks to accomplishing the U.S. Department of Energy's mission. Further, theConsumer Energy Alliance has indicated, STEM education is a must for the next generation ofenergy workers as a STEM bachelor's degree nearly doubles the likelihood of working in theenergy industry. Currently, the energy industry is facing three key workforce challenges: (i)technical and soft skills gap, (ii) lack of awareness of job opportunities, and (iii)underrepresentation of minorities and women.

Through this project a set of researchproblems in the realm of Industry 4.0 are presented to the students. Research problems areselected broadly from the domain of Industry 4.0 which includes current and emergingtechnologies. Students are also given the opportunity to select the topics, however, they need toreceive the instructor’s approval. During the project, students conduct literature reviews on theselected topics.
