One student even felt that suchprojects were expected within computer science: I think CS that feeling in general, I guess opposed to other fields, is you are more, I guess you are more expected to do work outside of class and like just learn like on the side as well as just doing I guess the core curriculum. Stuff like side projects and all that stuff is expected, whereas other maybe fields aren’t...In our study, males were more likely to indicate they had multiple opportunities to tinker andwere more likely to seek these experiences out than female participants.A second theme that emerged in the data was the idea of “self-learning.” Several participantsemphasized that “self-learning” was a skill

The long-term objective forthe project is to develop a curriculum framework for undergraduate and graduate programs inInformation Assurance (IA). The framework includes: identification of broad areas of knowledgeconsidered important for practicing professionals in information assurance, identification of keylearning objectives for each of these areas, identification of a body of core knowledge and skillsthat all programs should contain, and a model curriculum including scope and sequence.

In fact, looking at the placement of CS programs inacademic institutions around the U.S. illustrates the debate that swirled around the discipline asits core was being defined. Some CS programs are in departments of mathematics, others are inengineering schools, and many others have become

needed to learn microcontrollers (such as calculus or dynamics). Assuming thatmicrocontroller programming (programming in C) will be taught as part of the microcontrollercurriculum, only basic computer skills are needed from the students. Most incoming studentshave the knowledge to get started in microcontrollers.Another advantage is that the students learn the skills without adding classes to the curriculum.At CMA, as in most engineering programs, the student course load is at a maximum and to addmaterial requires removing other material. There simply isn’t room in the curriculum for anotherclass, so either electives must be traded or the microcontroller skills must be taught in existingclasses

Across the curriculum integration, also known as horizontal integration, includessustainability principles in traditional engineering courses throughout the engineer’s studies atthe university. This approach has been shown to lead to greater depth and understanding of thedesired learning outcomes [5]. And thus, integrating sustainability concepts throughout thecurriculum gives the students a broad understanding of the field and prepares students to applysustainability principles in their engineering decisions.It is interesting to note the amount to which courses with sustainability integration and/orfocused on sustainability contain sustainability principles.
