technology, and create engaging andmeaningful classroom projects exemplifying real-world CS endeavors in which all students canparticipate.To address these concerns for developing students’ computer science skills and, understandingand awareness of cybersecurity issues across multiple educational levels, we have developed andpiloted a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) modular Cybersecurity Training (CST) Kit with theaccompanying modular curriculum at variable levels. The Kit allows the students to test theconcepts taught in class on real hardware immediately. It facilitates hands-on assignment wherethe students assemble modular hardware components and modify program binaries to achieve thedesired goals. The Kit is based on a previously developed apparatus [2
graduates to be inadequately prepared in these areas [9]. Efforts toremedy this deficiency have identified a number of approaches for integrating contextualcompetence into the curriculum. For example, students‟ immersion in a real-world communitycontext is a key component of Purdue‟s NAE-recognized Engineering Projects in CommunityService (EPICS) [10], which involves students in long-term, real-world design projects. Similarly,evidence indicates that Smith College‟s TOYtech project [11], in which students are tasked withdesigning toys that introduce children to the principles of technology, helps develop students‟recognition of the importance of working well in teams and considering the societal impact ofengineering practice.The framework for
separation, the technical and social, we’re creating this false separation and we keep reinforcing it in different ways.Not engineeringA related challenge is the marginalization of ESI and its treatment as not real engineering.The exclusion of ESI from the technical engineering curriculum gives students theimpression that ethical and societal responsibilities are not an inherent part of engineering.An interviewee who teaches in electrical engineering noted, “every time we try to teachethics, it’s seen as an add-on, a bolt-on to the program, it’s outside students’ purview ofwhat engineering should be.” As a result, the department for which he is the chair changedtheir approach to ethics education by integrating it into capstone design in the context
