Moreover, project management, team work, development of realisticexpectations and practical solutions are skills that are much demanded by industry in addition todomain-specific technical specialization. We therefore propose a methodology for teachingstandards that creates favorable conditions for developing those skills.The combination of lecture-centered education [2] with laboratory-centered approaches [3], [4],has been adopted in the engineering curriculum when the Conceive, Design

ConclusionThe course uses a variety of problem-solving strategies and encourages practice, exploration, andtinkering to increase students’ comfort not only with their technical skills but also with theirability to acquire new skills. Students can thus approach future coursework, research, andinternships with some introductory experience with version control, security, command line tools,web development, and user-centered design. The course is significantly composed of classworkactivities so that students are highly engaged and regularly expected to work with their peers.Furthermore, this course could be a gateway for students to engage in more computing experienceoutside of their college coursework: hackathons, online coding challenges, computing clubs

]. Predictions for the near future are that this demand for data-skilled talentwill continue to grow, whereas the supply (from colleges and universities training the nextgeneration of data scientists and analysts) will not be able to keep up with that pace (for one suchstudy see, e.g., [3]).To fill in that gap, graduate programs at several leading research universities have created newtracks within the existing graduate programs, or in a few cases new degree programs entirely,focusing on data science and analytics [4]. These programs are led and taught by the existingfaculty ranging from Mathematics & Statistics to Computer Science to Business Schools.However, while training MS and PhD level Data Scientists is important, by itself it is unlikely

We decided to use these 18elective hours for our cybersecurity concentration curriculum courses without increasing thegraduation/degree requirement of 124 credit hours. With this curriculum structure, our cybersecurityconcentration graduates have a solid background both in Computer Science and Cybersecurity.We used evidence based practices such as review of existing cybersecurity curriculum in other academicinstitutions, discussion with our industry partners and scholarly literate to develop courses for thisconcentration.

If theCOO fails to understand or is not aware of security issues, the proper resources may not beallocated to the security of the information assets. CIO reporting is also a concern. By ensuringthe CIO reports to the CEO, the CEO is more likely to be provided a clear picture of thealignment of the technical and business aspects of the organization but miss security concerns.As mentioned, CEOs are concerned with the overall success of the organization and must rely onthe other C-Suite staff for input to assist with organization decisions.

These devices have accessto vast amounts of data, especially personal data. However, due to the compact nature of thesedevices, insufficient effort has been made to incorporate security into their design. With that inmind, IoT devices are treasure-troves of potential evidentiary data for forensic investigators,especially when these devices are used to aid in criminal activities. Concerning IoT devices, thereis a need to investigate these devices to find answers to questions such as, what data can berecovered from these devices along with their respective smartphone applications?
