Unfortunately, theapproaches taken do not readily apply to the cybersecurity classroom. First, the content of thesecourses has remained fairly consistent from year to year and even from university to university.Second, given the number of students enrolled in these courses (the introductory programmingcourse in our program had over 110 students enrolled this past semester), researchers are able toconduct quantitative surveys and achieve statistically significant results over the course of a singlesemester and compare results from courses at various schools

were overall a success. Students were able tocomplete the assignments, seemed to enjoy the assignments, and did a good job of extendingtheir experimental observations to new applications. Development of the labs created severalchallenges, including selecting materials that were low cost, but exhibited the desired behavior.It proved especially difficult to create a torsion setup that could be replicated at home withminimal friction interference. However, the resulting setup worked very well and student resultswere positive. Finding a balance between the included components of the lab kit and the cost ofthe kit will be an ongoing challenge.ConclusionsThe purpose of this project was to create a set of at-home laboratory experiments to complimenta

fifth task requires exercising Bayes' theorem directly or using the box as a tool to aid the calculation.A working design engineer will never encounter a problem where the setting, scaffolding,challenges, and targets are clearly evident. For real problems, structure must be created. Thisinvolves clarifying more than the type of information typically given in traditional textbookproblems. The current conditions and knowledge, the new knowledge needed, the resourcesneeded, the solution method, and the nature of the terminal state must all be defined and clarified.The process may not be orderly all the way through a project, but when the time allotted is almostover, a successful project must produce something that can be clearly displayed

After considerableconsultation with industry human resource representatives, university professors, and theuniversity’s career counselors, a professional development program was formed to address threemain areas of interest: the improvement of core research abilities, the development of skillsrequired for transition from academia to industry, and the necessity of projecting a professionaldisposition in the workplace. The graduate students organized a yearlong series of workshops inwhich university and industry professionals addressed each of the three areas of interest. Theprogram was evaluated through a combination of peer and self-reviews, writing improvementrubrics, and industry representative criticisms. The results
