Embedded systems are ubiquitous systems that areused to capture, store, manipulate, and access sensitive data. The security of these systems posesseveral unique and interesting security challenges.This paper focuses on the spectrum of security: the history, the current utilizations, and thefuture. Throughout the paper, items that are of particular importance to embedded systems arehighlighted. This paper also addresses the lack of integration of embedded security educationalactivities in different undergraduate computing and engineering programs.Introduction:An embedded system is an application-specific

Many instructors have had individualsuccess with service learning design projects, and we hope to expand these valuable learningexperiences to an even larger percentage of our students.Service LearningService-learning is a pedagogy in which students achieve academic learning objectives byworking on projects that address societal needs. Necessary, and to distinguish itself fromcommunity service, is a reflection component (Jacoby, 1996; Tsang, 2000). Students gain anappreciation for the role they can play in society by reflecting on a variety of socioeconomic andethical implications of their

The cultivation of curiosity reframes the failure into ‘Openness to Failure’. c) Sense of Agency: In the literature, a Sense of Agency has been measured as both an individual construct and a group construct. The Sense of Agency, feeling in control of one’s own actions and having an influence on the outside world [21], [18], [22], motivationally translates into a sense of joint agency by developing shared intentions and actioning on them [23]. van der Wal, Sebanz and Knoblic [23] found that Joint Agency, while
