Abstract:
Robust and resilient cyber defense mechanisms and better educated future workforce are vital components for the protection of our nationâ€™s critical infrastructures. As such, the need for an enhanced information assurance and
security curriculum with emphasis on embedded and control systems can no longer be ignored. Recognizing this training gap, we designed and implemented a collection of laboratory projects for an embedded and control systems security
curriculum that emphasizes a balance between theory and application. Each project, whose main purpose is to stimulate learning and motivate critical thinking among undergraduate students, is designed with careful attention to details. In
this paper, we provide the learning objectives, knowledge prerequisites, activities involved, expected outcomes, and a list of suggested references for additional reading assignments for each one of those projects.
