Abstract:

The paper offers a discussion of fundamental concepts of cybersecurity, aimed at use in technical education at the college level. After outlining some of the existing approaches to curriculum design, as presented in guidelines developed by professional organizations, the authors address the issue of teaching basic concepts and principles of cybersecurity, with examples from their own courses in the undergraduate software engineering program at Florida Gulf Coast University.
