   1. Cyber Security:
      a. For every course:  At least two areas of cyber security associated with that course
      a. For the Software Development report:  What are some possible security issues associated with the program?
   1. Professional skills
      a. College gems
      a. Note taking: Providing guidance, decreasing the support as they progress, and other techniques
      a. Time management: Initially recording time spent to program, to predicting and than assessing the accuracy of the prediction
      a. Quality of work:  Requiring students to indicate how they improved from the previous assignment.
