WIP: Interdisciplinary Teaching via Hands-on Practice in Cybersecurity

Interdisciplinary teaching is challenging but it is also highly demanded, especially in the era of Internet-of-Everything. This work-in-progress paper introduces the effort that promotes interdisciplinary teaching across discipline boundaries of electrical and electronic engineering, information theory, semiconductors, telecommunication engineering, robotics, computer science, and control. Two approaches are proposed to enhance interdisciplinary teaching: student-driven skill sharing fosters more knowledge exchange across multiple disciplines and curriculum changes advance active and competency learning. The proposed teaching approaches are implemented in the hands-on projects conducted in a new educational laboratory and outside-of-classroom activities, such as skill-sharing workshops, IEEE club nights, and Cybersecurity Day.
