Evaluation of the second year of a reu program on cyber-physical system cybersecurity

Abstract

The North Dakota State University operated a National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored research experience for undergraduates (REU) program during the summers of 2018 and 2019. This paper presents the results of this program for the second year of operations (in 2019) and compares them to the results from the prior year. It provides an overview of the program and the changes made between the two years. It also discusses the different research topics that students worked on during both years of program participation. The benefits that students sought and attained are also reviewed.
