“…This has led to the development and implementation of numerous information security awareness programmes within these domains (Bishop, 2000;Crowley, 2003;Hilburn, 1999;Kritzinger & Smith, 2006;The White House, 2000;Yasubsac, 2002). Within these domains, users are forced by their organizations to make themselves information security aware and to apply a wide range of information security awareness tools.…”

Abstract:We are currently living in an age, where the use of the Internet has become second nature to millions of people. Not only do businesses depend on the Internet for all types of electronic transactions, but more and more home users are experiencing the immense benefit of the Internet.However, this dependence and use of the Internet bring new and dangerous risks. This is due to increasing attempts from unauthorised third parties to compromise private information for their own benefit -the whole wide area of cyber crime.It is therefore essential that all users understand the risks of using the Internet, the importance of securing their personal information and the consequences if this is not done properly.It is well known that home users are specifically vulnerable, and that cyber criminals have such users squarely in their target. This vulnerability of home users are due to many factors, but one of the most important ones is the fact that such home users are in many cases not aware of the risks of using the Internet, and often venture into cyber space without any awareness preparation for this journey.This paper specifically investigates the position of the home user, and proposes a new model, The E-Awareness Model (E-AM), in which home users can be forced to acquaint themselves with the risks involved in venturing into cyber space. The E-AM consists of two components : the awareness component housed in the E-Awareness Portal, and the enforcement component.This model proposes a way to improve information security awareness amongst home users by presenting some information security content and enforcing the absorption of this content.The main difference between the presented model and other existing information security awareness models, is that in the presented model the acquiring/absorption of the awareness content is compulsory -the user is forced to proceed via the E-Awareness Portal without the option of bypassing it.

“…But Surendran, et al [24] note that a difficult thing to achieve in a curriculum is realism-real products signifying tangible, relevant achievements and real people signifying collaborative effort. These researchers utilized well known taxonomies of both learning mastery levels and Software Engineering topics [17] to develop a model of professional mastery appropriate for the real world. The model depends on a complex interaction of subject matter and method of instruction.…”

The Global Studio Project integrated the work of Software Engineering students spread across four countries into a single project and represented, for most of the students, their first major "real-world" development experience. Interviews indicated that the major areas of learning were informal skills that included learning to establish and work effectively within a team, learning how to react quickly to frequent changes in requirements, architecture and organization, and learning to manage and optimize communications. Since all these skills require rapid reaction to unpredictable factors, we view them as improvisation and discuss the role of experiential education in facilitating improvisation.

“…According to Budgen (2003) the design process in its classical form is a scientific approach to problem solving typically consisting of observing the characteristics of some phenomenon, making measurements of these, building a theory to explain them, and then seeking to verify these. According to Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (Hilburn, Hirmanpour, Khajenoori, Turner, & Qasem, 1999):…”

Executive SummaryThe software industry has continued to grow over the past decade and there is now a need to provide education and hands-on training to students in various phases of software life cycle. Software design is one of the vital phases of the software development cycle. Psychological theories assert that not everybody is fit for all kind of tasks as people have different personality traits and abilities. The learning pattern of students is influenced by the personality types, with individuals having different personality types their learning pattern varies. The personality type of an individual generates a great deal of impact on the performance of various activities that humans can carry out. The behavior of individuals with a particular type of personality reflects the way these people perceive the world and make decisions. This personality type classification covers many aspects of human behavior, such as attitude, action and reaction, thinking, learning, feeling, and lifestyle. In this paper we provide empirical evidence about the significance of the personality types and discuss the learning pattern in an undergraduate software design course. The experiment was conducted on a subject of 85 students over the period of two years from 2007 to 2008. We employed the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) after carefully assessing other well regarded personality testing techniques such as MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and 16PF (Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire) to identify the personality type. MBTI establishes four parameters for assessing personality types. We all have the personality qualities contained within each scale or parameter, but we naturally prefer some qualities or are more comfortable with some styles than others. With the MBTI, each scale is bimodal with its central point having a zero value. Quantitative mechanisms were also employed in the form of paper based exams, assignments, projects, and quizzes for evaluating learning patterns of students.
