As cyber threats to critical infrastructure grow, cybersecurity education must evolve. New and early career faculty are key to preparing the future workforce, but integrating critical infrastructure topics into courses can feel overwhelming. This session offers practical strategies for embedding these concepts into introductory cybersecurity courses. Through interactive discussion, participants will explore ways to incorporate the 16 critical infrastructure sectors, align content with workforce frameworks like NICE and DCWF, and use hands-on resources from Try Cyber, CLARK, Security Injections, and Immersive Labs. The session will also cover collaboration with industry partners to develop timely, real-world examples. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to enhance their curriculum and build a network of peers and professionals committed to protecting critical infrastructure.
