“…However, significant deficiencies appeared when students were asked about different types of CS topics, such as programming and web design, and cybersecurity topics, such as encryption, Linux, and denial of service attacks. This is extremely concerning given the importance of data security required to safeguard the public food supply and how other platforms, like Linux, will become increasingly important for food science students to master (Dutta & Mathur, 2012). Linux and computer programming languages, such as R, Python, C++, and Java, will be important tools for students to master if they are expected to meet the demands of their jobs.…”

“…Linux and computer programming languages, such as R, Python, C++, and Java, will be important tools for students to master if they are expected to meet the demands of their jobs. This is very concerning as K through 12 education, nor undergraduate and graduate food science education, emphasize these important skillsets (Dutta & Mathur, 2012).…”

Automation is coming and will enable not only the ability to increase poultry processing line speeds, but also the collection of considerable "big data." These data can be collected en masse, stored, analyzed, and used to improve food safety, quality, enhance traceability, and also be used for risk assessment. However, as this technology is implemented in the poultry industry, computer hackers will emerge to pose a clear and present danger to the poultry industry and the upcoming generation of professionals must be equipped with the knowledge to protect sensitive data. The objective of this study was to quantitate the current computer science (CS) competency, food science exposure and extracurricular activities, and familiarity with cybersecurity topics of students in food science and related fields. Students ranked their CS abilities, 1 through 5, with 1 being the lowest level of competence and 5 representing the highest level of confidence. To assess their knowledge of food safety-related sciences, participants were asked about their familiarity with the respective fields. The average student was familiar with common avenues of food safety exposure, such as television and the Internet. Students were less familiar with more advanced, and arguably important topics, such as botnet. Finally, the students ranked their familiarity with cybersecurity topics, 1 through 5, with 1 representing being not familiar at all and 5 representing extremely familiar. Therefore, to meet the future technological demands, specific course-work is required to improve prospective student CS and cybersecurity competency.

During COVID-19 Pandemic lockdown, global education systems rapidly transitioned to internet-based classes to maintain the continuity of learning. This shift, however, highlighted significant challenges within elementary science education. A great disparity exists between the expected "hands-on experiments", "critical thinking" in science education and the reality of online elementary science education. The unique capabilities of natural sciences to leverage serious games, utilizing quantitative and predictive models for creating engaging microworlds and simulations, present a viable solution. These games enhance interactivity and engagement, fostering a deeper understanding of scientific concepts through the "learning by doing" approach. Given the great popularity among gen z students, VR-Supported immerse Learning environment, the flexibility for user creation, and the social interactive and collaborative learning experiences, Implementing Roblox for elementary science education emerges as a promising strategy to enrich science learning, despite the existing hurdles such as a shortage of educational games on Roblox, the lack of teacher training in leveraging such digital tools effectively and challenges from cyberbully and cybersecurity.

There is no denial on the growing importance of cybersecurity in today's ever increasing globalized world. Yet nations, enterprises and even small organizations still face difficulties with external and internal threats due to the approaches to cybersecurity that are reductionist in nature. Dealing with cybersecurity at the international, national and enterprise level needs approaches that works across many disciplines and are holistic. Cybernetics is one such promising approach that will aid cybersecurity at all levels due to its multidisciplinary nature. But there have been no significant efforts or studies to use cybernetics for cyber-security. In this paper, we propose a generic cybernetics paradigms framework for cyberspace that will be useful to study various mechanisms of cyberspace from economics, engineering, software and social perspectives. It is argued that holistic understanding of cyberspace is the key for effective diagnosis and design of cyber-security of a nation or enterprise or small organization.
