Drive to Secure: Integrating IoT Cybersecurity into Automotive Education with the Sentinel Workforce Model
Thursday June 25, 2026 8:45am - 10:25am CDT
BLDG T-403
As modern vehicles evolve into sophisticated IoT ecosystems, the intersection of automotive technology and cybersecurity has become a critical frontier for workforce development. This interactive workshop demonstrates how to bridge the gap between traditional automotive programs and cybersecurity curricula. Participants will explore the application of the National Science Foundation-funded SENTINEL (Security and Networking Training through Immersive, Novel, and Experiential Learning) model—a scalable, non-credit approach pioneered by Wake Technical Community College—specifically tailored for securing in-car communication systems.

The session will focus on the technical and pedagogical strategies for teaching IoT cybersecurity measures to automotive students. Educators will engage in hands-on demonstrations of in-vehicle network vulnerabilities (such as CAN bus exploitation) and the corresponding defensive protocols required to secure them. Beyond the technical, we will share "lessons learned" from the Sentinel program’s holistic immersion model, which integrates industry mentoring and work-based learning into technical instruction.

Attendees will leave with a practical framework for implementing high-impact, immersive labs that prepare students for the unique security challenges of the transportation and manufacturing sectors. We will conclude with a collaborative session on scaling this cross-disciplinary model to other technical programs, highlighting how non-credit, cohort-based pathways can accelerate talent development and complement existing CAE-CD academic tracks.
