Despite the critical societal importance of computer security, security is not well integrated into the undergraduate computing curriculum. Undergraduate classes or security tracks treat security issues as separable topics like database or software engineering, as opposed to fundamental issues that pervade all aspects of software development.

Security Injections are strategically-placed security-related modules for existing undergraduate classes. The combination of lab exercises and student-completed checklists in these security injections has helped us teach security across the curriculum without adding extra pressure on already-overburdened undergraduate degree programs.
