Collaborative Project: Expanding Information Assurance Education

自1997年以来，FSU一直致力于建立和支持信息保障和安全方面的教育和研究计划。第一期信息保障课程于1999年秋季和2000年春季学期开课。自那以后，随着信息保障课程的增加和学生人数的增加，该项目一直在稳步增长。FSU和FAMU之间的这一合作努力旨在通过帮助FAMU开发目前不存在的IA项目来使FAMU受益，并通过扩大其研究努力、增加少数族裔在其研究生课程中的代表性以及通过增强其本科生水平的教学课程内容来加强FMU的该项目。智力价值该项目在其适应性以及对巨大资源库的认识和利用方面具有创新性。在FSU开设IA研究生课程所获得的知识和经验被转移到FSU和FAMU的本科生课程中，那里有大量的学生在寻找这样的机会。广泛的影响这种方法从以前未开发的资源中培养出大量的IA毕业生。在预计每年100名毕业生中，统计数据显示，这些学生中将有60%至70%来自贫困和弱势群体。

FSU has been committed to building and supporting an education and research program in Information Assurance and Security since 1997. The first Information Assurance courses were offered in the fall 1999 and spring 2000 semesters. The program has grown steadily since, with the addition of expanded Information Assurance courses and a growing student population.This collaborative effort between FSU and FAMU is intended to benefit FAMU by helping to develop an IA program at FAMU that does not currently exist and to strengthen the program at FSU by broadening its research effort, increasing minority representation in its graduate program, and by enhancing its instructional course content at the undergraduate level.Intellectual MeritThis project is innovative in its adaptive nature and its recognition and leverage of a vast resource pool. The knowledge and experience gained in establishing the graduate IA program at FSU is transferred to undergraduate programs at FSU and FAMU, where large numbers of students are seeking such opportunities.Broader ImpactsThis approach produces a large number of IA graduates from previously untapped resources. Of the anticipated one hundred graduates per year, statistics show that sixty to seventy percent of these students will be from underprivileged and disadvantaged groups.
