This project is comprehensively integrating cybersecurity concepts into the curriculum of the Computer Information Systems (CIS) Department at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). In addition, the project is offering an eight-week summer instructional program (a "bridge" program) for high school students; arranging internships for students in conjunction with industry partners; developing a cybersecurity laboratory; and providing professional development for college and high school faculty through in-person and online workshops and training sessions.The project team is creating four courses and redesigning seventeen other courses in order to integrate computer security concepts into each major (Computer Operations, Computer Programming, and Computer Science) in the college's CIS curriculum. The computer security concepts included in these courses are derived from objectives specified by CompTIA's Security+ certification and the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) specified by the International Information Systems Security Certifications Consortium [(ISC)2] for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and System Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certifications. The concepts covered in the courses are also tied to job competencies defined in the computer security skill standards that have been developed by the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET). In addition to redesigning the curricula for CIS majors, the project team is redesigning a non-major CIS course to raise the cybersecurity awareness of students in non-technical majors.By infusing cybersecurity concepts throughout the subject matter of existing curricula, this project takes a different approach than traditional security instruction, which presupposes a certain body of knowledge prior to introducing security concepts to students. This different approach extends the impact of this project by enabling students with diverse academic backgrounds to engage in different activities within the context of computer security. At one end of the spectrum, it encourages computer science majors to do research on the underlying theories of security, while at the other end, it raises awareness and teaches secure computing practices to non-CIS majors. The project also includes high school students recruited through a summer "bridge" program, and enables graduates to continue their education through articulation agreements with four-year colleges.The project is also attracting minorities and women into information technology careers. Over 75% of BMCC's students are African American or Hispanic, and over two thirds of BMCC's students are women. The college has developed a "collaborative learning model" that has proven particularly effective in engaging and retaining female and minority students in science, technology, and mathematics fields.BMCC's partners in the project include Louis D. Brandeis High School, Herbert H. Lehman College, Alcatel Corp., the New York Software Industry Association, the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Branch, and the New York City Regional Consortium.

该项目正在将网络安全概念全面纳入曼哈顿社区学院计算机信息系统系的课程。 此外，该项目还提供为期八周的暑期教学计划（针对高中生的“桥梁”计划）;与行业合作伙伴一起为学生安排实习;开发网络安全实验室;为大学和高中教师提供专业发展，该项目小组正在开设四门课程，并重新设计其他十七门课程，以便将计算机安全纳入在学院的CIS课程中，每个专业（计算机操作，计算机编程和计算机科学）都有概念。 这些课程中包含的计算机安全概念来自CompTIA的Security+认证和国际信息系统安全认证联盟[（ISC）2]为认证信息系统安全专业人员（CISSP）和系统安全认证从业人员（SSCP）认证指定的公共知识体系（CBK）。 课程中涵盖的概念也与国家新兴技术劳动力中心（NWCET）制定的计算机安全技能标准中定义的工作能力有关。 除了重新设计CIS专业的课程外，项目团队还重新设计了一门非专业CIS课程，以提高非技术专业学生的网络安全意识。该项目通过将网络安全概念融入现有课程的主题内容中，采取了与传统安全教学不同的方法，在向学生介绍安全概念之前先假设一定的知识体系。 这种不同的方法通过使具有不同学术背景的学生能够在计算机安全的背景下从事不同的活动来扩展该项目的影响。 一方面，它鼓励计算机科学专业的学生对安全的基本理论进行研究，而另一方面，它提高了人们的认识，并向非CIS专业的学生教授安全计算实践。 该项目还包括通过夏季“桥梁”方案招募的高中生，并使毕业生能够通过与四年制大学的衔接协议继续接受教育，该项目还吸引少数民族和妇女从事信息技术职业。 超过75%的BMCC的学生是非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔，超过三分之二的BMCC的学生是女性。 该学院开发了一种“协作学习模式”，该模式已被证明在吸引和留住科学，技术和数学领域的女性和少数民族学生方面特别有效。布兰迪斯高中，赫伯特H。雷曼学院，阿尔卡特公司，纽约软件行业协会、美国特勤局电子犯罪分支和纽约市区域联盟。
