Collaborative Project: Bridging Gaps in IA Education through Collaboration

这个项目弥合了多数社区和少数社区之间日益扩大的“高科技差距”，这种差距可能严重损害我们国家在科学和技术方面的领导地位。该项目的主要目标是在北卡罗来纳航空航天大学建立IA教育能力，使其能够提供符合NSA CAE/IAE指定标准的独立IA项目。北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校是一所CAE/IAE机构，在这方面为北卡罗来纳理工大学提供了重要的支持。该项目还使北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校进一步提高其IA教育能力。该项目着眼于信息保障课程的发展，在北卡罗来纳理工大学计算机科学系和北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校软件与信息系统系建立了新的信息保障本科课程。这些项目虽然是独立的，但旨在共享IA的资源，以便为两所学校的学生提供更丰富的选修课。课程开发包括现有课程的修改、新课程的设计和开发以及实验室和实验室项目的开发等活动。该项目还通过精心设计的教师暑期项目促进了北卡罗来纳a&t SU的教师发展。

This project bridges the widening "high-tech gap" between majority and minority communities that can seriously undermine our nation's leadership position in science and technology. The main objective of the project is to build up IA education capacity at NC A&T SU so that it can offer an independent IA program that meets NSA CAE/IAE designation criteria. UNC Charlotte, a CAE/IAE institution, provides critical support to NC A&T SU in this effort. The project also enables UNC Charlotte to further enhance its IA education capacity. With focus on the development of information assurance curricula, the project establishes new IA undergraduate programs within the Computer Science Department at NC A&T SU and within Software and Information Systems Department at UNC Charlotte. These programs, though independent, are designed to share IA resources in order to offer richer electives for students at both institutions. Curriculum development involves activities such as modification of existing courses, new course design and development, as well as laboratory and lab projects development. The project also promotes faculty development at NC A&T SU, through a well-designed faculty summer program.
