Collaborative Research: A Five-College Partnership for Information Assurance Education

五学院系统是汉普郡阿默斯特学院的独特合作伙伴关系。霍利奥克学院、史密斯学院和马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校。这一合作项目扩大了五所学院在信息保障领域培养不同的本科生和研究生的能力。马萨诸塞州大学阿默斯特分校将领导这项工作，利用其作为IA学术卓越中心的资源和地位。这个项目的基础是五所学院的六名教职员工的合作努力，目的是创造和共享资源。通过培养对IA教育和研究感兴趣的文化，我们鼓励合作研究提案和教师招聘。此外，本科生和研究生在离开五所学院系统时，会带着改善商业和研究IA系统所需的兴趣和技能。我们通过三个主要活动来实现这一点：课程开发，通过接触外部研究来发展教师，以及通过实验室开发实践技术经验。

The Five College system is a unique partnership of Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mt. Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. This collaborative project expands the ability of each of the five colleges to produce a diverse body of undergraduate and graduate students in the area of Information Assurance. UMass Amherst will lead this effort, leveraging its resources and status as a Center of Academic Excellence in IA. The foundation of this project is the collaborative efforts of six faculty members in the Five Colleges with the aim of creating and sharing resources. By cultivating a culture of interest in IA education and research, we motivate collaborative research proposals and faculty recruiting. Additionally, undergraduate and graduate students leave the Five College system with the interests and skills necessary to improve commercial and research IA systems. We accomplish this through three major activities: Curriculum Development, Faculty Development Through Exposure to External Research, and Lab Development for Hands-on Technical Experience.
