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

五个学院系统是阿默斯特学院，汉普郡学院，山独特的合作伙伴关系。霍利奥克学院、史密斯学院和马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校。这个合作项目扩大了五所学院中的每一所的能力，以在信息保障领域培养多样化的本科生和研究生。马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校将领导这一努力，利用其资源和地位作为学术卓越的IA中心。该项目的基础是五所学院六名教师的共同努力，旨在创造和共享资源。通过培养对IA教育和研究感兴趣的文化，我们激励合作研究提案和教师招聘。此外，本科生和研究生离开五学院系统的兴趣和必要的技能，以改善商业和研究IA系统。我们通过三个主要活动来实现这一目标：课程开发，通过暴露于外部研究的教师发展，以及实践技术经验的实验室开发。

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.
