Collaborative Project: Air Force Institute of Technology and Sinclair Community College: Building Core IA Educational Capacity

作为美国国家安全局指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心(CAE/IAE)，空军理工学院信息安全教育与研究中心(CSER)正在为培养合格的信息保障(IA)专业人员做出重大贡献。通过该项目，CISER和俄亥俄州代顿市的辛克莱社区学院正在结成教育伙伴关系，以促进信息保障(IA)意识、教育和知识的发展。AFIT和辛克莱CC正在开发教师资源，并制作独特的课程，以满足行业、政府、急救人员和执法部门的需求。这一合作伙伴关系使AFIT教师、IA课程和实验室资源能够与辛克莱教师共享。这项工作的教师发展部分是建立在现有辛克莱学院IT专业知识的基础上，将他们的学术项目扩展到IA领域。西塞正在与辛克莱的教职员工分享课程和实验室材料。智力上的优点。该项目提供了以下交付成果：社区大学层面的网络取证课程，用于向急救人员和从业者广泛传播；NSTISSI 4011课程地图，用于辛克莱IT/IA项目；两名接受过IA教育的教职员工，用于辛克莱CC；以及项目报告，以传播社区大学层面的IA项目的发展。广泛的影响。AFIT和辛克莱CC之间的伙伴关系通过将经过验证的课程和实践整合到社区大学环境中，将网络取证知识扩展到更大和更多样化的学生群体。随着这一合作伙伴关系提供的IA重点增加，课程扩展正在从CIS计划延伸到辛克莱的其他学术部门，如法律援助、刑事司法取证课程和联合健康课程，在这些课程中，获取、保护和传输患者信息变得越来越重要。该项目正在为每年增加500多名学生奠定基础。这一伙伴关系使AFIT和辛克莱也能够通过辛克莱的网络取证课程对执法社区的教育产生更广泛的影响。

As a National Security Agency designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE), the Center for Information Security Education and Research (CISER) at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) is making significant contributions to the production of information assurance (IA) qualified professionals. Through this project, CISER and Sinclair Community College in Dayton Ohio are forming an educational partnership for the advancement of information assurance (IA) awareness, education, and knowledge. AFIT and Sinclair CC are developing faculty resources and producing a unique curriculum to serve the needs of industry, government, first responders, and law enforcement. This partnership is allowing AFIT faculty, IA curricula, and laboratory resources to be shared with Sinclair faculty. The faculty development portion of this effort is building upon existing Sinclair faculty IT expertise to extend their academic programs into the IA arena. CISER is sharing course and laboratory material with Sinclair faculty. Intellectual merit. The project is providing the following deliverables: a cyber forensics course at the community college level for broad dissemination to first-responders and practitioners, a NSTISSI 4011 course mapping for Sinclair IT/IA programs, two IA educated faculty members for Sinclair CC, and project reports to disseminate the development of an IA program at the community college level.Broader impact. The partnership between AFIT and Sinclair CC is expanding the knowledge of cyber forensics to a larger and more diverse student population by integrating proven curricula and practices into the community college environment. With the increased IA focus this partnership is providing, curriculum expansions are extending beyond the CIS program to other academic departments at Sinclair such as Legal Assisting, the Criminal Justice program for forensics courses, and Allied Health courses where obtaining, securing, and transmitting patient information is becoming increasingly critical. The project is laying the groundwork to involve an additional 500+ students annually. This partnership is allowing AFIT and Sinclair to also make a broader impact on the education of the law enforcement community via the cyber forensics course at Sinclair.
