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

作为国家安全局指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心（CAE/IAE），空军技术学院（AFIT）的信息安全教育与研究中心（CISER）正在为信息保障（IA）合格专业人员的培养做出重大贡献。通过这个项目，CISER和俄亥俄州代顿市的辛克莱社区学院正在建立一个教育伙伴关系，以提高信息保障（IA）的意识、教育和知识。AFIT和Sinclair CC正在开发教师资源，并制作独特的课程，以满足工业，政府，急救人员和执法部门的需求。这种伙伴关系允许AFIT教师、IA课程和实验室资源与辛克莱教师共享。这项工作的教师发展部分是建立在现有的辛克莱教师IT专业知识的基础上，将他们的学术课程扩展到IA领域。CISER与Sinclair学院共享课程和实验材料。知识价值。该项目将提供以下可交付成果：一门社区学院级别的网络取证课程，用于向第一响应者和从业人员广泛传播；一份NSTISSI 4011课程地图，用于辛克莱IT/IA项目；两名受过IA教育的辛克莱CC教师；以及一份项目报告，用于传播社区学院级别的IA项目的发展。更广泛的影响。AFIT和Sinclair CC之间的合作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，将网络取证的知识扩展到更大、更多样化的学生群体。随着这一合作伙伴关系所提供的IA重点的增加，课程扩展正在从CIS项目扩展到辛克莱的其他学术部门，如法律协助、刑事司法课程的法医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。这种合作关系使AFIT和辛克莱能够通过辛克莱的网络取证课程，对执法界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.
