Collaborative Project: Federal Cyber Service: Capacity Building Programs of Study in Information Security and Assurance

该项目正在开发和实施两个创新的信息安全学位课程——肯尼索州立大学（KSU）的信息安全与保障理学学士学位（ISA），以及萨凡纳州立大学（SSU）的信息安全工商管理学士学位（计算机信息系统）。作为主要重点，这些方案的设计和销售旨在增加妇女和少数民族对信息保障的参与。此外，一项专业发展计划正在实施，部分基于普渡大学信息保障与安全教育与研究中心（CERIAS）提供的计划。知识价值。这两个新项目正在根据已建立的课程开发方法和几个信息保障教育学术卓越中心的课程模式进行开发和实施。更广泛的影响。这个项目正在增加质量信息保证专业人员的生产。KSU的CyberTech项目是一个为期三年的项目，旨在招募代表性不足的高中生进入数学和科学学位课程，通过利用该项目的资源，pi正在增加这些群体在IA项目中的代表性，并最终在IA领域。此外，KSU和SSU教师的专业发展计划正在支持这些计划的持续发展，并为整个东南部两年制和四年制大学的类似学术计划的区域发展奠定基础。

This project is developing and implementing two innovative Information Security degree programs - a Bachelor of Science in Information Security and Assurance (ISA) at Kennesaw State University (KSU), and a concentration in Information Security in the Bachelor of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems degree at Savannah State University (SSU). As a primary focus, these programs are being designed and marketed to increase the participation of women and minorities in information assurance. In addition, a professional development program is being implemented based, in part, on the programs offered through the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS) at Purdue University.Intellectual merit. The two new programs are being developed and implemented according to established curriculum development methods and based on the curricular models of several Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Broader impact. This project is increasing the production of quality information assurance professionals. By leveraging the resources of KSU's CyberTech program, a three-year program designed to recruit underrepresented high school students into math and science degree programs, the PIs are increasing the representation of these groups in the IA programs and ultimately in the IA field. In addition, the professional development program for KSU and SSU faculty is supporting the continued development of these programs and is laying the groundwork for the regional development of similar academic programs throughout the Southeast at two- and four-year institutions.
