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--肯纳索州立大学(KSU)的信息安全与保障(ISA)学士学位和萨凡纳州立大学(SSU)计算机信息系统工商管理学士学位的信息安全专业。作为一个主要重点，这些方案的设计和营销是为了增加妇女和少数群体在信息保障方面的参与。此外，在普渡大学信息保障和安全教育和研究中心(CERIAS)提供的课程的基础上，正在实施一项专业发展计划。这两个新方案是根据既定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开发和实施的。更广泛的影响。该项目正在增加质量信息保障专业人才的培养。通过利用KSU的CyberTech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领域增加这些群体的代表。CyberTech项目是一个为期三年的项目，旨在招收未被充分代表的高中生进入数学和科学学位项目。此外，KSU和SSU教员的专业发展计划正在支持这些计划的继续发展，并正在为东南部地区在两年制和四年制院校开展类似的学术计划奠定基础。

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.
