This project is expanding the capacity of the Iowa State University (ISU) SFS Cyber Corps program. Designated by the National Security Agency as a charter Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education, ISU further recognizes the importance of the information assurance (IA) field by supporting a new IA Center on campus. Through this project, ISU is continuing participation in the NSF SFS program. IA education and research faculty from the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Political Science, Mathematics, Educational Leadership, and Logistics, Operations, and Management Information Systems are leading the interdisciplinary Cyber Corps program. Thirty students, comprising two cohort groups of five undergraduate and 10 graduate students, are working closely with the faculty to receive IA training, conduct research, and develop as leaders and team members. Undergraduate students are completing IA graduate courses as electives during the junior and senior years and are involved in the research of the ISU IA Center, thus augmenting their B.S. degrees with the skills needed to contribute more meaningfully to the IA profession. Graduate students are completing IA courses and developing deeper problem-solving skills through more in-depth research efforts and involvement with major professors. All students are participating with their respective cohorts for two full years in the unique and critical component of the ISU SFS program: leadership, teamwork and professionalism development.Through the expanded SFS program, ISU is developing a year-round recruiting plan with special emphasis on increasing the number of participants from underrepresented groups, further enhancing the selection process, supporting the strong student cohort experience, increasing the scope of mentoring for students, more systematically involving all students in IA research, and employing additional measures of program success. Intellectual Merit. The ISU SFS program is providing the federal workforce with new professionals who have the capacity to address the problems of securing critical federal information infrastructure in innovative ways, preparing professionals to serve as worthy team members and leaders, contributing to the IA knowledge base by enhancing several ISU research programs that address important issues including intrusion detection systems, network security, data privacy and security, dependable systems and networks, and security policy and commerce, and enhancing educational capacity of the IA security education programs.Broader Impact. The ISU SFS program is continuing to benefit society by providing the federal workforce with increased numbers of IA professionals who apply best practices in their technical fields and who engage in lifelong technical, intellectual, leadership and citizenship development. Involving students in research projects and immersing them in leadership, teamwork and professional development throughout their entire Cyber Corps experience is providing the opportunity for students to have a broader impact on society before leaving the university through required IA service-learning projects.

该项目正在扩大爱荷华州州立大学（ISU）SFS网络军团计划的能力。由国家安全局指定为信息保障教育学术卓越的特许中心，ISU通过支持校园内的新IA中心进一步认识到信息保障（IA）领域的重要性。通过这一项目，国际空间大学继续参与国家科学基金会的SFS方案。来自电气和计算机工程，计算机科学，政治学，数学，教育领导，物流，运营和管理信息系统部门的IA教育和研究教师正在领导跨学科的网络军团计划。30名学生，包括5名本科生和10名研究生的两个队列组，正在与教师密切合作，接受IA培训，进行研究，并发展为领导者和团队成员。本科生在大三和大四期间完成IA研究生课程作为选修课，并参与ISU IA中心的研究，从而增强他们的学士学位。学位与所需的技能，以促进更有意义的IA职业。研究生正在完成IA课程，并通过更深入的研究工作和与主要教授的参与，发展更深层次的解决问题的技能。所有学生都与各自的同龄人在ISU SFS计划的独特和关键组成部分参加了整整两年：通过扩大的SFS计划，ISU正在制定一项全年招聘计划，特别强调增加代表性不足群体的参与者人数，进一步加强选拔过程，支持强大的学生群体经验，扩大对学生的指导范围，更系统地让所有学生参与IA研究，并采用额外的措施来衡量项目的成功。智力优势。ISU SFS计划为联邦劳动力提供新的专业人员，他们有能力以创新的方式解决保护关键联邦信息基础设施的问题，为专业人员做好准备，成为有价值的团队成员和领导者，通过加强几个ISU研究计划为IA知识库做出贡献，这些研究计划解决了包括入侵检测系统，网络安全，数据隐私和安全在内的重要问题，可靠的系统和网络，安全政策和商业，提高信息安全教育计划的教育能力。ISU SFS计划继续造福社会，为联邦劳动力提供越来越多的IA专业人员，他们在技术领域应用最佳实践，并终身从事技术，智力，领导力和公民发展。让学生参与研究项目，并让他们在整个网络军团的经验中沉浸在领导力，团队合作和专业发展中，为学生提供了机会，使他们在离开大学之前通过所需的IA服务学习项目对社会产生更广泛的影响。
