In this project, a consortium consisting of Mt. San Antonio College, Long Beach City College, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Los Angeles, and Cal State Northridge are building educational pathways in cybersecurity in Los Angeles County and the surrounding area. The project builds on a previous grant that involved Mt. San Antonio College and Cal Poly Pomona (NSF Award No. 0302942). The project has four major concentrations:(1) Workforce Development: The consortium is increasing the number of students who complete academic programs with coursework in cybersecurity, from certificates to baccalaureate degrees. It is also increasing the number of technicians and professionals in the field who are trained in cybersecurity. The project team is implementing a structured internship program and is working with employers to evaluate the success of consortium graduates after they enter the workforce.(2) Curriculum Development, Revision, and Dissemination: The consortium is updating existing cybersecurity courses and disseminating proven models. It is developing curricula in secure coding and software assurance; developing educational pathways in network administration and security management and software/information assurance; working with K-12 schools on curriculum alignment and dual enrollment; and ensuring that new curricula are aligned with industry and national standards.(3) Professional Development for Educators: The consortium is providing training and professional development for college faculty and K-12 teachers in the region. It is hosting workshops, symposia, "boot camps," and other activities focusing on cybersecurity trends and practices, and is supporting faculty to attend related professional conferences.(4) Outreach and Partnership Development: The consortium is cultivating new partnerships with community colleges, universities, K-12 schools, industry, and professional organizations to assess regional needs and provide specific programs, activities, and curricula to address those needs.All of the institutions in the consortium are Hispanic Serving Institutions, and all have a wide student ethnic representation. These large minority enrollments, combined with targeted outreach to underrepresented populations, ensure that the project is providing cybersecurity education for traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines.The project's Web site (http://rissc.mtsac.edu) provides links to new and enhanced curricula, information about conferences and professional development opportunities, links to vendor-neutral and vendor-specific certification programs, publications and presentations developed by project team members, and other resources.

在这个项目中，一个由圣安东尼奥山学院、长滩城市学院、加州保利波莫纳分校、加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和加州州立大学北岭分校组成的联盟正在洛杉矶县及周边地区建立网络安全教育途径。该项目建立在之前的资助基础上，该资助涉及圣安东尼奥山学院和加州波莫纳理工学院（NSF奖号0302942）。该项目有四个重点：(1)劳动力发展：该联盟正在增加完成网络安全学术课程的学生人数，从证书到学士学位。它还增加了在该领域接受过网络安全培训的技术人员和专业人员的数量。项目团队正在实施一项结构化的实习计划，并与雇主合作，评估联盟毕业生进入职场后的成功程度。(2)课程开发、修订和传播：该联盟正在更新现有的网络安全课程，并传播经过验证的模型。它正在开发安全编码和软件保证课程；发展网络管理、安全管理和软件/信息保障方面的教育途径；与K-12学校合作进行课程调整和双招生；确保新课程符合行业和国家标准。(3)教育工作者专业发展：该联盟为该地区的大学教师和K-12教师提供培训和专业发展。它正在举办研讨会、专题讨论会、“新兵训练营”和其他活动，重点关注网络安全趋势和实践，并支持教师参加相关的专业会议。(4)拓展和伙伴关系发展：该联盟正在与社区学院、大学、K-12学校、工业和专业组织建立新的伙伴关系，以评估区域需求，并提供具体的项目、活动和课程来满足这些需求。联盟中的所有机构都是西班牙裔服务机构，所有机构都有广泛的种族学生代表。这些为数众多的少数族裔学生，再加上有针对性地向代表性不足的人群提供服务，确保了该项目为STEM学科中传统代表性不足的群体提供网络安全教育。该项目的网站（http://rissc.mtsac.edu）提供了新的和增强的课程、会议和专业发展机会的信息、与供应商无关和特定于供应商的认证计划、项目团队成员开发的出版物和演示文稿以及其他资源的链接。
