Computer Engineering Technology Security Curriculum Expansion and Enhancement

为了满足佛罗里达州中部的劳动力需求，该项目正在开发和实施计算机工程技术（CET） AS学位课程中的网络安全专业化。项目目标包括每年增加5%的全日制大学英语专业学生入学人数，到项目期结束时将目标大学英语学生的保留率提高5%，到项目期结束时将目标大学英语学习者的就业率提高5%。该项目正在开展一系列与课程和项目开发、教师发展和衔接相关的活动，包括：*建立网络安全专业人员的资格；*在两年制和四年制院校、企业、工业和政府之间建立牢固的伙伴关系；*发展本地院校之间的衔接协议（特别是瓦伦西亚社区学院和中佛罗里达大学之间）；*将认证要求纳入课程和项目；*调整和调整课程和课程内容；*为学生立即就业和持续的职业发展做好准备；*使用国家安全局安全职位分类作为制定项目要求的框架；*开展跨机构合作活动，促进网络安全职业发展；为教师提供最有效的教学方法培训，以最大限度地提高学生的学习能力。作为成功指标收集的数据包括课程注册、保留和完成情况；宣布专业;项目完成;配售;代表性不足群体的参与；并及时完成项目活动。

In response to workforce needs in central Florida, this project is developing and implementing a cybersecurity specialization within an AS degree program in Computer Engineering Technology (CET). Project objectives include increasing the number of full-time entering students declaring a major in CET by 5% each year, increasing retention rates for targeted CET students by 5% by the end of the project period, and increasing placement rates for targeted CET completers by 5% by the end of the project period.The project is undertaking a number of activities related to curriculum and program development, faculty development, and articulation, including:* establishing qualifications for cybersecurity professionals;* establishing strong partnerships between two-year and four-year institutions, business, industry, and government;* developing articulation agreements between local institutions (especially between Valencia Community College and the University of Central Florida);* integrating certification requirements into courses and programs;* aligning and adapting courses and course content;* preparing students for immediate employment and continued career advancement;* using the National Security Agency categorization of security positions as a framework for developing program requirements;* developing collaborative activities across institutions to promote cybersecurity careers; and* providing faculty with training on the most effective instructional methods for maximizing student learning.Data being collected as indicators of success include course enrollment, retention, and completion; declared majors; program completion; placements; participation of underrepresented groups; and timely completion of project activities.
