SFS (Capacity Building Track): Faculty Development to Promote Computer Forensics in the IA Curriculum

布法罗大学(UB)和希尔伯特学院(HC)的这一联合项目正在通过院校教师发展和教师的技术经验，在纽约西部地区扩大信息保障(IA)和计算机取证的能力。我们努力的最终目标是开辟出一条灵活的课程路径，专门从事信息技术和计算机取证，并根据学生的职业目标为学生提供多个退出点。这些大学正在为邻近社区学院和大学的教职员工提供工作坊和密集研讨会，以了解IA和计算机取证方面的最新进展，以及(B)为UB和HC的教职员工提供技术经验，以便IA教职员工随后可以开发全面的计算机取证课程，并将其教授给有实践经验的学生。该项目有两个独特的方面。首先，它借鉴了俄克拉何马州网络安全教育联盟(CSEC)的专业知识，并让纽约州西部地区计算机取证实验室(RCFL)的成员参与这一学习过程。其次，它为三所不同学院和大学的副学士、学士/学士和工商管理硕士/工商管理硕士课程的学生提供了多个出口点，而不需要重新安置学生。虽然纽约西部RCFL目前没有荣誉实习计划，但项目负责人预计，在不久的将来，它将有一个荣誉实习计划-类似于所有其他有实习计划的RCFL(社区距离内的当地学生将优先考虑)。作为一个多学科的信息保障教育学术卓越中心(CAE/IAE)，UB的教职员工预计信息保障教育将通过从计算机科学、工程和数学到管理科学和法律/伦理研究等不同学科进行扩展。该项目产生的更广泛影响包括：(A)促进目前与两年制大学、伊利社区学院(少数族裔学院)和杰内西社区学院的合作；(B)通过警务专员参与该中心的咨询委员会，与伊利县警察局建立伙伴关系；(C)通过当地少数群体管理协会和纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与方案以及妇女参与管理和工程与科学团体，积极让代表不足群体的学生参与进来。

This joint project between University at Buffalo (UB) and Hilbert College (HC) is expanding capacity in Information Assurance (IA) and Computer Forensics in the Western New York region via institutional faculty development as well as technical experiences for faculty. The end goal of our effort is to carve out a flexible curriculum pathway to specialize in IA and computer forensics with multiple exit points for the students depending upon their career goals. The universities are offering workshops and intensive seminars to faculty in the neighboring community colleges and universities to learn about recent advances in IA and computer forensics and (b) technical experience for faculty at UB and HC so that the IA faculty can then develop full-fledged computer forensics courses and teach them to students with hands-on experience. The project has two unique aspects. First, it draws upon the expertise from The Cyber Security Education Consortium (CSEC) at Oklahoma and involves the members of the Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (RCFL) of Western NY in this learning process. Second, it provides multiple exit points for students at the associate degree level, BS/BA level and MS/MBA level at three different colleges and universities without the need for relocating students. While the Western NY RCFL does not currently have an Honors Internship program, project leaders anticipate that it will have one in the near future - similar to all other RCFLs with an internship program (preference will be given to local students within community distance). As a multidisciplinary Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE), UB faculty members anticipate IA expansion through various disciplines ranging from computer science and engineering and mathematics to management sciences and legal/ethical studies. The broader impacts of this project include: (a) the furtherance of ongoing collaborations with two-year colleges, Erie Community College (ECC, a Minority Institution) and Genesee Community College, (b) a partnership with the Erie County Department of Police Services through the involvement of the Commissioner of Police Services on the Center's advisory board, and (c) active engagement of students from underrepresented groups through the local Minority Management Society and the SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program as well as the Women in Management and Engineering and Science groups.
