Information Science and Systems (33) This project establishes the Information Assurance Excellence Program (IAEP) to address the need for Information Assurance specialists in federal government agencies. The program creates a long-term recruitment pipeline that includes recruiting students on campus, creating agreements with community colleges, and providing early exposure for high school students. In addition to enrolling in courses as a cohort, the Scholars engage in professional and career development activities in which they deliver technical workshops and have opportunities to engage in discussions with practicing professionals. They participate in technology competitions and they work on research projects.The evaluation of the program components and its overall effectiveness contributes to the body of knowledge and best practice strategies for successful recruitment, mentorship, retention and placement of Information Assurance professionals. This program emphasizes practice. Under the mentorship of experienced faculty and alumni IA professionals, IAEP students are required to work in applied activities beyond the classroom. Specific requirements include the dissemination of skills based learning in the form of presentations and workshops, peer outreach to community colleges and high schools, and participation in regional IA competitions.IAEP recruitment efforts focus on attracting a diverse range of applicants from CSUSB and community colleges, many of whom are likely to be students from underrepresented groups. By offering mentoring and support to increase the scholarly abilities of these future professionals, and by maintaining these support mechanisms throughout their internships and in their ultimate placement, the program experiences little attrition. The results of the program form a replicable model that can be disseminated to other participating Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance colleges and universities.

信息科学与系统 (33) 该项目建立了信息保障卓越计划 (IAEP)，以满足联邦政府机构对信息保障专家的需求。该计划创建了一个长期的招聘渠道，包括在校园招收学生、与社区大学签订协议以及为高中生提供早期接触机会。除了作为一个群体报名课程外，学者们还参与专业和职业发展活动，在这些活动中他们举办技术研讨会，并有机会与执业专业人士进行讨论。他们参加技术竞赛并从事研究项目。对计划组成部分及其整体有效性的评估有助于为信息保障专业人员的成功招聘、指导、保留和安置提供知识体系和最佳实践策略。该计划强调实践。在经验丰富的教师和校友 IA 专业人士的指导下，IAEP 学生需要从事课堂以外的应用活动。具体要求包括以演讲和研讨会的形式传播基于技能的学习、向社区大学和高中进行同行推广以及参加地区 IA 竞赛。IAEP 的招聘工作重点是吸引来自 CSUSB 和社区大学的各类申请者，其中许多人可能是来自代表性不足群体的学生。通过提供指导和支持来提高这些未来专业人士的学术能力，并在他们的整个实习期间和最终安置过程中维持这些支持机制，该项目几乎没有经历过人员流失。该计划的结果形成了一个可复制的模型，可以传播到其他参与的信息保障学院和大学学术卓越中心。
