Three universities, North Carolina A & T State University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, are collaboratively developing faculty expertise in information assurance (IA) and computer security through two faculty development workshops. Covering two years, the workshops involve thirty-six faculty members from two-year, four-year, and minority colleges and universities. The workshops are helping participants to integrate IA labs and case studies into the curricula at the participants' home institutions. The workshops are designed to increase the faculty members' expertise and their home institution's capacity to produce a diverse workforce in the area of information assurance. Personalized instruction plans and follow-up assistance are provided to faculty participants. Besides building faculty expertise, the project is improving partnerships in information assurance education. This project is improving overall information security and critical infrastructure protection in the U.S. by producing a larger and more diverse IA workforce with better IA skills. The curriculum materials disseminated through the workshops can be adopted across multiple disciplines such as computer science, software engineering, information technology and business, and are being made available to a broader audience through conferences, publication, and a dedicated website. The project is building a community of security education experts across multiple disciplines. Broad coverage of IA topics and the introduction of innovative teaching techniques are attracting faculty participants with diverse backgrounds.

三所大学，北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学，北卡罗来纳州大学夏洛特，和田纳西大学查塔努加，正在合作发展教师的专业知识，在信息保障（IA）和计算机安全通过两个教师发展研讨会。为期两年，研讨会涉及来自两年制，四年制和少数民族学院和大学的36名教师。 这些讲习班正在帮助参加者将综合评估实验室和案例研究纳入参加者所在机构的课程。这些研讨会旨在提高教职员工的专业知识及其所在机构在信息保证领域培养多元化劳动力的能力。 个性化的教学计划和后续援助提供给教师参与者。除了培养教师的专业知识，该项目正在改善信息保障教育的伙伴关系。该项目通过培养具有更好IA技能的更大、更多样化的IA员工队伍，提高了美国的整体信息安全和关键基础设施保护。 通过讲习班传播的课程材料可以在计算机科学、软件工程、信息技术和商业等多个学科中采用，并通过会议、出版物和专门网站向更广泛的受众提供。 该项目正在建立一个跨多个学科的安全教育专家社区。IA主题的广泛覆盖和创新教学技术的引入吸引了具有不同背景的教师参与者。
