Tennessee State University's Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Vertical Integration of Concepts, Laboratory Experiences and Research Training in Cyber Security across the Undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science Curriculum - is a joint initiative between the Departments of Computer Science (CS) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The project fosters interdisciplinary research and education in cyber security. The project vertically integrates concepts, laboratory experiences and research training in cyber security across the undergraduate CS and ECE programs, thus enhancing the CS and ECE curricula and increasing research opportunities for undergraduate students. Vertical integration refers to a series of laboratory exercises in a given topical area that starts as well-structured experiments at the lower levels and proceeds as increasingly complex open-ended design projects at upper levels of the curriculum.The objectives of the project are to 1) offer vertically integrated curricular material in coursework and research training opportunities to cyber security scholars; 2) strengthen the CS and ECE programs by the infusion of vertically integrated multi-year curricular material; and 3) strengthen the university's ongoing undergraduate and outreach programs in science, technology, mathematics and engineering by the availability of education, research and facilities targeted to cyber security.Considering the rapid market growth of cyber security and a critical shortage of qualified cyber security engineers, the focus of this project is a significant step in training future system designers with a strong appreciation for the complexity, implementation and performance evaluation of cyber security technologies. This project addresses the under-representation of African Americans in the cyber security workforce and in competitive cyber security graduate programs.

田纳西州立大学的有针对性的注入项目题为-垂直整合的概念，实验室经验和研究培训在网络安全跨本科电气和计算机工程和计算机科学课程-是计算机科学（CS）和电气和计算机工程（ECE）部门之间的联合倡议。该项目促进网络安全的跨学科研究和教育。该项目垂直整合概念，实验室经验和研究培训在整个本科CS和ECE课程的网络安全，从而提高CS和ECE课程，并增加本科生的研究机会。垂直整合是指在特定主题领域的一系列实验练习，从较低层次的结构良好的实验开始，到较高层次的课程中越来越复杂的开放式设计项目。该项目的目标是：1）为网络安全学者提供垂直整合的课程材料和研究培训机会; 2）通过纵向整合多年课程材料的注入，加强CS和ECE计划;以及3）通过提供教育，加强大学在科学，技术，数学和工程方面正在进行的本科和推广计划，针对网络安全的研究和设施。考虑到网络安全市场的快速增长和合格的网络安全工程师的严重短缺，该项目的重点是在培训未来的系统设计人员方面迈出重要的一步，这些设计人员对网络安全技术的复杂性、实施和性能评估有着深刻的理解。该项目解决了非裔美国人在网络安全劳动力和竞争性网络安全研究生课程中的代表性不足问题。
