The objective of this project is to improve the security literacy of undergraduate Computer Science (CS) students by exposing them to computer security concepts and issues in their regular course of study in CS. Faculty whose primary teaching/research focus is not security are provided support for integrating security topics into their traditional upper division CS courses and for delivering learning material through the use of a multi-faceted instructional support system: Security Knitting Kit (SecKnitKit). The goals of this project are to improve security awareness, knowledge and interest of undergraduate CS students; to improve security awareness and teaching expertise for non-security faculty; and to promote the use of security integration strategy and materials for traditional CS courses in other institutions. Development and deployment of SecKnitKit assists non-security faculty to seamlessly and effectively weave security topics into CS courses like software engineering, operating systems, networks, and database management system. The project offer professional development opportunities for twelve non-security faculty to use SecKnitKit for their CS courses at their institutions. The proposed project is based on recommendations from experts in the security education field and draws from CS pedagogy that includes the teaching experiences of the project team, and feedback and participation from project participants. Once institutionalized at TTU and other regional institutions, the proposed research can lead to follow-up collaborative research and adoption of the multi-faceted instructional support system at other higher education institutions.

这个项目的目的是提高计算机科学(CS)本科生的安全素养，让他们在计算机科学(CS)的常规课程中接触到计算机安全概念和问题。主要教学/研究重点不是安全的教师将安全主题整合到他们传统的高级CS课程中，并通过使用多方面的教学支持系统：安全编织工具包(SecKnitKit)来提供学习材料。该项目的目标是提高CS本科生的安全意识、知识和兴趣；提高非安全教师的安全意识和教学专长；以及促进在其他机构的传统CS课程中使用安全整合策略和材料。SecKnitKit的开发和部署帮助非安全教师将安全主题无缝而有效地融入软件工程、操作系统、网络和数据库管理系统等CS课程。该项目为12名非安全教员提供了专业发展机会，让他们在其机构的CS课程中使用SecKnitKit。拟议的项目基于安全教育领域专家的建议，并借鉴了CS教学法，其中包括项目团队的教学经验，以及项目参与者的反馈和参与。拟议的研究一旦在交通运输大学和其他区域机构制度化，就可以导致后续合作研究，并在其他高等教育机构采用多方面的教学支持系统。
