The Team for Research in Ubiquitous Secure Technology (TRUST) REU Site integrates cyber security, privacy, and trustworthy systems with science and technology education to be intellectually, socially, and politically relevant and attractive to a diverse set of participants?in particular underrepresented minorities and women. The program project is a collaborative effort led by the TRUST Science & Technology Center that has six components: (1) an eight-week summer immersion research residency; (2) a series of symposia and advising workshops targeted at recruiting undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students interested in security and privacy; (3) a novel and innovative curriculum with learning activities coupled with social interaction and fun aspects of computer science and cyber security for two-year and four-year students; (4) cyber-enabled learning environments to connect participants and researchers; (5) industry seminars and field trips to highlight research trends and career opportunities in cyber security; and (6) post-session research conference participation.Keeping information and computer systems secure is one of the country?s most formidable challenges. Daily headlines chronicle the fraud, viruses, privacy abuses, network outages, and security vulnerabilities across the spectrum of critical systems that support the nation?s financial, energy, healthcare, and transportation infrastructure. As such, technological research must consider security in a hierarchy of approaches that range from secure embedded systems to complex interdependent systems. However, creating secure, private, and trustworthy systems cannot be accomplished solely through technological means. To create secure, private, and trustworthy technology and systems requires an understanding of the relationship between the component parts and how one domain interacts with the other. Thus, there is an acute need for human resources who possess a deep understanding of the technical and non-technical foundations of STEM and trustworthy systems. In order to address this, the TRUST REU Site will blend cyberinfrastructure-enhanced discovery and learning opportunities with interdisciplinary research using the active-learning Peer-Led Team Learning approach to incorporate STEM, cyber security, and trustworthy systems science and technology concepts to create a research and education environment that will train the next generation of computer scientists and engineers who will develop new trustworthy systems.Beyond the main goal of increasing the number of women and underrepresented minorities attaining baccalaureate degrees in STEM and continuing on to graduate education and technical careers, this program will have a broader impact on the cyber security and trustworthy systems community by becoming a model for collaborative secondary education partnerships that incorporate community college and undergraduate programs within a STEM educational framework. The program will emphasize four stages of the education pipeline (Recruitment, Transfer, Retention, and Advancement) and aim to capture students early enough in the pipeline that they will consider pursuing a major or career in STEM in general and cyber security in particular. The TRUST REU Site will also demonstrate how collaborative partnerships with operational strategies that support effective and engaging learning experience can inject resources designed to stimulate interest in STEM and cyber security among female and URM community college and four-year baccalaureate students and serve as a model for cyber security and trustworthy systems research and education projects at similar institutions in the future.

在无处不在的安全技术（TRUST）REU网站的研究团队集成了网络安全，隐私和值得信赖的系统与科学和技术教育是智力，社会和政治相关和吸引力的不同的参与者？特别是代表性不足的少数群体和妇女。该计划项目是由TRUST科学技术中心领导的一项合作努力&，包括六个组成部分：（1）为期八周的暑期沉浸式研究实习;（2）一系列研讨会和咨询研讨会，旨在招募对安全和隐私感兴趣的本科科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学生;（三）一个新颖和创新的课程与学习活动，加上社会互动和计算机科学和网络安全的乐趣方面，二年制和四年制学生;（4）网络支持的学习环境，以连接参与者和研究人员;（5）行业研讨会和实地考察，以突出网络安全的研究趋势和就业机会;以及（6）会后研究会议的参与。最艰巨的挑战。每天的头条新闻都在记录支持国家的关键系统的欺诈、病毒、侵犯隐私、网络中断和安全漏洞？的金融、能源、医疗和交通基础设施。因此，技术研究必须考虑从安全的嵌入式系统到复杂的相互依赖的系统的方法层次的安全性。然而，创建安全、私密和可信的系统不能仅仅通过技术手段来实现。要创建安全、私密和值得信赖的技术和系统，需要了解组件之间的关系以及一个域如何与另一个域交互。因此，迫切需要对STEM和值得信赖的系统的技术和非技术基础有深刻理解的人力资源。为了解决这个问题，TRUST REU网站将使用积极学习的同行领导的团队学习方法，将网络基础设施增强的发现和学习机会与跨学科研究相结合，将STEM，网络安全，和可信赖的系统科学和技术概念，以创造一个研究和教育环境，培养下一代计算机科学家和工程师，他们将开发新的可信赖的系统。该计划的主要目标是增加获得STEM学士学位并继续研究生教育和技术职业的女性和代表性不足的少数民族的数量，该计划将成为合作中学教育伙伴关系的典范，从而对网络安全和值得信赖的系统社区产生更广泛的影响，将社区学院和本科课程纳入STEM教育框架。该计划将强调教育管道的四个阶段（招聘，转学，保留和晋升），旨在尽早抓住学生，使他们能够考虑在STEM和网络安全领域寻求专业或职业。TRUST REU网站还将展示如何与支持有效和引人入胜的学习体验的运营策略建立合作伙伴关系，以注入旨在激发女性和URM社区学院和四年制学士学位学生对STEM和网络安全的兴趣的资源，并作为未来类似机构的网络安全和值得信赖的系统研究和教育项目的典范。
