Ensuring the security of the world's and our own nation's computers and networks is a key national challenge. A significant need exists in Delaware and northern Maryland for trained cybersecurity graduates critical to large regional employers. This Regional Cybersecurity Education Initiative, formed by the University of Delaware (UD), Delaware Technical and Community College (DTCC), and Harford Community College (HCC) along with government and industrial partners is establishing ongoing education and research collaborations that is building programmatic capacity and establishing a pipeline of graduates skilled in the theories and practices required to address these challenging Cybersecurity issues. The project is completing initiatives including: expanded Cybersecurity courses and Minor at UD producing students able to design state of the art secure software and systems, a 2+2 Program to allow 2nd year DTCC and HCC student to transfer into four year UD CIS and CPEG BS degree programs, and establishing cybersecurity outreach including an internship program, middle and high school student and teacher summer camps and bridge programs to energize and attract the next generation of Cybersecurity professionals. The program's initiatives are establishing a sustainable comprehensive approach to engaging and educating a continuous pipeline of Cybersecurity professionals. The intellectual merit of the proposed activities centers on the new discoveries that will be made possible by students, faculty, and professional partners through the unique collaborations and established creative education and outreach programs. The education and outreach activities, and the regional and national capacity needs addressed, directly represent the programmatic broader impacts.

确保世界和我们自己国家的计算机和网络的安全是一个关键的国家挑战。特拉华州和马里兰州北部急需训练有素的网络安全毕业生，这些毕业生对大型地区雇主至关重要。该区域网络安全教育计划由特拉华大学（UD）、特拉华技术和社区学院（DTCC）、哈福德社区学院（HCC）以及政府和行业合作伙伴共同发起，正在建立持续的教育和研究合作，以建立项目能力，并建立毕业生的管道，以熟练掌握解决这些具有挑战性的网络安全问题所需的理论和实践。该项目正在完成的举措包括：扩大网络安全课程和辅修课程，培养能够设计最先进的安全软件和系统的学生，2+2计划允许二年级DTCC和HCC学生转到四年制UD CIS和CPEG BS学位课程，并建立网络安全外展，包括实习计划，初高中学生和教师夏令营和桥梁计划，以激励和吸引下一代网络安全专业人员。该计划的举措是建立一个可持续的综合方法，以吸引和教育网络安全专业人员的持续管道。拟议活动的智力价值集中在新的发现上，这些发现将由学生、教师和专业伙伴通过独特的合作和建立的创造性教育和推广计划而成为可能。教育和外联活动以及解决的区域和国家能力需求直接代表了方案的更广泛影响。
