SFS: Capacity Building: Collaborative Project: Cyber-Security Education for Community College Faculty in Texas

为了增加教授网络安全内容的教师数量，德克萨斯理工大学计算机科学系和电气与计算机工程系与安吉洛州立大学安全研究和刑事司法中心合作，为西德克萨斯州社区学院的教师学者提供网络安全专业发展计划。来自西德克萨斯州社区和私立学院的30名教师学者正在参加网络安全教育研讨会，并在其家乡机构建立网络安全副学士学位和认证课程方面得到指导。 该项目通过将网络安全问题的科学和工程方面与国防和国土安全相关的管理，道德和实践方面相结合，提供了一种全面的网络安全教育方法。它还介绍了网络安全研究的最新进展，以改善网络安全教育，并探讨了各种技术研究和教育挑战。该项目正在增加具有网络安全知识的教育工作者的人数，从而对包括少数群体在内的学生产生倍增效应，为该地区的劳动力做出贡献。

To increase the number of faculty teaching cybersecurity content, the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas Tech University in partnership with the Center of Security Studies and Criminal Justice at Angelo State University are offering a professional development program in cybersecurity to community college faculty scholars across West Texas. Thirty faculty scholars from community and private colleges across West Texas are participating in a cyber-security education workshop and are mentored in the establishment of cybersecurity associate degrees and certification programs in their home institutions. The project provides a holistic approach to cybersecurity education by integrating the science and engineering aspects of cybersecurity issues with the management, ethical, and practical aspects as they relate to national defense and homeland security. It also introduces recent advances in cybersecurity research to improve cyber security education and explores various technical research and educational challenges. The project is increasing the number of educators knowledgeable in cybersecurity, resulting in a multiplying effect to students including minority groups that contribute to the workforce in the region.
