This capacity building project seeks to addresses the lack of opportunities for students for experiential learning of Cybersecurity. Although there is no overall shortage of labs anymore, many instructors do not feel comfortable using them in their courses. This project has a potential to help many instructors to provide hands-on learning opportunities to their students. The project is based on the 30 SEED labs, which were developed and tested by the PI over the last ten years and are used by over 150 instructors from 26 countries. These labs cover a wide spectrum of security principles and they have proven to be effective in enhancing student learning. The project will also develop new labs to cover a timely topic in Cybersecurity education: security in mobile computing. The NSF's CyberCorps® SFS program funds projects that address cybersecurity education and workforce development. The Scholarship Track provides funding to award scholarships to students in cybersecurity. In return for their scholarships, recipients will work after graduation for a Federal, State, Local, or Tribal Government organization in a position related to cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the scholarship. The Capacity Track seeks innovative proposals leading to an increase in the ability of the United States higher education enterprise to produce cybersecurity professionals. There are two specific objectives of this project: 1) to dramatically increase the number of users of the SEED labs by organizing several summer workshops with about 30 participants each and by developing free online course modules, one for each lab, using one of the existing Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) platforms; and 2) to develop new hands-on labs to address security of mobile devices which have introduced their unique Cybersecurity problems. The ultimate goal of this project is to make a transformative impact on academic institutions offering Cybersecurity courses. The project sets its goal to reach 700 schools, or about 15 percent of all universities and colleges in the United States. This will create a strong community that will carry the objectives of this project far beyond its expiration date. The project will also cultivate the integration of education and research in the area of mobile system security. The proposed Mobi-SEED labs are derived from the cutting-edge research projects on mobile-system security.

这一能力建设项目旨在解决学生缺乏网络安全体验式学习的机会。尽管实验室不再全面短缺，但许多教师对在课程中使用它们感到不舒服。这个项目有可能帮助许多教师为他们的学生提供实践学习的机会。该项目以30个种子实验室为基础，这些实验室是由国际和平研究所在过去十年中开发和测试的，有来自26个国家的150多名教师使用。这些实验涵盖了广泛的安全原则，事实证明它们在增强学生学习方面是有效的。该项目还将开发新的实验室，以涵盖网络安全教育中的一个及时主题：移动计算的安全。NSF的CyberCorps®SFS计划为解决网络安全教育和劳动力发展的项目提供资金。奖学金项目提供资金，为网络安全专业的学生提供奖学金。作为奖学金的回报，获奖者毕业后将在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织中与网络安全有关的职位工作一段相当于奖学金期限的时间。能力轨道寻求创新建议，以提高美国高等教育企业培养网络安全专业人员的能力。该项目有两个具体目标：1)通过组织几个夏季研讨会，每个约30人，并利用现有的大型在线开放课程(MOOC)平台之一，为每个实验室开发一个免费在线课程模块，大幅增加SEED实验室的用户数量；以及2)开发新的动手实验室，以解决移动设备带来的独特网络安全问题。该项目的最终目标是对提供网络安全课程的学术机构产生变革性的影响。该项目的目标是覆盖700所学校，约占美国所有大学和学院的15%。这将创建一个强大的社区，使该项目的目标远远超过其到期日。该项目还将在移动系统安全领域培育教育和研究的融合。拟议的Mobi-Seed实验室源于移动系统安全方面的尖端研究项目。
