Mobile platforms have become extremely popular among users and an important platform for developers. New privacy and security issues arise with the prevalence of mobile computing since mobile devices often store tremendous amount of personal, financial and commercial data, and therefore attract both targeted and mass-scale attacks. To meet the growing demand for mobile computing and security professionals, it is vitally important to provide education in mobile computing and security to students in computer science and other related disciplines. The overall goal of the project at North Carolina A&T University is to address this workforce need by developing course modules in mobile computing and security. The modules will be integrated into existing Computer Science courses such as computer programming, software development, operating systems, and information assurance courses. Each course module includes a tutorial, presentation slides, hands-on labs and/or case studies, and test questions. To actively disseminate these new course materials, two faculty summer development workshops will be offered, as well as a mobile programming contest for undergraduate students.This project seeks to strengthen the Computer Science program at North Carolina A&T University by updating the Computer Science curriculum to address state-of-art technology. Students will be more competitive in the workforce and well-prepared for graduate studies in the areas of mobile computing and security. Therefore, this project will increase the education and career opportunities of African American students. This project will also develop and strengthen the University's Center for Cyber Defense, a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education designated by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, by expanding its education and research programs. Societal benefits of this project include increased educational materials and improved opportunities for training students to address mobile computing and security challenges.

移动的平台已经在用户中变得非常流行，并且是开发者的重要平台。随着移动的计算的普及，出现了新的隐私和安全问题，因为移动的设备通常存储大量的个人、金融和商业数据，因此吸引有针对性的和大规模的攻击。为了满足对移动的计算和安全专业人员日益增长的需求，为计算机科学和其他相关学科的学生提供移动的计算和安全教育至关重要。该项目在北卡罗来纳州A T大学的总体目标是通过开发移动的计算和安全课程模块来满足这一劳动力需求。这些模块将被整合到现有的计算机科学课程，如计算机编程，软件开发，操作系统和信息保证课程。每个课程模块包括教程、演示幻灯片、动手实验和/或案例研究以及测试问题。为了积极传播这些新的课程材料，将提供两个教师夏季开发研讨会，以及本科生移动的编程比赛。这个项目旨在加强计算机科学课程在北卡罗来纳州AT大学更新计算机科学课程，以解决国家的最先进的技术。学生将在劳动力中更具竞争力，并为移动的计算和安全领域的研究生学习做好充分准备。因此，该项目将增加非裔美国学生的教育和就业机会。该项目还将通过扩大其教育和研究计划，发展和加强大学的网络防御中心，这是国家安全局和国土安全部指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心。该项目的社会效益包括增加了教材，增加了培训学生应对移动的计算和安全挑战的机会。
