Targeted Infusion Project: Integrating Mobile Computing and Security into a Computer Science Curriculum

移动平台已变得非常受用户欢迎，也是开发者的重要平台。随着移动计算的普及，出现了新的隐私和安全问题，因为移动设备通常存储大量的个人、财务和商业数据，因此吸引了有针对性的大规模攻击。为了满足对移动计算和安全专业人员不断增长的需求，为计算机科学和其他相关学科的学生提供移动计算和安全方面的教育至关重要。北卡罗来纳农工大学该项目的总体目标是通过开发移动计算和安全方面的课程模块来满足劳动力需求。这些模块将整合到现有的计算机科学课程中，例如计算机编程、软件开发、操作系统和信息保障课程。每个课程模块都包括教程、演示幻灯片、动手实验和/或案例研究以及测试题。为了积极传播这些新课程材料，将举办两次教师夏季开发研讨会，以及针对本科生的移动编程竞赛。该项目旨在通过更新计算机科学课程以解决最先进的技术问题，从而加强北卡罗莱纳州 A&T 大学的计算机科学项目。学生将在劳动力中更具竞争力，并为移动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职业机会。该项目还将通过扩大其教育和研究项目来发展和加强大学的网络防御中心，该中心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教育材料和增加培训学生应对移动计算和安全挑战的机会。

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.
