The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) seeks to establish a CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program producing approximately ten SFS students per year for government service to help secure, protect and defend our Nation's information systems. UAH's SFS Program spans engineering, science and business administration, giving students options to choose a technical direction of most interest to them. The University, a Carnegie Foundation Very High Research Activity University, is located adjacent to government and Department of Defense organizations at Redstone Arsenal. Recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities is a priority for the Program. The Program introduces Information Assurance (IA) topics into the curriculum from the freshman experience through graduate work. The IA topics are introduced in the context of specific courses, such as database systems and operating systems. Many of the courses include practical experiences to provide students with real-world learning opportunities. The Program is supported by a network security lab in the Department of Computer Science, a Safety and Security Lab in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and a Digital Forensics Lab in the College of Business. An active learning philosophy is used during laboratory activities to help students acquire and retain skills. Research opportunities include security of big data, industrial control system security, cybersecurity business processes, safety, aviation security, digital forensics, and automotive security.

位于亨茨维尔的亚拉巴马大学（UAH）寻求建立一个CyberCorps（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，每年为政府服务提供大约10名SFS学生，以帮助保护，保护和捍卫我们国家的信息系统。 UAH的SFS计划涵盖工程，科学和工商管理，让学生选择他们最感兴趣的技术方向。 该大学是卡内基基金会非常高的研究活动大学，毗邻政府和国防部组织在红石兵工厂。 招聘妇女和代表性不足的少数民族是该方案的优先事项。 该计划将信息保障（IA）主题引入课程，从大一到研究生工作。 IA主题是在特定课程的背景下介绍的，例如数据库系统和操作系统。 许多课程包括实践经验，为学生提供真实世界的学习机会。 该计划由计算机科学系的网络安全实验室，电气和计算机工程系的安全和安全实验室以及商学院的数字取证实验室提供支持。 在实验室活动中使用积极的学习理念，以帮助学生获得和保留技能。 研究机会包括大数据安全，工业控制系统安全，网络安全业务流程，安全，航空安全，数字取证和汽车安全。
