SFS: Preparing Crosscutting Cybersecurity Scholars

该项目旨在在罗切斯特理工学院（RIT）建立一个新的CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，为进入联邦、州、地方和部落政府工作的高素质网络安全专业人员做好准备。罗切斯特理工学院计划为就读于计算安全、计算机科学和软件工程本科课程的优秀学生提供CyberCorps奖学金。这些学生将在毕业后获得计算安全硕士学位以及各自课程的学士学位。该提案旨在利用成熟的计算安全，计算机科学和软件工程课程来教育下一代网络安全专业人员，并为来自多个学科的学生创造独特的队列体验。它将允许学生从不同的角度学习网络安全，同时通过共享经验将它们统一起来：共同的课程，每月研讨会，研究项目工作，以及参加安全会议。CyberCorps奖学金要求将建立在RIT完善的本科合作教育（co-op）模式基础上。该提案利用RIT？的基础设施，多样化的计划，教师资源和行业/军事关系，以支持有兴趣从事网络安全职业的合格候选人。RIT的SFS毕业生将成为政府网络安全劳动力的一部分。他们的学术贡献将在与网络安全有关的专业会议上传播。PI将在教育和联邦环境的适当场所（如CISSE座谈会或NICE会议）讨论运行该网络军团计划的经验教训。PI和SFS学者将访问罗切斯特市的学校，那里有大量的计算代表性不足的群体。学生学者将提高对网络安全威胁的认识，并教学生如何保持在线安全的基本技能。

This project seeks to establish a new CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to prepare highly-qualified Cybersecurity professionals for entry into the federal, state, local, and tribal government workforce.Rochester Institute of Technology plans to provide CyberCorps scholarships to talented students enrolled in undergraduate programs in Computing Security, Computer Science, and Software Engineering. These students will receive an MS degree in Computing Security in addition to a BS in their respective programs upon graduation. This proposal aims to leverage the well-established Computing Security, Computer Science, and Software Engineering programs to educate next generation cybersecurity professionals and to create a unique cohort experience of students from multiple disciplines. It will allow students to learn cybersecurity from different perspectives while unifying them by shared experience: common coursework, monthly seminars, work on research projects, and travel to security conferences. CyberCorps scholarship requirement will build on RIT's well-established undergraduate cooperative education (co-op) model. This proposal leverages RIT?s infrastructure, diverse programs, faculty resources, and industry/military relationships to support a pool of qualified candidates who are interested in pursuing careers in cybersecurity. RIT's SFS graduates will become part of the government cybersecurity workforce. Their scholarly contributions will be disseminated at professional conferences related to cybersecurity. The PIs will discuss lessons learned in running this CyberCorps program at appropriate venues in educational and federal settings such as CISSE Colloquium or NICE conferences. The PIs and the SFS scholars will visit the City of Rochester schools with a large population of underrepresented groups in computing. Student scholars will increase awareness of cybersecurity threats and teach students basic skills how to stay safe online.
