Renewal: CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service Program at Stevens

该项目旨在继续史蒂文斯理工学院参与CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）计划，为进入政府工作队伍准备高素质的网络安全专业人员。自2003年以来，史蒂文斯一直被指定为信息保障教育学术卓越中心，自2008年以来，史蒂文斯提供了广泛的以网络安全为重点的学位课程-从高技术课程到面向软件保障，安全工程，隐私，道德或风险管理方面的更广泛的课程。拟议的项目将增加三个关键的创新组成部分：（a）通过教师指导的网络安全独立研究项目，所有学者的研究参与;（B）通过领导力，项目管理，创新和创业的短期课程，为所有学者发展"软技能";以及（c）在史蒂文斯和三州地区的社区学院之间实施网络安全教育的新途径。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。奖学金轨道提供资金，以奖励奖学金给学生在网络安全。作为奖学金的回报，获奖者将在毕业后为联邦，州，地方或部落政府组织工作，从事与网络安全相关的职位，时间与奖学金的长度相等。能力跟踪寻求创新的建议，导致美国高等教育企业培养网络安全专业人员的能力的提高。到目前为止，史蒂文斯CyberCorps® SFS奖学金项目已经为11名学者提供了资金，其中包括史蒂文斯和联合县社区学院之间的试点计划授予的两个奖学金。大约40%的学生属于传统上在计算科学中代表性不足的人口统计群体。此外，拟议的计划包括从2年制大学到史蒂文斯，其成功的结果将作为其他机构的典范途径的实施。史蒂文斯CyberCorps® SFS学者将在该领域的进步和发展的最前沿。他们将参加一个双周学者研究研讨会，有两个组成部分：网络安全教师介绍他们的研究和学者提供自己的研究更新，从硬件为重点的安全，量子密码学，网络和软件安全，隐私和安全的经济方面。

This project seeks to continue Stevens Institute of Technology participation in the CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly-qualified Cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. Holding the designation as Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education since 2003 and Center of Academic excellence in Information Assurance Research since 2008, Stevens offers a wide range of Cybersecurity-focused degree programs - ranging from highly technical programs to broader curricula geared toward software assurance, security engineering, privacy, ethics, or risk management aspects. The proposed project will add three key innovative components: (a) research engagement of all scholars through faculty-guided independent study projects in Cybersecurity; (b) development of "soft skills" for all scholars through short courses in leadership, project management, innovation and entrepreneurship; and (c) implementation of a novel pathway in Cybersecurity education between Stevens and community colleges in the tri-state area. 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.To date, the Stevens CyberCorps® SFS scholarship project has provided funds for 11 scholars, including two scholarships awarded in the context of a pilot program between Stevens and Union County Community College. About 40% of students belong to demographic groups that have traditionally been under-represented in the computing sciences. Furthermore, the proposed program includes the implementation of a pathway from 2-year colleges into Stevens, whose successful outcome would serve as a model for other institutions. Stevens CyberCorps® SFS Scholars will be at the forefront of advances and developments in the field. They will participate in a bi-weekly scholar research seminar with two components: Cybersecurity faculty presenting on their research and scholars giving an update on their own research spanning from hardware-focused security, quantum cryptography, network and software security, to privacy and economic aspects of security.
