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.

该项目旨在继续让史蒂文斯理工学院参与 Cyber​​Corps®：服务奖学金 (SFS) 计划，为进入政府劳动力队伍培养高素质网络安全专业人员。史蒂文斯自 2003 年起被指定为信息保障教育学术卓越中心，自 2008 年起被指定为信息保障研究学术卓越中心，提供各种以网络安全为重点的学位课程 - 从高科技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课程。拟议的项目将增加三个关键的创新组成部分：（a）所有学者通过教师指导的网络安全独立研究项目参与研究； (b) 通过领导力、项目管理、创新和创业方面的短期课程，培养所有学者的"软技能"； (c) 在史蒂文斯和三州地区的社区大学之间实施网络安全教育的新途径。 NSF 的 Cyber​​Corps® SFS 计划资助解决网络安全教育和劳动力发展的项目。奖学金途径提供资金，向网络安全专业的学生颁发奖学金。作为获得奖学金的回报，获奖者毕业后将在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织中担任与网络安全相关的职位，工作期限等于奖学金的期限。能力轨道寻求创新提案，以提高美国高等教育企业培养网络安全专业人员的能力。迄今为止，史蒂文斯 Cyber​​Corps® SFS 奖学金项目已为 11 名学者提供资金，其中包括在史蒂文斯和联合县社区学院试点项目背景下颁发的两项奖学金。大约 40% 的学生属于传统上在计算科学领域代表性不足的群体。此外，拟议的计划还包括实施从两年制大学到史蒂文斯大学的衔接课程，其成功成果将为其他机构树立榜样。 Stevens Cyber​​Corps® SFS 学者将走在该领域进步和发展的最前沿。他们将参加每两周一次的学者研究研讨会，该研讨会由两个部分组成：网络安全教师介绍他们的研究，学者们介绍他们自己的研究最新情况，涵盖以硬件为中心的安全、量子密码学、网络和软件安全，到安全的隐私和经济方面。
