Collaborative Research: CyberWorkshops: Resources and Strategies for Teaching Cybersecurity in Computer Science (CReST)

网络工作室：计算机科学中网络安全教学的资源和策略(CREST)这个项目是田纳西理工大学和道森大学的合作项目。该项目团队将通过提高教师在网络安全方面的专业知识来解决网络安全劳动力问题。这将通过为计算机科学系举办的一系列研讨会来实现，这些研讨会将由网络安全系教授。这些研讨会将为教师提供教学资源，并为他们将网络安全概念纳入课程做好准备。该项目将由研究生教育司通过CyberCorps：SFS计划提供资金。该项目团队仿照成功的高中CS教师Tapestry项目(在弗吉尼亚大学开发)，通过在全国各地举办一系列研讨会，将发展一个具有技能和资源的培训者社区，为计算机科学教师组织专业发展研讨会。CREST研讨会参与者和网络安全教师将分享安全集成战略、基于研究的实践和经过现场测试的安全资源。在这一项目范围内，讲习班将侧重于传播作为安全注射@Towson和SecKnitKit项目一部分编制的课程材料。该项目还将促进安全教师开发的其他有效安全教育资源在全国范围内的传播。这一直接影响将在CS教师之间建立一个教学安全社区，并显著提高教师对安全编码概念的认识和理解。这将导致拥有网络安全知识和技能的学生数量增加，提高学生应用安全编码原则的能力，并提高学生对软件工程、数据库、网络和操作系统等计算机科学核心学科的安全问题的认识。项目评估将包括研讨会前和研讨会后的调查、研讨会的观察和所有研讨会参与者的汇总。

CyberWorkshops: Resources and Strategies for Teaching Cybersecurity in Computer Science (CReST)This project is a collaboration between Tennessee Tech University and Towson University. The project team will address cybersecurity workforce issues by improving faculty expertise in cybersecurity. This will be accomplished by a series of workshops for computer science faculty that will be taught by cybersecurity faculty. The workshops will provide faculty with teaching resources and prepare them to incorporate cybersecurity concepts into their courses. The project will be funded by the Division of Graduate Education through the Cybercorps:SFS program.Modelled after the successful Tapestry project for high school CS teachers (developed at the University of Virginia), through a series of workshops across the nation, the project team will develop a community of trainers (faculty in cybersecurity) with skills and resources to organize professional development workshops for computer science faculty. CReST workshop participants and cybersecurity faculty will share security integration strategies, research-based practices, and field-tested security resources. In the context of this project, workshops will focus on dissemination of course materials developed as part of the Security Injections @ Towson and the SecKnitKit projects. The project will also facilitate dissemination of other effective security educational resources developed by security faculty across nation. The direct effect will build a community among CS faculty teaching security and significantly increase faculty awareness and understanding of secure coding concepts. This will lead to an increase in the number of students with cybersecurity knowledge and skills, increase student ability to apply secure coding principles , and increase student awareness of security issues in core computer science subject matters such as software engineering, database, networks and operating systems. Project evaluation will include pre-workshop and post-workshop surveys, workshop observations, and aggregation across all workshop participants.
