Integrating Cybersecurity with Undergraduate IT Programs

将网络安全与本科 IT 课程相结合

基本信息

项目摘要

Cybersecurity has become a matter of national and global importance because of the economy's dependence on the Internet, and on cyber-infrastructure. Workforce development through cyber education and training are key towards protecting the ever-growing cyberspace and cyberinfrastructure. However, US universities are not graduating nearly sufficient workforce in the IT areas, let alone cybersecurity. Academic programs in STEM and IT fields are uniquely positioned to address this need. Tailoring curricula in these areas to include cyber education can bridge the gap existing between the demand and supply of trained workforce. Existing certificate programs do not offer a data analytics perspective along with a software security and network security perspective for undergraduate curricula. In addition, the existing certificates are not seamlessly integrated with the existing curriculum towards a bachelor?s degree. This project is motivated to fill this gap.The key objective of this project is to increase the capacity in the cybersecurity workforce by creating, delivering and assessing a new undergraduate certificate program in cybersecurity. This will include developing a model curriculum and material for undergraduate cyber education grounded on the pedagogical literature. In addition, this project will design and develop intervention strategies using peer mentoring between advanced cybersecurity courses and an entry level Information Systems course. This will provide a framework for learning and retention through peer mentoring, early intervention strategies, group engagement, critical thinking through capstone projects, and individualized learning of deeper issues in cybersecurity through one-on-one interactions with faculty. A certificate program will be designed to increase interest in cyber education as well as increase retention and completion of the program by undergraduate students. The project will also include qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the effectiveness of the certificate program. The certificate program will (a) Develop skills in technical, analytical, software security, and critical thinking, (b) Allow students to apply the knowledge gained to projects that simulate real-life problems, (c) Nurture and support innovative thinking in solving some of the key challenges facing the cyber world, (d) Expose students to various career opportunities in the cyber industry and connect them with relevant professional groups, and (e) Increase the cybersecurity workforce capacity to support this pervasive area with a growing importance in society. The certificate program will result in products and outcomes that can be used as a model for adoption in other undergraduate curricula in computing.
由于经济对互联网和网络基础设施的依赖,网络安全已成为国家和全球的重要问题。通过网络教育和培训发展劳动力是保护不断增长的网络空间和网络基础设施的关键。然而,美国大学在IT领域的毕业生数量还远远不够,更不用说网络安全了。STEM和IT领域的学术课程具有独特的优势来满足这一需求。调整这些领域的课程,使之包括网络教育,可以弥合训练有素的劳动力供求之间存在的差距。现有的证书课程不提供数据分析的角度沿着与软件安全和网络安全的角度为本科课程。此外,现有的证书没有无缝集成与现有的课程走向学士学位?的程度。该项目旨在填补这一空白。该项目的主要目标是通过创建,交付和评估新的网络安全本科证书课程来提高网络安全劳动力的能力。这将包括在教学文献的基础上为大学生网络教育制定示范课程和材料。此外,该项目将设计和制定干预战略,利用高级网络安全课程和入门级信息系统课程之间的同行指导。这将提供一个框架,通过同伴指导,早期干预策略,小组参与,通过顶点项目进行批判性思维,以及通过与教师一对一的互动,对网络安全中更深层次问题进行个性化学习,来进行学习和保留。一个证书课程将被设计为增加对网络教育的兴趣,以及增加本科生对该课程的保留和完成。该项目还将包括对证书计划的有效性进行定性和定量评估。证书课程将(a)培养技术,分析,软件安全和批判性思维的技能,(B)允许学生将获得的知识应用于模拟现实生活中的问题的项目,(c)培养和支持创新思维,解决网络世界面临的一些关键挑战,(d)让学生接触网络行业的各种职业机会,并使他们与相关专业团体建立联系,(e)提高网络安全工作人员的能力,以支持这一在社会中日益重要的普遍领域。该证书课程将产生的产品和成果,可以作为一个模型,采用在其他本科课程的计算。
