NJIT Secure Computing Initiative

该提案将在新泽西理工学院（NJIT）启动一个名为“安全计算倡议”（SCI）的CyberCorps®：服务奖学金（SFS）项目。提出了一种新的网络安全教育模式，该模式结合了四个主要特征：(1)灵活的网络安全课程；(2)体验式学习；(3)研究性学习；(4)多层次指导。这种模式要求资助学生参与课堂内和课外的学习活动。此外，它将传统课程中获得的强大理论知识与项目课程中获得的动手实践技能相交织。作为新泽西理工大学的一部分？该项目将建立一个SFS实验室，以实现基于研究的学习。一个由学院支持的博士生团队将指导sfs资助的硕士和学士学生。作为指导过程的一部分，学生将从安全审查咨询委员会获得建议，该委员会由新泽西理工大学的行政人员组成，他们在以前的职业生涯中都经历过审查过程。董事会成员将帮助学生了解审批流程，并在他们完成审批过程时提供帮助。项目组会和新泽西理工大学合作吗？’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’CDS培养并保持了与政府机构的长期合作关系，获得了很高的长期职位安置率，以及实习和合作机会。SCI计划旨在满足国家对网络安全专家的需求，在促进学习的同时加强发现，并增加妇女和代表性不足的群体对网络安全的参与。SCI还将产生科学成果和公开可用的软件，以帮助国家更好地抵御新的网络威胁。许多拟议的活动涉及与公众接触，并且容易使社会对网络安全的重要性敏感。拓展活动还包括针对高中生的网络安全教育充实计划。

This proposal will inaugurate a CyberCorps®: Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) under the name Secure Computing Initiative (SCI). It proposes a novel cyber-security education model that combines four main features: (1) flexible cyber-security curricula; (2) experiential learning; (3) research-based learning; and (4) multi-tier mentoring. This model requires the funded students to participate in both in-class and out-of-class learning activities. In addition, it interleaves strong theoretical knowledge acquired in traditional courses with hands-on practical skills acquired in project-based courses. As part of the NJIT?s Cybersecurity Research Center, the project will establish an SFS lab to enable research-based learning. A team of PhD students, supported by the college, will mentor the SFS-funded MS and BS students. As part of the mentoring process, students will get an advice from the Security Clearance Advisory Board composed of NJIT administrative staff members who went through the clearance process during their previous careers. The board members will help the students understand the clearance process and also assist them when they are going through the process. The project team will work with NJIT?s Career Development Services (CDS) to achieve 100% placement for the SFS students. CDS has nurtured and maintained a long term relationship with governmental agencies and achieved high rates of placement for permanent positions as well as internships and coop opportunities.The SCI program is designed to fulfill the national needs for cyber-security experts, to enhance discovery while promoting learning, and to increase the participation of women and under-represented groups in cybersecurity. SCI will also produce scientific results and publicly available software that will help the nation better protect against new cyber threats. Many of the proposed activities involve contact with the general public, and are prone to sensitize the society to the importance of cybersecurity. The outreach activities also include an enrichment program for high school students that focuses on cybersecurity education.
