Arizona State University (ASU), a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education/Cyber Defense (CAE IA/CD), proposes to continue and expand its participation in the CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. A distinguished faculty and a well-funded research program in information and systems assurance, together with a well-balanced cybersecurity curriculum, result in SFS graduates that match the needs of the Federal government and the public. The PIs support a diverse Federal workforce by placing a special emphasis on recruiting and graduating highly talented students from underrepresented groups as well as students transferred from community colleges. ASU has established a strong curriculum in information assurance with emphasis on trustworthiness, security and forensics involving information systems and networks. Ten cybersecurity courses in computer science and engineering, and additional six courses in other disciplines, including electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mathematics and information systems are regularly offered. In 2015, ASU was re-designated as a CAE IA/CD with five focus areas: data management systems security, digital forensics, network security engineering, secure cloud computing, and secure software development. The proposed SFS program aims to meet the Federal government's critical need for cybersecurity professionals by graduating a cadre of undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D. students, and providing the necessary mentoring and support to place them in Federal agencies and laboratories. The program continues to strengthen cybersecurity activities through improvement of the academic programs, extracurricular activities emphasizing hands-on experiences, leadership development through collaborative work and community service, outreach activities, and extensive interactions with Federal laboratories and agencies. Collaborative research and educational activities, and communication skills development are strongly emphasized. The program also supports student organizations and peer mentoring.

亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）是信息保障教育/网络防御（CAE IA/CD）的国家学术卓越中心，建议继续并扩大其在CyberCorps（R）服务奖学金（SFS）计划中的参与，以准备高素质的网络安全专业人员进入政府工作队伍。杰出的教师和资金充足的信息和系统保证研究计划，以及平衡的网络安全课程，导致SFS毕业生符合联邦政府和公众的需求。PI支持多元化的联邦劳动力，特别强调从代表性不足的群体中招募和毕业有才华的学生以及从社区学院转学的学生。亚利桑那州立大学建立了一个强大的信息保证课程，重点是涉及信息系统和网络的可信度，安全性和取证。定期提供计算机科学和工程方面的10门网络安全课程，以及电气工程、工业工程、数学和信息系统等其他学科的另外6门课程。2015年，ASU被重新指定为CAE IA/CD，有五个重点领域：数据管理系统安全，数字取证，网络安全工程，安全云计算和安全软件开发。拟议的SFS计划旨在通过毕业本科，硕士和博士的干部，以满足联邦政府对网络安全专业人员的迫切需求。学生，并提供必要的指导和支持，把他们在联邦机构和实验室。该计划继续通过改进学术课程，课外活动，强调实践经验，通过协作工作和社区服务，外展活动以及与联邦实验室和机构的广泛互动来加强网络安全活动。大力强调合作研究和教育活动以及沟通技能的发展。该计划还支持学生组织和同行指导。
