Keeping computers and information systems secure is a major challenge. Business, industry, and government need well-prepared technicians who can prevent, detect, and investigate cybersecurity breaches, and the growth of cyber-threats has created a need for many more workers who have appropriate, specific knowledge and skills. In this project, the University of Hawaii Maui College (UHMC) will build on the work of other NSF Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grantees to develop a comprehensive, industry-driven program for cybersecurity education and workforce development. The project team will recruit undergraduate students from the University of Hawaii's community colleges and other institutions where cybersecurity education is limited or nonexistent; enable the students to conduct basic cybersecurity research projects that will develop their confidence and skills for a global marketplace; expose the students to real-world cybersecurity exercises, such as the annual Pooihe Cyber Security Exercise conducted alongside the Hawaii National Guard; and train high school STEM teachers on core topics in network and computer security, so that they can bring the knowledge into their classrooms and prepare their students for career pathways in information technology and cybersecurity.The project will use problem-based learning and an online environment to educate students, community college faculty, and high school teachers from diverse backgrounds. Activities will particularly target underrepresented minorities. In particular, the project will create new cybersecurity curricula for the Internet of Things (IoT) and for the accounting, healthcare, and hospitality and tourism industries, which are important to Hawaii's economy. Outcomes will include new curricular modules that are compliant with industry standards, an increase in the number of students who enroll in cybersecurity classes and graduate with a certificate or degree in cybersecurity at UHMC, and an increase in the number of college faculty and high school teachers who teach cybersecurity topics.

保持计算机和信息系统的安全是一项重大挑战。企业、工业和政府需要准备充分的技术人员，他们可以预防、检测和调查网络安全漏洞，而网络威胁的增长也需要更多拥有适当、特定知识和技能的工作人员。在该项目中，夏威夷毛伊岛大学（UHMC）将在其他NSF高级技术教育（ATE）受赠者的工作基础上，为网络安全教育和劳动力发展开发一个全面的，行业驱动的计划。项目团队将从夏威夷大学的社区学院和其他网络安全教育有限或不存在的机构招募本科生;使学生能够进行基本的网络安全研究项目，培养他们的信心和技能。让学生接触真实世界的网络安全练习，例如与夏威夷国民警卫队一起进行的年度Pooihe网络安全演习;并对高中STEM教师进行网络和计算机安全方面的核心主题培训，这样他们就可以把知识带入课堂，为学生在信息技术和网络安全方面的职业发展做好准备。该项目将使用基于问题的学习和在线环境来教育学生，社区学院的教师，以及来自不同背景的高中教师。这些活动将特别针对代表性不足的少数群体。特别是，该项目将为物联网（IoT）以及会计，医疗保健，酒店和旅游业创建新的网络安全课程，这些行业对夏威夷的经济非常重要。成果将包括符合行业标准的新课程模块，在UHMC注册网络安全课程并获得网络安全证书或学位的学生人数增加，以及教授网络安全主题的大学教师和高中教师人数增加。
