There is an exponential growth in the number of cyber-attack incidents resulting in significant financial loss and national security concerns. A secure cyberspace has been designated as one of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges in engineering. Broadly, security threats are targeted on software programs, operating systems and networks with the intention to launch cyber-attacks. There is a need to increase student-centered, inquiry-based teaching approaches in cybersecurity as these are known to improve student learning outcomes. A comprehensive understanding can be achieved with a hands-on course on cybersecurity, where students can learn key concepts and get hands-on experience making changes to hardware, software, operating systems, and, network policies. This project proposes a self-learning, hands-on Cybersecurity Training (CST) Kit, which will be accompanied by Do-It-Yourself training modules that can be used to model and investigate cybersecurity issues and strategies for prevention. It can be customized to a wide range of cybersecurity stakeholders, including undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 science and technology teachers, industry professionals and the community at large. This project will advance cybersecurity education among students and professionals through the use the CST Kit and training modules, which will allow students to immediately apply newly acquired knowledge as part of the learning process.The CST kit will cover all aspects of cybersecurity issues including, hardware, software, operating system and network security. A 3-tier coursework will be developed to provide cybersecurity education to Junior and Senior-level undergraduate students, graduate students and professionals. Pilot Tier-1 and Tier-2 courses will be introduced to assess the learning modules and the CST Kit. The Kit hardware and software will be customizable to allow for easy adoption in a wide range of academic and professional levels. The components of the CST Kit will be used to foster interest in cybersecurity with underrepresented and underserved students at the high school and community college level. Approaches for cybersecurity education will be enhanced by increased student engagement though the proposed Classroom Cybersecurity Challenges. The developed training modules combined with the Challenges activity will provide quality curriculum for K-12 computer science courses linking computer science and broader areas of STEM education.

网络攻击事件的数量呈指数级增长，导致重大经济损失和国家安全担忧。安全的网络空间被指定为美国国家工程院在工程方面的重大挑战之一。总的来说，安全威胁的目标是软件程序、操作系统和网络，目的是发动网络攻击。有必要在网络安全领域增加以学生为中心的探究式教学方法，因为众所周知，这些方法可以改善学生的学习结果。通过网络安全实践课程，学生可以学习关键概念并获得更改硬件、软件、操作系统和网络策略的实践经验，从而全面了解网络安全。该项目提出了一个自学、动手的网络安全培训(CST)工具包，其中将附带可用于模拟和调查网络安全问题和预防策略的DIY培训模块。它可以为广泛的网络安全利益相关者定制，包括本科生和研究生、K-12科学和技术教师、行业专业人员和整个社区。该项目将通过使用CST工具包和培训模块在学生和专业人员中推进网络安全教育，使学生能够立即应用新获得的知识作为学习过程的一部分。CST工具包将涵盖网络安全问题的方方面面，包括硬件、软件、操作系统和网络安全。将开发一个三级课程，为初三和高级本科生、研究生和专业人员提供网络安全教育。将引入试行的Tier-1和Tier-2课程，以评估学习模块和CST套件。套件的硬件和软件将可定制，以便在广泛的学术和专业水平上轻松采用。CST工具包的组成部分将用于培养高中和社区大学一级代表不足和服务不足的学生对网络安全的兴趣。网络安全教育的方法将通过增加学生的参与度而得到加强，尽管拟议的课堂网络安全挑战。编制的培训模块与挑战活动相结合，将为K-12计算机科学课程提供优质课程，将计算机科学与更广泛的STEM教育领域联系起来。
