National and personal security have become major concerns as we continue to increase our reliance on technological advancements. The growth of innovation must mirror the expansion of trained professionals. The University of Maryland (UMD), a National Security Agency - Center of Academic Excellence in Research (CAE-R), proposes to lead the challenge of educating the next cyber workforce through the creation of the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES) Program, the first undergraduate honors program in cybersecurity in the United States. The CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at UMD will provide a unique opportunity for 36 ACES students earn their Bachelor's degree with an ACES Minor in cybersecurity, and prepare them to join the cadre of cybersecurity professionals in the government.The ACES program aims to provide a unique, multidisciplinary education for a diverse group of undergraduate students of all majors. The curriculum will allow students to live together, use embedded, state-of-the-art laboratories, and work collaboratively inside and outside the classroom. In addition to fulfilling rigorous, required coursework in topics such as Cyber Policy, Psychology, and Reverse Engineering, ACES strongly emphasizes experiential learning by providing opportunities for individual and group research projects, as well as academic term and summer internships. In local middle and high schools, students will have an opportunity to work in CyberPatriot teams and participate in CyberSTEM summer camps (day and residential) and cybersecurity awareness workshops. The SFS program will enhance the university's goal of training a workforce with a range of talents, backgrounds, and expertise that can meet the cybersecurity needs of the government.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着我们不断增加对技术进步的依赖，国家和个人安全已成为主要问题。创新的增长必须反映训练有素的专业人员的扩展。马里兰大学 (UMD) 是国家安全局学术卓越研究中心 (CAE-R)，提议通过创建学生高级网络安全体验 (ACES) 计划来引领教育下一代网络劳动力的挑战，这是美国第一个网络安全本科荣誉计划。 UMD 的 Cyber​​Corps(R)：服务奖学金 (SFS) 计划将为 36 名 ACES 学生提供独特的机会，让他们获得网络安全 ACES 辅修学士学位，并为他们加入政府网络安全专业人员队伍做好准备。ACES 计划旨在为各专业的多元化本科生群体提供独特的多学科教育。该课程将允许学生一起生活，使用最先进的嵌入式实验室，并在课堂内外进行协作。除了完成网络政策、心理学和逆向工程等严格的必修课程外，ACES 还通过为个人和团体研究项目以及学期和暑期实习提供机会，大力强调体验式学习。在当地初中和高中，学生将有机会在 Cyber​​Patriot 团队中工作，并参加 Cyber​​STEM 夏令营（日间和住宿）和网络安全意识研讨会。 SFS 计划将增强大学的目标，即培养具有各种才能、背景和专业知识的劳动力，以满足政府的网络安全需求。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
