项目摘要

Louisiana Tech University is a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) and Research (CAE-R) and is currently the only university in the state to hold both education and research designations. Louisiana Tech is proposing a CyberCorps(R): Scholarship for Service (SFS) program (SFS@LaTech) to prepare highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. The program proposes to support 36 SFS@LaTech Scholars to complete either a B.S. degree in Cyber Engineering or Computer Science with Cybersecurity concentration, or obtain an M.S. degree in computer science with an additional focus on information assurance. The program recruitment and selection plans are designed to attract a diverse and inclusive mix of Scholars, targeting awards for 40% of the scholarships to women and underrepresented groups in this field. The overall objective is to use the SFS@LaTech program to produce exceptionally prepared cyber professionals that can help the nation address its critical need for technical leaders in this field and build a pipeline of graduates to enter positions in government service.Louisiana Tech has in place a strong set of academic degree programs and proposed activities for the students in the SFS@LaTech program. In 2012, Louisiana Tech University established the first Bachelor of Science in Cyber Engineering degree program in the nation. The SFS@LaTech program will leverage the pioneering courses developed for this program, many of which are also available to the Computer Science majors concentrating in cybersecurity. Curricula include the Introduction to Network Security course, which culminates in an annual day-long cyber security competition called Cyber Storm. In this event, student teams compete in a cyber-ops environment where they test their skills in network defense and attack strategies. The project will also leverage Louisiana Tech's strong relationships, through its Louisiana Tech Research Institute (LTRI) and government agencies. These relationships aim to provide mentored project opportunities for SFS@LaTech scholars as well as connections to internships and full-time employment opportunities.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.

路易斯安那理工大学是网络防御教育（CAE-CDE）和研究（CAE-R）的学术卓越中心，目前是该州唯一一所同时拥有教育和研究称号的大学。路易斯安那理工大学正在提出一项CyberCorps（R）：服务奖学金（SFS）计划（SFS@LaTech），以培养高素质的网络安全专业人员进入政府工作队伍。该计划建议支持36名SFS@LaTech学者完成学士学位。网络工程或计算机科学与网络安全集中度，或获得硕士学位计算机科学学位，另外侧重于信息保障。该计划的招聘和选拔计划旨在吸引多元化和包容性的学者，目标是将40%的奖学金授予妇女和该领域代表性不足的群体。总体目标是利用SFS@LaTech计划培养出准备充分的网络专业人员，帮助国家满足对该领域技术领导者的迫切需求，并为毕业生进入政府服务岗位建立一个管道。路易斯安那理工大学为SFS@LaTech计划的学生提供了一套强大的学位课程和建议活动。2012年，路易斯安那理工大学设立了全国第一个网络工程学士学位课程。SFS@LaTech计划将利用为该计划开发的开创性课程，其中许多课程也可供专注于网络安全的计算机科学专业学生使用。课程包括网络安全入门课程，该课程在为期一天的年度网络安全竞赛中达到高潮，称为网络风暴。在这项活动中，学生团队在网络操作环境中竞争，他们在网络防御和攻击策略方面测试自己的技能。该项目还将利用路易斯安那理工大学的强大关系，通过其路易斯安那理工大学研究所（LTRI）和政府机构。这些关系旨在为SFS@LaTech学者提供指导项目机会，以及实习和全职就业机会的联系。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
