Targeted Infusion Project: Cybersecurity for Everybody - A Multi-Tier Approach to Cybersecurity Education, Training, and Awareness in the Undergraduate Curriculum

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）研究生课程和/或职业。该项目在南卡罗来纳州州立大学将加强计算机科学系的本科教育，以培养学生满足劳动力的需求或网络安全相关领域的高级研究。 该项目的目标是通过使用教学、实习、讲习班和研讨会，为本科生网络安全教育创建一个全机构改革的成功模式。该项目将采用多层次办法，通过发展与学术界、政府和工业界的关系，提高本科课程中的网络安全教育、培训和认识能力;开发网络安全入门普通教育课程;通过讲座、研讨会、讲习班，向中学、高中和大学教师以及公众提供网络安全问题的认识和培训，实践经验;发展网络安全的未成年人;并为参与者提供在线网络安全实验室。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) graduate programs and/or careers. The project at South Carolina State University will enhance undergraduate education in the Computer Science department to prepare students to meet the needs of the workforce or advanced studies in cybersecurity related fields. The goal of this project is to create a successful model of institution-wide reform for undergraduate cybersecurity education through the use of instruction, internships, workshops and seminars. This project will use a multi-tier approach to increase capacity in cybersecurity education, training, and awareness in the undergraduate curriculum by developing relationships with academia, government and industry; developing an introductory cybersecurity general education course; providing awareness of and training for cybersecurity issues to middle school, high school, and college teachers, and to the general public through lectures, seminars, workshops, and hands-on experiences; developing a minor in cybersecurity; and providing the participants access to an online cybersecurity laboratory. The project is guided by formative and summative evaluation.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.
