Given the imbalance between the demand for cybersecurity professionals and the supply provided by the nation's higher education enterprise, there is an expectation of rapid growth in the number of cybersecurity-related academic programs in the near future. The proposed project will take important steps towards defining comprehensive curricular standards for cybersecurity education and its outcomes can potentially transform cybersecurity education in the US and internationally. The project includes the full participation of academia, government and industry stakeholders throughout the development process and in key leadership roles. It also recognizes that the development of a strong cybersecurity workforce is a global concern and the project invites global contributions to curriculum development efforts.The Cyber Education Project (CEP) was started in 2014 with the dual goals of(1)establishing curricular guidelines for undergraduate cybersecurity programs that are endorsed by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society; and 2)developing discipline-specific criteria that would lead to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Cyber Sciences accreditation. The work to be performed through this proposal addresses mostly the first goal - it will establish curricular guidelines for cybersecurity undergraduate programs that are endorsed by major global computing associations - but it will also inform the ABET accreditation process. The activities and deliverables will include organization of the International Security Education Workshop in June 2016 and disseminating the associated workshop report; a curricular volume providing guidelines for cybersecurity undergraduate programs; and roadmaps to guide the implementation of the curricular guidance for a range of constituency groups. The project plans for broad community engagement across the range of academic constituencies - to include computing disciplines, social and behavioral science disciplines, and applied content areas. It will also provide a continuous formative assessment and adjustment throughout the curriculum development process.

鉴于对网络安全专业人员的需求与国家高等教育企业提供的供应之间的不平衡，期望在不久的将来，与网络安全相关的学术计划的数量迅速增长。拟议的项目将采取重要步骤来定义网络安全教育的全面课程标准，其成果可能会改变美国和国际的网络安全教育。该项目包括学术界，政府和行业利益相关者在整个发展过程中以及关键领导角色的全面参与。 It also recognizes that the development of a strong cybersecurity workforce is a global concern and the project invites global contributions to curriculum development efforts.The Cyber​​ Education Project (CEP) was started in 2014 with the dual goals of(1)establishing curricular guidelines for undergraduate cybersecurity programs that are endorsed by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE Computer Society; 2）制定纪律特定标准，这将导致工程和技术（ABET）网络科学认证的认证委员会。通过该提案进行的工作主要解决了第一个目标 - 它将为网络安全本科课程建立课程准则，并获得了主要全球计算协会认可的认可 - 但它也将为Abet认证过程提供信息。活动和可交付成果将包括2016年6月的国际安全教育研讨会的组织以及传播相关的研讨会报告；课程量为网络安全本科课程提供指南；和路线图以指导针对一系列选区组的课程指导实施。该项目计划在学术选区范围内进行广泛的社区参与 - 包括计算学科，社会和行为科学学科以及应用内容领域。它还将在整个课程开发过程中提供连续的形成性评估和调整。
