Collaborative Project: Completing a Center of Excellence in Information

目前，芝加哥没有大学被指定为信息保障教育卓越中心（COE/IAE）。该提案旨在为伊利诺伊理工学院成为美国第三大城市的第一个COE/IAE提供必要的支持。为了确保我们不重新发明轮子，该提案是与密西西比州立大学的合作努力，这所学校被公认为创新的COE/IAE，过去在协助其他大学建立COE/IAE项目方面有经验。本项目实现了以下主要变化：1.将信息安全的重点课程迁移到本科课程中.修改现有的密码学研究生课程，使其也适用于本科生。修改现有的本科课程在操作系统，数据库系统，信息检索，数据挖掘，网络，软件工程和计算机伦理，包括信息安全和信息意识的主题。使用最近为其他课程开发的新评估方法，评估所有这些课程，以确保它们达到目标。

At present, there are no universities in Chicago that are designated as a Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education (COE/IAE). This proposal is designed to provide the necessary support for the Illinois Institute of Technology to become the first COE/IAE in the third largest city in the United States. To ensure that we do not reinvent the wheel, the proposal is a collaborative effort with Mississippi State University, a school well recognized as an innovative COE/IAE with past experience in assisting other universities in establishing COE/IAE programs. This project implements the following key changes:1. Migrate a key course on information security to the undergraduate program.2. Modify existing graduate-level course on Cryptography so that it will also be suitable for undergraduates.3. Modify existing undergraduate courses in operating systems, database systems, information retrieval, data mining, networking, software engineering, and computer ethics to include information security and information awareness topics.4. Evaluate all of these courses to ensure they are meeting objectives, using a new evaluation methodology recently developed for other courses.
