PISCES-S: Partnership in Securing Cyberspace through Education and Service

该计划为具有不同背景的学生提供机会，成为计算机安全和信息保障（CSIA）专业人员，并帮助保护我们国家信息基础设施的安全。教授是国际公认的CSIA专家，其中一些人有超过30年的教学经验，并培养了CSIA培训的毕业生，他们在这个项目中教育学生。利用传统的计算实验室资源以及新开发的资源，如战斗实验室，学生将接触到CSIA教育前沿的动手演示和经验，这符合美国国家安全局指定的信息保障教育学术卓越中心（CAE/IAE），如乔治华盛顿大学（GW）。在这项提案中，乔治华盛顿大学将与加劳德特大学和玛丽蒙特大学合作，将CSIA的教育机会扩大到华盛顿特区的公民，并通过华盛顿大都会地区大学联盟的11名成员，利用CSIA的优势和可获得性为学生提供课程。这种伙伴关系还扩大了传统上代表性不足的群体在CSIA中的参与。加劳德特大学是世界上唯一一所将聋人、重听人和听力正常的学生和教师聚集在一起共同追求教育的大学。1986年以前，玛丽蒙特大学是一所女子学院，现在是一所男女同校的文理学院，女性占学生总数的70%。

This program provides opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds to become Computer Security and Information Assurance (CSIA) professionals and to help protect the safety and security of our nation's information infrastructure. Professors who are internationally recognized specialists in CSIA, some of whom have over thirty years experience teaching this material and producing graduates trained in the CSIA, educate students in this program. Using traditional computing lab resources along with newly developed resources such as a battle lab, students will be exposed to hands-on demonstrations and experience that are on the cutting edge of CSIA education, as befits an NSA-designated Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE) such as The George Washington University (GW). In this proposal, GW is partnering with Gallaudet University and Marymount University to expand CSIA education opportunities to citizens of the Washington DC area and to capitalize on the strength and accessibility of courses available to students through the eleven-member Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. This partnership also broadens the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in CSIA. Gallaudet is the world's only university that brings together deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students and faculty in the common pursuit of education. Marymount, until 1986 a women's college, is now a coeducational liberal arts institution with women making up 70% of its students.
