Expansion and Enhancement of the Mississippi State University Information Assurance Program

该项目继续了密歇根州立大学与杰克逊州立大学在信息保证教育方面的合作，并通过合作和合作，启动了与塔斯基吉大学(TU和JSU都是HBCU)的类似合作。该项目支持将信息保障教学能力整合到已确定的两个机构中，并加强密歇根州立大学的CAE/IAE计划。此外，还与密西西比州总检察长办公室建立了取证支持的合作伙伴关系，该办公室在这笔赠款的支持下扩大了范围。该项目继续努力在联合技术大学和技术大学开发IA课程，期望联合技术大学在2004-2005学年考虑CAE/IAE地位的申请，在2005-2006学年考虑技术大学的申请。TU和JSU都同意与密歇根州立大学合作开发信息保证服务，他们各自的PI已经与密歇根州立大学的教职员工建立了关系。本提案中描述的合作努力意在有利于三方不仅在两所目前没有IA课程的大学开发IA课程，而且通过扩大研究努力、增加少数族裔在其博士课程中的代表性以及增强其教学课程内容来加强密歇根大学的课程。

This project continues MSU's collaboration in information assurance education with Jackson State University and initiates a similar collaboration with Tuskegee University (TU and JSU are both HBCU's) though a collaborative and cooperative effort. The project supports integration of an information assurance instructional capability into the two institutions identified and strengthens the CAE/IAE program at MSU. Additionally, a partnership is in place for Forensics support with Mississippi's State Attorney General's Office, which expands with support from this grant. This project continues work to develop an IA curriculum at both JSU and TU with an expectation of JSU considering application for CAE/IAE status during academic year 2004-2005 and TU during 2005-2006. Both TU and JSU have agreed to work with MSU in developing information assurance offerings and their respective PI's have established relationships with the faculty at MSU. The partnership efforts described in this proposal are intended to be beneficial to all three parties in not only developing an IA program at two universities that currently do not have one, but also in strengthening the program at MSU by broadening its research effort, increasing minority representation in its PhD program, and by enhancing its instructional course content.
