Computer and Network Forensics Capacity Building

该项目开发了计算机/网络取证课程，将新课程、与合作组织的实践经验和计算机科学研究紧密结合在一起。这些新课程在学术计算机科学和计算机/网络取证中遇到的实际/法律/社会问题方面对计算机科学本科生进行教育。这些课程的不同版本也将在URI继续教育计划中教授给从业者。该项目包括面向计算机科学专业和未成年人的取证科学辅修课程，计算机科学硕士学位课程的轨道，专业证书课程，以及在从事计算机/网络取证业务的合作伙伴的实习机会。它还建立了一个教学和研究实验室，学生和教职员工可以在这里解决计算机/网络取证中尚未解决的问题。从该项目毕业的信息保障专业人员为该领域带来了急需的技术理解广度。该项目包括从该项目向其他学校传播新颖的计算机/网络取证课程模式和课程材料，以便他们可以将取证纳入其IA课程。

This project develops a computer/network forensics curriculum that tightly integrates new courses, practical experience with partner organizations, and computer science research. The new courses educate computer science undergraduates in both academic computer science and in the practical/legal/social issues encountered in computer/network forensics. Versions of these courses will also be taught to practitioners in the URI Continuing Education Program. The project includes a Forensics Science Minor for computer science majors and minors, a track in the computer science Master's degree program, and a professional certificate program, as well as internships at partner that practice computer/network forensics. It also establishes a teaching and research lab where students and faculty address unsolved problems in computer/network forensics. The information assurance professionals graduating from this program bring much-needed breadth in technical understanding to the field. The project includes dissemination of the novel computer/network forensics curriculum model and course materials from this project to other schools so they can include forensics in their IA program.
