Cyber Corps Program at Polytechnic University

该项目是对理工大学现有的服务奖学金（SFS）项目的延伸。它正在利用现有的SFS计划所产生的资源和改善基础设施。该项目支持的教育计划依赖于信息保障（IA）领域的一些高质量课程，参与由教师监督的研究项目，在理工大学和暑期实习期间的实践经验，以及最先进的IA研究基础设施。该计划的毕业生将成为负责保护我国信息和技术基础设施的联邦工作队伍的宝贵成员。自2002年9月起，理工学院成为SFS项目的主办大学，截至2005年5月，已有25名学生毕业。智力优势：SFS项目的本质主要是教育。该项目利用基础设施和环境来培养高质量的信息保障专业人员，他们可以有效地保护联邦政府的信息技术基础设施。理工学院在信息保障教育方面不断创新，尤其重视学生的研究项目。这一努力提高了学生的创造性思维能力，使他们成为更好的信息保障专业人员。更广泛的影响：理工学院的SFS项目正在为联邦政府机构的职位培训信息保障专业人员。利用在该计划中获得的知识和技能，毕业生准备好迎接保护美国信息和基础设施资源的挑战。理工学院的SFS项目继续以高于理工学院学生人数的比例吸引女学生。此外，修订后的方案正在加强外联工作，以继续扩大参与。这些努力包括校友指导计划、评估和评估部分，以及与纽约市工业、政府和志愿组织的伙伴关系。

This project is extending the current Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at Polytechnic University. It is leveraging the resources and improving the infrastructure generated by the current SFS program. The project is supporting an educational program that relies on a number of high-quality courses in the area of information assurance (IA), participation in research projects supervised by faculty, hands-on experience both at Polytechnic University and during summer internships, and state of the art infrastructure for IA research. The graduates of this program are becoming valuable members of the federal work force in charge of protecting information and technological infrastructure of our country. Polytechnic has been a host University to the SFS program since September 2002 and has graduated 25 students as of May 2005. Intellectual merit: The nature of the SFS program is primarily educational. This project is using the infrastructure and environment to prepare high-quality information assurance professionals who can be effective in protecting the information technology infrastructure of the Federal government. Polytechnic is innovating in information assurance education, in particular placing a stronger emphasis on research projects by the SFS students. This effort is sharpening the students' ability for creative thinking, making them better information assurance professionals. Broader impact: The SFS program at Polytechnic is training information assurance professionals for positions in agencies of the Federal government. Using knowledge and skills obtained in the program, the graduates are well prepared to meet challenges of protecting the information and infrastructure resources of the United States. The SFS program at Polytechnic is continuing to attract female students at a higher percentage than the larger Polytechnic student population. Further, the revised program is enhancing outreach efforts to continue to broaden participation. These efforts include an alumni mentoring program, an assessment and evaluation component, and partnerships with NY city industry, government and voluntary organizations.
