PISCES 2010: Partnership in Securing Cyberspace Through Education and Service

通过教育和服务保护网络空间伙伴关系(PISCES 2010)奖学金计划为具有不同背景的学生提供成为计算机安全和信息保障(CSIA)专业人员的机会。双鱼座位于乔治华盛顿大学(GW)。智力优势：乔治华盛顿大学在CSIA领域有超过25门课程。利用传统的计算实验室资源和新开发的资源，如乔治华盛顿大学开发的便携式教育网络(盒子中的互联网)，学生们可以亲身体验CSIA教育的前沿，以及CSIA技术和政策方面的世界专家的讲座。除了他们现有的培养具有CSIA问题和机制知识、设计和构建安全信息系统的技术专长以及能够应用其技术专长的全球社会和伦理背景的毕业生的记录外，GW还计划增加另一个目标：在未来的SFS学生、现有的SFS学生和已经完成项目并继续为联邦政府工作的SFS学生之间建立一个同行和接近同行的指导网络。更广泛的影响：通过该奖学金计划资助的学生有助于提高正在培养的联邦技术和管理干部的质量，并提供利用个人和专业关系的经验和网络机会。此外，通过乔治华盛顿大学、马里蒙特大学和夏威夷大学之间的伙伴关系，双鱼座2010积极招募和支持来自低收入家庭和CSIA其他传统上代表性不足的群体的学生。

The Partnership in Securing Cyberspace Through Education and Service (PISCES 2010) scholarship program provides opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds to become computer security and information assurance (CSIA) professionals. PISCES is based at The George Washington University (GW).Intellectual Merit: GW has over 25 courses in the area of CSIA. Using traditional computing lab resources along with newly-developed resources such the portable educational network (the Internet in a box) developed at GW, students are exposed to hands-on demonstrations and experience on the cutting edge of CSIA education and to lectures by world experts in technological and policy aspects of CSIA. In addition to their existing track record of producing graduates with knowledge of CSIA issues and mechanisms, technical expertise to design and build secure information systems, and a global societal and ethical context within which to apply their technical expertise, GW plan to add another objective: establishing a peer and near-peer mentoring network among prospective SFS students, current SFS students and SFS students who have already completed the program and gone on to work for the federal government. Broader Impact: Students supported through this scholarship program help to improve the quality of the federal technical and management cadre being built and provide experiential and networking opportunities to leverage personal and professional relationships. In addition, through partnerships among GW, Marymount University, and the University of Hawaii, PISCES 2010 actively recruits and supports students from low-income families and other traditionally under-represented groups in CSIA.
