Collaborative Research: A Partnership for Developing the IA Workforce

丹佛大学(DU)和哥伦比亚特区大学(UDC)的这一合作项目旨在开发UDC的教师专业知识和课程，以便UDC可以寻求国家安全局的信息保障教育学术卓越中心(CAEIAE)称号。杜军担任机构导师的角色，并协助UDC制定申请CAEIAE所必需的课程、课程和研究计划。该项目利用了杜克大学广泛的在线和远程学习能力，通过这些能力，杜克大学的学生可以参加杜克大学的夜校课程，并将学分转移到杜克大学。该项目还通过合作教学和研究经验，提高了杜克大学信息保障教育的质量。杜克大学的毕业生在杜克大学的研究生工作将得到特别考虑。该项目增加了信息保障领域高才干、高资质的女性和非裔美国人毕业生的数量，从而满足了有文件证明的国家重要性的需求。

This collaborative project between the University of Denver (DU) and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) seeks to develop faculty expertise and curricula at UDC so that UDC may seek the Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAEIAE) designation from the National Security Agency. DU is assuming the role institutional mentor and is assisting UDC in the development of courses, curriculum and research programs that are necessary for UDC's application for CAEIAE designation. The project makes use of DU extensive on-line and distance learning capabilities through which UDC students can take night classes from DU that transfer for credit to UDC. The project also enhances the quality of the information assurance education at DU through collaborative teaching and research experiences. Graduates from UDC are given special consideration for graduate work at DU. This project increases the number of highly talented and highly qualified female and African-American graduates in the information assurance field, thus addressing a need of documented national importance.
