RET Site in Cyber Security

这笔资金建立了一个新的CISE教师研究经验（RET）网站，专注于达科他州立大学的网络安全。 该网站将为南达科他州的在职高中计算机教师提供多样化的人才库，并提供进行网络安全前沿研究的优质体验。 教师将开发基于研究的材料和活动，他们将在学年期间纳入他们的课程。 国家中学计算课程将更新，以包括网络安全和外联将进行，以达到广泛的受众的教师和学生在国家。 该网站由刺激竞争研究的实验计划（EPSCoR）计划共同资助。 这个项目的智力价值在于强大的研究基础和教师的专业知识。该项目团队在教育应用和K-12学校推广方面具有重要的相关研究和经验。这些项目所涉及的研究领域属于国家优先领域，也是教师和学生感兴趣的领域。该项目也有可能通过开发，实施和测试将网络安全注入中学计算课程的材料和方法，为计算机科学教育学科做出重大贡献。该项目更广泛的影响包括为教师提供优质的研究体验，并将健全的教学模式纳入K-12学校。该项目包括许多活动和外联工作，这些活动和外联工作应影响到一个在地理上有些孤立并被不同人口所包围的地区。该项目有可能在大学和学校之间建立可持续的伙伴关系，为社区提供持久的利益。

This funding establishes a new CISE Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site focused on cyber security at the Dakota State University. The site will provide a diverse pool of in-service high school computer teachers in South Dakota with a quality experience conducting cutting-edge research in cyber security. The teachers will develop research based materials and activities which they will incorporate into their classes during the academic year. State secondary computing curricula will be updated to include cyber security and outreach will be conducted to reach a wide audience of teachers and students within the state. This site is co-funded by the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Program. The intellectual merit of this project lies in strong research basis and the expertise of the faculty. The project team has significant related research and experience in educational applications and K-12 school outreach. The projects are in research areas that are in an area of national priority and of interest to teachers and their students. The project also has the potential to make a significant contribution to the discipline of computer science education through the development, implementation, and testing of materials and methods for infusing cyber security into the secondary computing curriculum. The broader impacts of the project include providing a quality research experience to teachers and the incorporation of sound instructional models into the K-12 schools. The project includes many activities and outreach efforts that should impact an area that is somewhat geographically isolated and that is surrounded by a diverse population. The project has the potential to create a sustainable partnership between the university and schools that can provide long-lasting benefits to the community.
