Building Cyber Security Capacity in Two Year and Four Year Colleges

纽约理工大学(NYU-Poly)的这个项目正在培训一批为期两年和四年的网络安全教员。这些教师是从城市中心城区招募的，这些城市有社会多元化、经济上处于不利地位和代表性不足的学生，他们参加了为期六周的暑期网络安全强化课程，并与纽约大学保利分校的导师一起参与了正在进行的尖端网络安全研究项目。该计划为教师提供从暑期研讨会的知识获取开始的经验弧形，在研究项目中应用和整合知识，在课堂上传播这些知识，指导他们的学生团队参加捕捉国旗挑战，最后是他们在由纽约大学-保利举办的吸引数千名学生的国家捕捉国旗挑战中的经验高潮。教师发展和磨练他们的研究、沟通和演示技能，这对他们的专业成长和成功至关重要。这些教师被介绍到一个关键的国家需求的主题，并指导他们开发和提供课程，这些课程反过来向他们的学生介绍网络安全的概念和挑战。项目团队正在通过竞赛和TeachEngineering数字图书馆传播项目结果，供其他人采用。

This project at the Polytechnic University of New York (NYU-Poly) is training a cadre of two-year and four-year faculty in cyber security. The faculty, who are recruited from urban inner-cities with socially diverse, economically disadvantaged, and underrepresented students, engage in an intensive six-week summer cyber-security course and also participate in on-going, cutting-edge cyber-security research projects with their mentors from NYU-Poly. The program provides the faculty with arc of experience starting from knowledge acquisition in the summer workshop, application and integration of the knowledge in a research project, transmission of this knowledge as they teach their classes, mentoring of their student teams for the Capture the Flag challenge, and finally the culmination of their experience in the national Capture the Flag challenge conducted by NYU-Poly that attracts thousands of students. Faculty develop and hone their research, communication, and presentation skills, which are critical to their professional growth and success. The faculty are introduced to a topic of critical national need and mentored to develop and offer courses that, in turn, introduce their students to concepts and challenges in cyber security. The project team is disseminating the results of project through the competitions and the TeachEngineering digital library, for adoption by others.
