Multi-Disciplinary Preparation of Next Generation Information Assurance Practitioners - Renewal

东北大学是信息保障教育和研究的学术卓越中心。它也是国家安全局最近指定的四所学校之一，作为网络行动学术卓越中心。在过去的三年里，东北大学已经培养了20名SFS学生。所有的毕业生都被安置在联邦政府和联邦资助的研究和发展中心的职位。该计划的独特之处之一是该计划中学生的多样性。在20名学生中，5名是计算机科学，6名是电气和计算机工程，9名是信息保障。这些学生来自不同的背景，从政治学和刑事司法到计算机科学和工程。该大学以其国家认可的合作教育，有能力吸引和教育网络安全方面的优秀学生。东北大学的SFS计划成功地招募了一批代表性不足的学生，并致力于在未来的招聘中保持这种多样性。东北大学还通过领导“夺旗”和“大学网络防御”竞赛，以及积极参与新英格兰高级网络安全中心（一个由学术界、工业界和政府实体组成的组织），向更广泛的社区伸出援手。

Northeastern University is a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and Research. It is also one of the four schools recently designated by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations. Northeastern has produced 20 SFS students over the past 3 years. All of the graduates are placed in positions within the Federal Government and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers. One of the unique elements of the program is the diversity of students in the program. Of the 20 students, 5 are in Computer Science, 6 are in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and 9 are in Information Assurance. These students come with different backgrounds that vary from political science and criminal justice to computer science and engineering. The University, with its nationally-recognized Cooperative Education, is well-positioned to attract and educate strong students in cybersecurity. The SFS program at Northeastern succeeds in recruiting a diverse group of under-represented students to the program, and is committed to sustaining this level of diversity in future recruiting. Northeastern University is also reaching out to the broader community by leading Capture-the-Flag and Collegiate Cyber Defense competitions, and by actively participating in the New England Advanced Cyber Security Center, an organization composed of academia, industry, and government entities.
