SFS: Capacity Building: Cybersecurity Education Across Disciplines with Focus on Minorities and Women

夏威夷大学毛伊岛学院（UHMC）CyberEd项目将解决小企业和农村社区未能满足新兴网络安全领域当前培训、教育和准备的担忧。 UHMC将通过新的跨学科课程和课程模块加强其网络安全教育计划，这些课程和模块将嵌入各种学科的现有课程和课程中。 CyberEd项目将针对居住在夏威夷毛伊岛县农村地区的学生和教职员工，他们没有现成的机会接触高技术，以及妇女、少数民族和能够向广大学生传播培训的大学教师。该项目将重点关注对小企业未来所有者或员工至关重要的网络安全问题，他们通常依靠自己的技能和能力来预防和防范网络犯罪。 该项目将满足夏威夷州毛伊岛县的需要，毛伊岛县是联邦政府指定的农村地区。将开发的学习环境将使用现实世界的问题作为基于项目的场景，并将由国家在信息保障和网络防御方面的核心知识和技能指导。课程将以模块化的形式设计，以促进与其他教育机构，企业/行业和政府利益相关者在网络防御方面的沟通和合作。 该项目的一个主要特点是培训从会计到医疗保健等各个学科的大学教师。 暑期网络研讨会将汇集教师和学生了解网络安全问题和挑战，并将准备他们传播他们的学习和教育的同学，同龄人和周围的社区。 这些讲习班的参与者将成为各自教学领域的导师和教练，并在其课程模块中促进网络安全。形成性/总结性评估过程将包括基于特定评估标准的持续、短期、中期和长期评估活动。该标准将涵盖参与该项目的广大参与者，包括高中和大学生、研究生、高中教师、大学教师、农村技术人员和成人学习者。 项目评价员将酌情利用实地访问，以确保评估和评价进程产生有意义的结果。

The University of Hawaii Maui College (UHMC) CyberEd project will address the concern that the current training, education, and readiness in the emerging realm of cybersecurity is not being met by small businesses and in rural communities. UHMC will enhance its cybersecurity education program through new cross-disciplinary courses and course modules that will be embedded in existing courses and curriculum in a variety of disciplines. The CyberEd project will target students and faculty who live in rural areas in Maui County, Hawaii, who do not have ready access to high technology, as well as women, minorities, and college instructors who are in a position to disseminate training to a wide selection of students. The project will focus on cyber security issues that are critical for future owners or employees of small businesses, who usually rely on their own skills and capabilities to prevent and protect against cybercrime. This project will meet the needs of Maui County, in the State of Hawaii, a federally designated rural area. The learning environments that will be developed will use real-world problems as project-based scenarios and will be guided by the national articulated core knowledge and skills in information assurance and cyber defense. The curricula will be designed in a modular format to facilitate communication and partnership with other educational institutions, businesses/industries and governmental stakeholders in cyber defense. A key feature of the project will be the training of college faculty from a variety of disciplines ranging from accounting to healthcare. Summer cyber workshops will bring together faculty and students to learn about cybersecurity issues and challenges, and will prepare them to disseminate their learning and education to fellow students, peers and the surrounding community. The participants in these workshops will become mentors and coaches in their own fields of instruction and promote cybersecurity within their course modules.The project will be evaluated on an ongoing basis for rigor, relevance and effectiveness. The formative/summative assessment process will include ongoing, short, mid, and longterm evaluation exercises based on specific evaluation criteria. The criteria will cover the wide section of participants involved in this project including high school and college students, research students, high school teachers, college faculty, rural technicians and adult learners. The project evaluator will utilize site visits, as appropriate, to ensure that the assessment and evaluation process produces meaningful results.
