Collaborative Research: CyberWorkshops: Resources and Strategies for Teaching Cybersecurity in Computer Science (CReST)

网络工作坊：计算机科学网络安全教学的资源和策略（CReST）这个项目是田纳西理工大学和陶森大学的合作项目。项目团队将通过提高教师在网络安全方面的专业知识来解决网络安全劳动力问题。这将通过计算机科学学院的一系列研讨会来完成，这些研讨会将由网络安全学院教授。这些研讨会将为教师提供教学资源，并为他们将网络安全概念纳入课程做好准备。该项目将由研究生教育司通过赛博部队：SFS计划资助。以成功的高中计算机科学教师Tapestry项目（弗吉尼亚大学开发）为蓝本，通过全国范围内的一系列研讨会，项目团队将开发一个培训师（网络安全教师）社区，他们拥有技能和资源，为计算机科学教师组织专业发展研讨会。CReST研讨会的参与者和网络安全教员将分享安全集成策略、基于研究的实践和经过现场测试的安全资源。在这个项目的背景下，讲习班将侧重于传播作为Towson安全注射和SecKnitKit项目的一部分而开发的课程材料。该项目还将促进安全学院开发的其他有效安全教育资源在全国范围内的传播。直接效果将在CS教师之间建立一个安全教学社区，并显著提高教师对安全编码概念的认识和理解。这将导致拥有网络安全知识和技能的学生人数的增加，提高学生应用安全编码原则的能力，并提高学生对核心计算机科学学科（如软件工程、数据库、网络和操作系统）安全问题的认识。项目评估将包括研讨会前和研讨会后的调查、研讨会观察和所有研讨会参与者的汇总。

CyberWorkshops: Resources and Strategies for Teaching Cybersecurity in Computer Science (CReST)This project is a collaboration between Tennessee Tech University and Towson University. The project team will address cybersecurity workforce issues by improving faculty expertise in cybersecurity. This will be accomplished by a series of workshops for computer science faculty that will be taught by cybersecurity faculty. The workshops will provide faculty with teaching resources and prepare them to incorporate cybersecurity concepts into their courses. The project will be funded by the Division of Graduate Education through the Cybercorps:SFS program.Modelled after the successful Tapestry project for high school CS teachers (developed at the University of Virginia), through a series of workshops across the nation, the project team will develop a community of trainers (faculty in cybersecurity) with skills and resources to organize professional development workshops for computer science faculty. CReST workshop participants and cybersecurity faculty will share security integration strategies, research-based practices, and field-tested security resources. In the context of this project, workshops will focus on dissemination of course materials developed as part of the Security Injections @ Towson and the SecKnitKit projects. The project will also facilitate dissemination of other effective security educational resources developed by security faculty across nation. The direct effect will build a community among CS faculty teaching security and significantly increase faculty awareness and understanding of secure coding concepts. This will lead to an increase in the number of students with cybersecurity knowledge and skills, increase student ability to apply secure coding principles , and increase student awareness of security issues in core computer science subject matters such as software engineering, database, networks and operating systems. Project evaluation will include pre-workshop and post-workshop surveys, workshop observations, and aggregation across all workshop participants.
