Delivering Effective Cybersecurity Through Modernization!
-
Our Goals
The goals of the NSF Cybercorps is to,
i) develop a tested approach for modernizing the nation's traditional computer science degree programs to incorporate cyber threats awareness and cybersecurity knowledge and skills;
ii) enhance faculty and curricular development in cybersecurity;
iii) update labs and course materials for other small colleges and universities to adopt
iv) expand academia-industry collaboration;
v) increase opportunities for students to pursue professional careers in cybersecurity.

The project will establish collaboration with cybersecurity and educational professionals
to sustain effective development and evaluation of course modules, courses, and degree programs.
In addition, it will investigate NSF-funded programs and other resources to create an inventory of available course materials,
hands-on labs, and degree program information to support Cyber Defense education.
Further, the project will devise a plan to effectively integrate cybersecurity education into the existing programs by engaging
educators in a variety of programs, and analyze the potential impact of the planned changes on existing program accreditations.
The approach will seek to engage undergraduate and graduate students in various aspects of the proposed project.
As a result, this project will produce a rigorous and adoptable approach of modernizing a traditional computer program
to meet the nation's need for educating more capable cybersecurity professionals.
