This project is expanding the capacity of the Iowa State University (ISU) SFS Cyber Corps program. Designated by the National Security Agency as a charter Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education, ISU further recognizes the importance of the information assurance (IA) field by supporting a new IA Center on campus. Through this project, ISU is continuing participation in the NSF SFS program. IA education and research faculty from the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Political Science, Mathematics, Educational Leadership, and Logistics, Operations, and Management Information Systems are leading the interdisciplinary Cyber Corps program. Thirty students, comprising two cohort groups of five undergraduate and 10 graduate students, are working closely with the faculty to receive IA training, conduct research, and develop as leaders and team members. Undergraduate students are completing IA graduate courses as electives during the junior and senior years and are involved in the research of the ISU IA Center, thus augmenting their B.S. degrees with the skills needed to contribute more meaningfully to the IA profession. Graduate students are completing IA courses and developing deeper problem-solving skills through more in-depth research efforts and involvement with major professors. All students are participating with their respective cohorts for two full years in the unique and critical component of the ISU SFS program: leadership, teamwork and professionalism development.Through the expanded SFS program, ISU is developing a year-round recruiting plan with special emphasis on increasing the number of participants from underrepresented groups, further enhancing the selection process, supporting the strong student cohort experience, increasing the scope of mentoring for students, more systematically involving all students in IA research, and employing additional measures of program success. Intellectual Merit. The ISU SFS program is providing the federal workforce with new professionals who have the capacity to address the problems of securing critical federal information infrastructure in innovative ways, preparing professionals to serve as worthy team members and leaders, contributing to the IA knowledge base by enhancing several ISU research programs that address important issues including intrusion detection systems, network security, data privacy and security, dependable systems and networks, and security policy and commerce, and enhancing educational capacity of the IA security education programs.Broader Impact. The ISU SFS program is continuing to benefit society by providing the federal workforce with increased numbers of IA professionals who apply best practices in their technical fields and who engage in lifelong technical, intellectual, leadership and citizenship development. Involving students in research projects and immersing them in leadership, teamwork and professional development throughout their entire Cyber Corps experience is providing the opportunity for students to have a broader impact on society before leaving the university through required IA service-learning projects.

该项目正在扩大爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) SFS Cyber​​ Corps 项目的能力。 ISU 被国家安全局指定为信息保障教育学术卓越特许中心，通过支持校园内新的 IA 中心，进一步认识到信息保障 (IA) 领域的重要性。通过该项目，ISU 继续参与 NSF SFS 计划。来自电气和计算机工程系、计算机科学系、政治学系、数学系、教育领导力系、物流系、运营系和管理信息系统系的 IA 教育和研究人员正在领导跨学科的网络军团项目。 30 名学生（由 5 名本科生和 10 名研究生组成的两组）正在与教师密切合作，接受 IA 培训、开展研究并发展成为领导者和团队成员。本科生在大三和大四期间完成 IA 研究生课程作为选修课，并参与 ISU IA 中心的研究，从而增强他们的理学士学位。拥有为 IA 职业做出更有意义的贡献所需的技能的学位。研究生正在完成 IA 课程，并通过更深入的研究工作和与主要教授的接触来培养更深入的解决问题的技能。所有学生都将与各自的班级一起参加为期两年的 ISU SFS 项目独特而关键的组成部分：领导力、团队合作和专业精神发展。通过扩大的 SFS 项目，ISU 正在制定全年招生计划，特别强调增加来自代表性不足群体的参与者数量，进一步加强选拔过程，支持丰富的学生群体经验，扩大对学生的指导范围，更系统地让所有学生参与 IA 研究，并采用额外的项目成功衡量标准。智力优点。 ISU SFS 计划正在为联邦劳动力提供新的专业人员，他们有能力以创新的方式解决保护关键联邦信息基础设施的问题，培养专业人员成为有价值的团队成员和领导者，通过增强以下几个方面为 IA 知识库做出贡献： ISU 研究项目解决重要问题，包括入侵检测系统、网络安全、数据隐私和安全、可靠系统和网络、安全政策和商业，并增强 IA 安全教育项目的教育能力。更广泛的影响。 ISU SFS 计划通过为联邦劳动力提供更多数量的 IA 专业人员，继续造福社会，这些专业人员在其技术领域应用最佳实践，并从事终身技术、智力、领导力和公民发展。让学生参与研究项目，并在整个网络军团经历中让他们沉浸在领导力、团队合作和专业发展中，为学生提供了在离开大学之前通过所需的 IA 服务学习项目对社会产生更广泛影响的机会。
