Computer Science (31) This project uses the case study teaching method traditionally used effectively in medicine, business and law into the relatively new information assurance (IA) area to enhance IA education. This approach improves student learning by integrating classroom experiences with real world applications; trains students to be IA professionals with key skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and teamwork; prepares students to be life long learners; attracts students to IA career and increases student retention in IA studies. The primary goal of this project is developing new case study course materials and methods to support the wide adoption of the case study teaching approach in undergraduate IA education and to enhance IA education nationwide. The course materials and case teaching methods that are developed can be utilized in a variety of disciplines such as computer science, software engineering, information technology, and information management systems. Twelve case studies in four selected areas (network security, security management, web security, and application security) are developed. Different methods in which cases can be effectively used in the classroom are explored. These case studies are used in various courses and their impact on student learning is assessed. Two workshops are offered, which train faculty members to use these materials.

计算机科学（31）该项目使用传统上在医学，商业和法律中有效使用的案例研究教学方法将相对较新的信息保证（IA）领域用于增强IA教育。这种方法通过将课堂体验与现实世界应用程序相结合来改善学生的学习；培训学生成为具有关键技能的IA专业人员，例如批判性思维，解决问题，沟通和团队合作；使学生成为一生的学习者；吸引学生从事职业，并在IA研究中增加学生的保留。该项目的主要目标是开发新的案例研究课程材料和方法，以支持本科教育中的案例研究教学方法的广泛采用，并在全国范围内增强IA教育。开发的课程材料和案例教学方法可以用于各种学科，例如计算机科学，软件工程，信息技术和信息管理系统。开发了四个选定领域的十二个案例研究（网络安全，安全管理，网络安全和应用程序安全）。在课堂上可以有效使用的情况下，可以探索不同的方法。这些案例研究用于各种课程，并评估它们对学生学习的影响。提供了两个讲习班，培训教职员工使用这些材料。
