This capacity building project seeks to addresses the lack of opportunities for students for experiential learning of Cybersecurity. Although there is no overall shortage of labs anymore, many instructors do not feel comfortable using them in their courses. This project has a potential to help many instructors to provide hands-on learning opportunities to their students. The project is based on the 30 SEED labs, which were developed and tested by the PI over the last ten years and are used by over 150 instructors from 26 countries. These labs cover a wide spectrum of security principles and they have proven to be effective in enhancing student learning. The project will also develop new labs to cover a timely topic in Cybersecurity education: security in mobile computing. The NSF's CyberCorps® SFS program funds projects that address cybersecurity education and workforce development. The Scholarship Track provides funding to award scholarships to students in cybersecurity. In return for their scholarships, recipients will work after graduation for a Federal, State, Local, or Tribal Government organization in a position related to cybersecurity for a period equal to the length of the scholarship. The Capacity Track seeks innovative proposals leading to an increase in the ability of the United States higher education enterprise to produce cybersecurity professionals. There are two specific objectives of this project: 1) to dramatically increase the number of users of the SEED labs by organizing several summer workshops with about 30 participants each and by developing free online course modules, one for each lab, using one of the existing Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) platforms; and 2) to develop new hands-on labs to address security of mobile devices which have introduced their unique Cybersecurity problems. The ultimate goal of this project is to make a transformative impact on academic institutions offering Cybersecurity courses. The project sets its goal to reach 700 schools, or about 15 percent of all universities and colleges in the United States. This will create a strong community that will carry the objectives of this project far beyond its expiration date. The project will also cultivate the integration of education and research in the area of mobile system security. The proposed Mobi-SEED labs are derived from the cutting-edge research projects on mobile-system security.

该能力建设项目旨在解决学生缺乏网络安全体验式学习机会的问题，尽管总体上不再缺乏实验室，但许多教师不愿意在课程中使用它们。该项目有潜力帮助许多教师。该项目基于 30 个 SEED 实验室，这些实验室由 PI 在过去十年中开发和测试，并由来自 26 个国家/地区的 150 多名教师使用。该项目还将开发新的实验室来涵盖网络安全教育中的一个及时主题：移动计算安全。NSF 的 Cyber​​Corps® SFS 计划资助解决网络安全教育的项目。奖学金途径为网络安全领域的学生提供奖学金，作为对奖学金的回报，获奖者将在毕业后在联邦、州、地方或部落政府组织中担任与网络安全相关的职位。的长度能力跟踪寻求可提高美国高等教育企业培养网络安全专业人员的能力的创新提案。该项目有两个具体目标：1) 大幅增加 SEED 实验室的用户数量。组织多个夏季研讨会，每个研讨会约有 30 名参与者，并使用现有的大规模在线开放课程 (MOOC) 平台之一开发免费的在线课程模块，每个实验室一个模块；2) 开发新的实践实验室，以解决网络安全问题；推出了其该项目的最终目标是对提供网络安全课程的学术机构产生变革性影响，该项目的目标是覆盖 700 所学校，即美国所有大学和学院的约 15%。一个强大的社区将在其到期日之后实现该项目的目标。该项目还将促进移动系统安全领域的教育和研究的整合。移动系统边缘研究项目安全。
