This project will help address the shortage of highly-skilled Cybersecurity professionals by bringing research results on pervasive and mobile computing security into education and by integrating them into existing Cybersecurity curricula. Although the research community is making progress towards effective solutions in mitigating security and privacy threats in pervasive computing, it still needs to find its way to university courses across the nation, especially, in the undergraduate curriculum. With increasingly sophisticated attacks on mobile systems and devices, it is critical to bring research results on pervasive and mobile security into education to prepare the future Cybersecurity workforce. With a goal to fill this gap, the project defines the following objectives: enhancing security education through curriculum development; engaging students through hands-on lab development; improving undergraduate research capabilities through research project design; and building faculty capacity through hands-on workshops. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.This project will strengthen Cybersecurity curricula and build partnership between a metropolitan university with 60 percent of first-generation college students and a historically black university (HBCU). The course and accompanying labs will motivate students to consider a career in Cybersecurity. The joint effort in this collaborative project will increase the number of women and African American Cybersecurity professionals. The topics in pervasive and mobile computing are very practical and the hands-on labs are immersive through the use of mobile devices, emulator tools and virtualization techniques. The course materials will be delivered via several transferable learning objects containing lecture slides, videos, animations, labs and quizzes. This project will also increase the number of teachers capable to teach mobile security through curriculum, academic sharing of materials, and collaborative research opportunities.

该项目将通过将普及和移动计算安全的研究成果引入教育并将其整合到现有的网络安全课程中，帮助解决高技能网络安全专业人员的短缺问题。尽管研究界在减轻普适计算中的安全和隐私威胁的有效解决方案方面正在取得进展，但它仍然需要找到进入全国大学课程的方法，特别是在本科课程中。随着针对移动系统和设备的攻击日益复杂，将普遍移动安全的研究成果引入教育中以帮助未来的网络安全劳动力做好准备至关重要。为了填补这一空白，该项目确定了以下目标：通过课程开发加强安全教育；通过实践实验室开发吸引学生；通过研究项目设计提高本科生的研究能力；通过实践研讨会培养教师能力。安全可信网络空间 (SaTC) 计划资助从可信计算系统角度解决网络安全问题的提案；社会、行为和经济科学的视角；该项目将加强网络安全课程，并在一所拥有 60% 的第一代大学生的城市大学和一所历史悠久的黑人大学 (HBCU) 之间建立合作伙伴关系。该课程和随附的实验室将激励学生考虑从事网络安全职业。该合作项目的共同努力将增加女性和非裔美国网络安全专业人员的数量。普适计算和移动计算的主题非常实用，动手实验室通过使用移动设备、仿真器工具和虚拟化技术让学生身临其境。课程材料将通过几个可转移的学习对象提供，包括讲座幻灯片、视频、动画、实验和测验。该项目还将通过课程、学术材料共享和合作研究机会增加有能力教授移动安全的教师数量。
