This proposal will inaugurate a CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program at the University of Texas at El Paso. The UTEP SFS Scholars program will fund highly qualified students in the Software Engineering of Secure Cyber-Systems program. They will graduate with the ability to apply disciplined software development principles and processes that focus on the specification of measurable attributes emphasizing safety and security, design of solutions that address such attributes, and verification and validation throughout the software lifecycle. SFS Scholars will complete a curriculum that is based on a nationally-recognized set of recommendations for building secure software systems, participate in an internship to utilize and enhance their cyber-security knowledge, and transfer knowledge gained from coursework into practice through hands-on activities that bring real-world experiences into the classroom and a practicum project with significant cyber-security components. In addition to providing a well-designed plan of study, the proposed program includes structured student mentoring following the nationally recognized Affinity Group model that develops students? professional, technical, and communication skills. The recruitment plan includes national, regional, and local outreach efforts to attract applicants, and a selection process that ensures recommendations of students highly qualified for the program. The effort includes formative and summative evaluation, a well-defined continuous quality improvement plan to assess how well the curriculum and student co-curricular activities prepare graduates for productive careers, and an Advisory Board that recommends program improvements based on data.The recruitment plan includes strategic involvement with Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS); Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), Center for Minorities and People with Disabilities and the Computing Alliance for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI). The recruitment strategies aim for a cohort that is 40% female and 85% underrepresented minorities. The recruitment, retention, and student development efforts will impact students beyond those who are funded. The promotion of the experiences and successes of SFS scholars is expected to attract more students who seek education and training in secure cyber-systems. The educational and training materials developed through the program will be published and disseminated to CAHSI institutions and beyond via the CAHSI Summit and social media.

该提案将在德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校举行的网络核心服务奖学金（SFS）计划。 UTEP SFS学者计划将在安全网络系统计划的软件工程中为高​​素质的学生提供资金。他们将毕业，能够应用纪律处分的软件开发原则和流程，这些原则和流程着重于强调安全性和安全性的可测量属性，解决此类属性的解决方案的设计以及整个软件生命周期中的验证和验证。 SFS学者将完成一项课程，该课程基于一套全国认可的建议集，用于建立安全的软件系统，参与实习，以利用和增强其网络安全知识，并通过将课程从实践中获得的知识转移到实践中，从而将现实的经验带入课堂上，并具有重要的Cyber​​mumumumummumummummumummummummumpromp。除了提供精心设计的研究计划外，该计划还包括遵循发展学生的全国认可的亲和力小组模型的结构化学生的心态？专业，技术和沟通技巧。招聘计划包括吸引申请人的国家，地区和地方外展工作，以及确保学生建议该计划的建议。这项工作包括形成性和总结性评估，定义明确的持续质量改进计划，以评估课程和学生的课外活动如何为产品职业准备毕业生，并根据数据建议进行计划改进的顾问委员会。招聘计划包括与妇女在网络安全性（WICYS）（WICYS）的战略参与（WICYS）；奇卡诺斯/西班牙裔美国人和美国原住民的进步学会（SACNAS），少数民族和残疾人中心以及西班牙裔服务机构的计算联盟（CAHSI）。招聘策略的目的是40％的女性和85％的人数不足的少数民族。招聘，保留和学生发展工作将影响学生以外的学生。预计SFS学者的经验和成功的促进将吸引更多在安全网络系统中寻求教育和培训的学生。通过该计划开发的教育和培训材料将出版并通过CAHSI峰会和社交媒体发表并传播给CAHSI机构。
