Arizona State University (ASU), a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education/Cyber Defense (CAE IA/CD), proposes to continue and expand its participation in the CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program to prepare highly-qualified cybersecurity professionals for entry into the government workforce. A distinguished faculty and a well-funded research program in information and systems assurance, together with a well-balanced cybersecurity curriculum, result in SFS graduates that match the needs of the Federal government and the public. The PIs support a diverse Federal workforce by placing a special emphasis on recruiting and graduating highly talented students from underrepresented groups as well as students transferred from community colleges. ASU has established a strong curriculum in information assurance with emphasis on trustworthiness, security and forensics involving information systems and networks. Ten cybersecurity courses in computer science and engineering, and additional six courses in other disciplines, including electrical engineering, industrial engineering, mathematics and information systems are regularly offered. In 2015, ASU was re-designated as a CAE IA/CD with five focus areas: data management systems security, digital forensics, network security engineering, secure cloud computing, and secure software development. The proposed SFS program aims to meet the Federal government's critical need for cybersecurity professionals by graduating a cadre of undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D. students, and providing the necessary mentoring and support to place them in Federal agencies and laboratories. The program continues to strengthen cybersecurity activities through improvement of the academic programs, extracurricular activities emphasizing hands-on experiences, leadership development through collaborative work and community service, outreach activities, and extensive interactions with Federal laboratories and agencies. Collaborative research and educational activities, and communication skills development are strongly emphasized. The program also supports student organizations and peer mentoring.

亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）是国家信息保证教育/网络防御学术卓越学术中心（CAE IA/CD），他建议继续并扩大其参与网络科目（R）服务（SFS）计划（SFS）计划的参与，以准备高度合格的网络安全专业人员从事政府工作人员的工作。一项杰出的教师和资金资助的信息和系统保证研究计划，以及平衡的网络安全课程，导致SFS毕业生适应了联邦政府和公众的需求。 PI通过特别强调从代表性不足的团体以及从社区学院转学的学生招募和毕业的高度才华横溢的学生来支持多样化的联邦劳动力。 ASU在信息保证方面已经建立了强大的课程，重点是涉及信息系统和网络的可信度，安全性和取证。定期提供十个计算机科学和工程学的网络安全课程，以及其他学科的六门课程，包括电气工程，工业工程，数学和信息系统。 2015年，ASU被重新指定为具有五个重点领域的CAE IA/CD：数据管理系统安全，数字取证，网络安全工程，安全云计算和安全软件开发。拟议的SFS计划旨在通过毕业的本科，硕士和博士学位来满足联邦政府对网络安全专业人员的关键需求。学生，并提供必要的指导和支持，以将其置于联邦机构和实验室。该计划通过改进学术课程，强调动手经验，通过协作工作和社区服务，推广活动以及与联邦实验室和机构的广泛互动来强调实践经验，领导力发展，通过改进学术课外活动来加强网络安全活动。强烈强调协作研究和教育活动以及沟通技巧的发展。该计划还支持学生组织和同伴指导。
