All technology professionals require basic proficiency in cybersecurity. However, typical computing curricula do not require any courses in cybersecurity. As a result, a majority of students graduate without any proficiency in cybersecurity relevant to the systems they will develop and use when they join the workforce. Moreover, cybersecurity electives often cover only technical topics, and technology professionals must understand how cybersecurity is influenced by social factors. This project will fill this curricular gap and will develop, deliver, and evaluate a suite of sociotechnical cybersecurity learning modules. These modules can then be used in standard computing curricula to create a cybersecurity proficient software workforce that can significantly enhance cybersecurity in the workplace.The modules will be used in capstone courses at Informatics at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and Indiana University (IU). The researchers will utilize the modules to create an assessment for the most critical and essential cybersecurity knowledge and skills. The outcomes of the research will advance the understanding of how students could develop sociotechnical cybersecurity proficiency as a part of their capstone experience. Since capstones are typically a graduation requirement, integrating cybersecurity learning within these courses will have the transformative effect of all students in the computing disciplines graduating with core cybersecurity knowledge. As a part of the research activities, several cohorts of undergraduates will receive cybersecurity training useful for their professional careers. The learning modules and assessments will be openly available to other educators and institutions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

所有技术专业人员都需要基本的网络安全水平。 但是，典型的计算课程不需要网络安全课程。 结果，大多数学生毕业，没有任何与他们加入劳动力时将开发和使用的系统相关的网络安全性。 此外，网络安全选修课通常仅涵盖技术主题，技术专业人员必须了解网络安全如何受社会因素的影响。 该项目将填补这一课程差距，并将发展，交付和评估一套社会技术网络安全学习模块。 然后可以将这些模块用于标准计算课程中，以创建一个网络安全熟练的软件劳动力，该软件劳动力可以大大增强工作场所的网络安全。该模块将在加利福尼亚大学，Irvine（UCI）和印第安纳大学（IU）的Informatics的Capstone课程中使用。 研究人员将利用模块来为最关键和最重要的网络安全知识和技能创建评估。研究的结果将促进对学生如何发展社会技术网络安全水平的理解，这是他们的顶峰经验的一部分。 由于卡体通常是毕业要求，因此在这些课程中集成网络安全学习将具有所有学生在计算学科中的变革效应，该学科通过核心网络安全知识毕业。 作为研究活动的一部分，几名本科生将接受网络安全培训，对其职业生涯有用。 其他教育者和机构将公开获得学习模块和评估。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
