This project addresses the problem of Cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs in Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 by aiming to host a 10-week summer program for undergraduate, graduate students and CI professionals. The project develops instructional materials and implements a new CyberTrainng project to train current and future Advanced Manufacturing (AM) research workforce members in CI cybersecurity. It exposes the participants to various challenges of CI centered cybersecurity in Industry 4.0, with a focus on the vital national need for well trained and highly knowledgeable AM researchers who are capable of solving real-world cybersecurity problems in emerging complex Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems. The training also includes the secure and safe adoption of CI centered computational tools in AM. The project has direct and long term impacts in both the public and private sectors by training the research workforce to address CI centered cybersecurity challenges in Industry 4.0. University at Buffalo (UB) has established solid and intellectually-engaging programs in the areas of AM and CI centered research areas. This project can form a new synergetic research and education program for the AM research workforce. Moreover, utilizing the collaboration with established diversity-promotion programs at UB and local industrial partners, this CyberTraining project can significantly increase the collective impact of the project, benefiting numerous graduate and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups and improving the diversity of the research workforce.The goal of this project is to bridge the gap between general cybersecurity education and CI centered Advanced Manufacturing research training and to prepare a group of future AM research workforce with advanced CI cybersecurity knowledge to undertake specific roles in their future careers. Currently, as computers，networks and intelligent devices penetrating every aspect of Industry 4.0, CI cybersecurity training is in high demand to cover materials that deeply incorporate discipline-oriented topics for modern CI-centered manufacturing environments beyond core literacy in computers/networks security. Specifically, the team aims to develop and provide an innovative training program, including a set of hands-on labs that introduce domain specific cybersecurity attack surfaces and mitigation techniques. The training skills are crucial to address the various cybersecurity challenges of Industry 4.0 systems in AM hardware (e.g., industrial controllers and power line), AM software (e.g., embedded firmware, CAD/CAM software, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems), AM communication networks (e.g., industrial IoTs, CAN bus) and other crucial CI components (e.g., new side channel discovery, IP theft/protection, quality control tools, supply chain software/database, and incident response strategies). Moreover, the project employs learning science principles, specifically the active learning and inquiry based learning strategies, that facilitate students' learning outcomes and provide formative feedback to instructors.This project is jointly funded by OAC and the CyberCorps program.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.

该项目解决了高级制造业和行业4.0中网络基础设施需求的问题，目的是为本科，研究生和CI专业人员举办为期10周的夏季计划。该项目开发了教学材料，并实施了一个新的Cyber​​trainng项目，以培训CI网络安全中当前和未来的高级制造业（AM）研究人员。它使参与者在工业4.0中面临CI中心网络安全的各种挑战，重点是国家对训练有素且知识渊博的AM研究人员的重要需求，他们能够解决新兴的复杂行业4.0制造系统中现实世界中的网络安全问题。该培训还包括在AM中安全且安全采用以CI为中心的计算工具。该项目通过培训研究人员来应对CI中心的网络安全挑战4.0，对公共部门和私营部门产生直接和长期影响。布法罗大学（UB）已在AM和CI中心研究领域建立了坚实的智力参与计划。该项目可以为AM研究人员组成新的协同研究和教育计划。此外，利用与UB和当地工业伙伴的既定多样性促销计划的合作，该网络培养项目可以显着增加该项目的集体影响，使众多毕业生和本科生的众多研究生和本科生受益于代表性不足的人群，并改善了该项目的培训，以促进该项目的差异。具有高级CI网络安全知识的劳动力在其未来职业中扮演特定角色。当前，随着计算机，网络和智能设备渗透到行业4.0的各个方面，CI网络安全培训的需求很高，涵盖了材料，这些材料深深地融合了以纪律为导向的现代CI以CI为中心的以CI为中心的制造环境，而不是计算机/网络安全性的核心素养。具体而言，该团队旨在制定和提供创新的培训计划，包括一组动手实验室，这些实验室引入了特定的网络安全攻击表面和缓解技术。培训技能对于解决行业4.0系统中的各种网络安全挑战至关重要盗窃/保护，质量控制工具，供应链软件/数据库和事件响应策略）。此外，项目员工学习科学原则，特别是基于积极的学习和基于询问的学习策略，促进了学生的学习成果并向教师提供形成性的反馈。该项目由OAC和Cyber​​Corps计划共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力效果来评估支持NSF的法定任务，并获得了支持。
