Wireless and Mobile Computing Security Education -- A SAFE PROJECT
This collaborative project between University of Michigan-Dearborn and Alabama A&M University will help address the shortage of
highly-skilled Cybersecurity professionals by bringing research results on pervasive and mobile computing security into education and 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.
