The University of Maryland, Baltimore County will receive $262,209 over three years from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to examine pedagogy in cybersecurity education at United States military academies. Specifically, the Examining Pedagogy in Cybersecurity at Military Academies project will introduce simulation-based learning exercises and pedagogies into mandatory first-year cybersecurity courses at the U.S. Naval Academy and U.S. Military Academy, which teach cybersecurity concepts to approximately 2,100 diverse students annually. The University will conduct a quasi-experimental study with over 6,300 subjects across three student cohorts to evaluate the relative effectiveness of traditional versus simulation-based instructional approaches. All educational materials developed under the project will be made freely available. Research results will be used to refine the new pedagogies and strengthen cybersecurity education for both military and civilian institutions, ultimately enhancing national security.
