This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (47.076) program provides $240,000 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to develop a cybersecurity education framework for computer science students. The project aims to build a "cybersecurity mindset" by integrating threat-driven cybersecurity modules into non-cybersecurity computer science courses, allowing students to build, break, and fix applications. The goal is to enable effective cross-module learning that promotes cybersecurity education and helps students develop a cybersecurity skillset. The project also plans to develop curriculum materials and learning modules tailored for K-12 outreach via webinars, summer camps, and online repositories. This award reflects NSF's mission to improve the effectiveness of STEM education and increase recruitment, retention, and graduation of students in STEM fields.
