This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program Project Grant award of $299,897 to Lamar University aims to develop an interdisciplinary cybersecurity education program to support the workforce needs of critical energy and chemical infrastructure. The project will generate knowledge- and practice-oriented content for integration into chemical engineering, computer science, and criminal justice curriculums. Key activities include developing a new course with modular content, creating active case studies, and engaging students through hands-on experiences like games and tabletop exercises. The goal is to transform the state of industrial cybersecurity research and workforce preparedness for the energy and chemical industry by broadening cybersecurity education in engineering degree plans. The project will directly engage a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students from the participating disciplines. No subawards are planned under this award, which has a period of performance from September 15, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
