Auburn University received a $299,978 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), effective July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. The award funds development of an experimental modular curriculum framework addressing the educational gap in artificial intelligence (AI) cybersecurity instruction. The project will design, prototype, and evaluate reusable educational materials that integrate agentic AI concepts into existing cybersecurity programs without requiring full curriculum redesign, enabling adoption across computer science, cybersecurity, data science, and engineering programs at multiple institutions. The deliverables include a comprehensive CyberAI curriculum architecture, evidence-based assessment of student learning and skill development in AI-enabled cybersecurity, and foundational models for scalable educational programs. The curriculum will prepare students to understand, build, test, and secure AI-enabled systems by addressing AI-native attack surfaces, prompt and context manipulation, model and data leakage, agent workflow compromise, secure pipeline design, and supply chain risk. Through design-based exercises and assessments positioning students as both AI system builders and adversarial analysts, the project aims to develop a national workforce with practical competencies at the intersection of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.
