Anatomy, dissection, and mechanics of an introductory cyber-security course's curriculum at the United States naval academy |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Due to the high priority of cyber-security education, the United States Naval Academy rapidly developed and implemented a new cyber-security course that is required for all of its first-year students. During the fall semester in 2011, half of the incoming class (about 600 students) took the course through a total of 31 sections offered by 16 instructors from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. In the following spring semester, the remaining half of the first-year students will take the course. This paper explains the motivation that instigated and drove course development, the curriculum, teaching mechanics implemented, personnel required, as well as challenges and lessons learned from the first offering of the course. The information contained in this paper will be useful to those thinking of implementing a technical course required of all students at the same level in an institution (in our case first-year students) and particularly those interested in implementing such a course in cyber security. |
