Design is 13 years old with little change Lots of requirements Lots of options Most popular track is Network (CCNA curriculum) but have to offer courses in other tracks Difficult to offer courses for all tracks on regular basis We lost one faculty member who taught most of the network (CCNA) track Currently using adjunct to cover CCNA courses (at night) Dean will provide funds for faculty re-training

Preserve Cyber Defense Team Continue service to other departments (Business and TCO) Look at IT Curriculum Guidelines (ACM 2008 IT Curriculum located at recommendations) Seek advise of External Advisory Board Seek outside evaluator

Reduce number of required courses (currently 19 courses) Eliminate tracks Produce one student product instead of multiple ones Add service learning component Stress Cloud A dd more Information Assurance and Security Strive to become a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance and Security Education Need for c entral theme or focus

Pillar Approach IT Fundamentals 5 Pillars Information Assurance & Security Professionalism
