Advanced Course in Engineering (ACE) - Cyber Security Boot Camp

Abstract

The goal of the Advanced Course in Engineering on Cyber Security (ACE) was to develop next-generation cyber-security leaders, with a particular emphasis on educating future military leaders. ACE sought the best students at United States colleges and universities for this endeavor. ACE achieved its stated objectives by completely immersing students in the cyber-security discipline for ten weeks, through a combination of intense coursework, open-ended problems, and internship experiences at local government and industry cyber-security labs. While providing real-world problems, the ACE faculty taught the students to formulate clear problem statements, make reasonable assumptions, apply engineering tools and techniques, solve the problems to a certain depth, apply risk analysis to the solutions, and deliver those solutions on time. In addition to solving problems and delivering solutions on time, students learned to communicate through written reports and compelling presentations.
