Designing for Learning in an Interdisciplinary Education Context

摘要

Cyber Security is a total business problem. Creating meaningful learning experiences to prepare students for complex cyber situations in an organization is no small undertaking. The higher education is ill prepared in meeting the challenge of providing learning experiences that provide both breadth and depth. To fill the void and meet the fast-growing demands in cybersecurity workforce, the authors of the paper propose consulting experience as a strategy to create student-driven learning. Student-led consulting will assist students in systematically assessing organizational security problems and designing and implementing organizational interventions. We describe why college students should be equipped to conduct consulting projects with faculty supervision and how it can be done.
