Overview
A cybersecurity intern program is a 12 week series, that requires the cybersecurity interns to be higher education students currently taking courses in Virginia. The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) awarded Brian Ngac and his research colleague, Nirup Menon, a $100K Grant for a Cyber Security Experiential Learning effort. This grant was based on Brian's past performance and experience in conducting Experiential Learning activities in the areas of Cyber Security and Business Process Improvement with high-performing students, Industry Participants, and Real Projects since the Spring 2018 semester at George Mason University. In this talk, Brian will introduce the Experiential Learning Program and its needs including two 12-student cohorts, multiple industry participants, and 8 project solicitations. Brian will also inform the audience of his Cyber and Business Process Improvement Experiential Learning course and how industry can participate in the following semesters.
