Engaging Millennials with Information Technology: A Case Study Using High School Cyber Defense Competitions
Those of us in the fields of computer engineering and computer science find ourselves in the middle of an oxymoron. We are at the intersection where enrollments in our disciplines are dropping while at the same time the need for creative minds to solve pressing security problems is on the rise. Our institution, a well-known land grant with robust programs in computer security and information assurance at the undergraduate and graduate levels, recognized the need to encourage more Millennials to study in an information technology-related area and has started a program to try to entice students to enter our chosen professions.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
