Education: Current National Situation Assessment

K-12: Insignificant presence Undergraduate programs:

– Engineering: Separate courses, add-ons– Social sciences: Insignificant presence– Integration: Insignificant

Graduate programs:– Engineering: Lack of holistic view in system design– Social sciences: Lack of courses, cooperation



Education Vision

Trust education– part of technological and social literacy– central to technological and policy-making professional

competency Trust education integrates domains

– trust solutions = policy options + technology options Trust education within domains

– From engineering to the social sciences Trust education cuts across education levels

– K-12, undergraduate programs, profession-oriented masters programs, research-oriented doctoral programs



Education Strategy

The TRUST educational agenda will be integrative: our vision is to make trustworthiness part of the core design principles in all systems area instead of establishing a separate discipline.

TRUST will leverage the rich educational and institutional infrastructure of the partner institutions (Centers, Outreach Programs, Technologies, Processes, Institutional Relationships).

TRUST will provide holistic educational experience: it will be project focused and interdisciplinary



TRUST Education Tactics

TRUST will1. Ensure that students (postgraduate, graduate and

undergraduate) participate in the interdisciplinary education activities both as trainees and trainers.

2. Develop and disseminate reusable training modules, seminar material and courses that focus on integrative elements of system trustworthiness.

3. Provide interdisciplinary training for students and instructors from K–6 through higher education to research institutions.

4. Utilize advanced learning science principles and learning technology methods to achieve the educational goals.

5. Leverage infrastructure and other results from prior and existing education and domain-related efforts.



Dissemination – Evangelization

So you have a better mousetrap…

Will they come?– Assist in authoring re-usable modules– Facilitate access to learning material– Facilitate deployment of learning material– Grow a learning community

Main Activities




General Steps

Content creation Presentation & Packaging Learning Strategy Formalization Delivery methods Evangelization and dissemination Challenges

– Bringing in the policy-oriented educators– Bringing in the non-CS engineering disciplines– Evangelizing



Undergraduate Curriculum Refinement & Development

Develop (new) material for (new) domains Collect course material and teaching

experiences from the TRUST partners Identify knowledge units – generate

retargetable learning modules Define appropriate taxonomic structures



Facilitate Adoption of New Material

Security science (incremental, integrative, learning modules)– In-discipline: operating systems, programming languages,

cryptography, secure networking, hardware architectures…Canonical security courses

– Cross-discipline: Social impact, law, privacy, organizational roles, infrastructure

– Case studies as vehicle for learning modules Social sciences (incremental, integrative, learning modules)

– In-discipline: Privacy, information management and security, economics, organization theory, IP

– Cross-discipline: Fundamentals of security technologies, technology awareness

Systems science (new capstone courses)– Cross-discipline: Design and analysis of complex systems

Courseware repository– Web-deliverable courseware – VaNTH/eLMS



Graduate Curriculum Refinement & Development

New courses will be jointly developed:– Design and Analysis of Secure Systems. – Integrative Systems Science

Advanced graduate seminars Computer and system security laboratory

– Team competitions New courses designed for engineering

audience; joint offering across partners using web-cast technology




Main Activities




Repository Content

Retargetable Learning Modules– Elements of the learning process

Courses– Teach security in a context



Learning Module Repository

Facilitate efficient reuse of courseware– Lectures– Projects– Homework assignments

Organized into small modules– May be incorporated into other courses

Example: The RSA module may be used in an algorithms class

Easy to adapt to different audiences– Same topics covered by different instructors in different

courses at different universities– Example: cryptography

Facilitate designing course architectures– The Lego approach to coursework design



Course Repository

Implement Course Repository in CAPE– Specify taxonomy– Define course learning objectives– Simulate learning process via sequencing of course modules– Include relevant resources in a course module

Lecture notes, Presentation slides Home assignments, Projects Exams, Quizzes

Web-based Delivery System – Hosted by VaNTH from Vanderbilt University– https://try.elms.vanth.org

Where We Are Now



OUTREACH Agenda

We are engaged in two kinds of outreach activities:

Local, in which each local groups have their own outreach activities tailored to the local conditions.

Overall Center activities which engage the community at large. Here, we are most concerned how to disseminate our knowledge to the widest diverse population.



Local Activities

BFOIT - Berkeley Foundation for Opportunities in Information Technologyhttp://www.bfoit.org/

SUPERB-IT - Summer Undergraduate Program in Engineering Research at Berkeley - Information Technologyhttp://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/ugrad/superb/superb.html

SIPHER - Summer Internship Program in Hybrid and Embedded Software Researchhttp://fountain.isis.vanderbilt.edu/fountain/Teaching/

Pennsylvania Area HBCU Outreach - Historically Black Colleges and Universitieshttp://is.hss.cmu.edu/summer.html



Center Activity for this Year

Women’s Institute in Summer Enrichment (WISE) is affiliated with the Center for the Team in Research for Ubiquitous Secure Technology (TRUST). WISE is a residential summer program on the University of California, Berkeley campus that brings together women (but it is not restricted to women only!) from all disciplines that are interested in TRUSTed systems in Science and Technology and all of the social, political, and economical ramifications that are associated with these systems.

Professors from across the country come to Berkeley to teach power courses in several disciplines, including computer science, economics, law, and electrical engineering. The one-week program includes rigorous classes in the morning, and allows participants to explore through hands-on experiments and team-based projects in the afternoons.



The WISE program

Applications for summer 2006 are available on this website on the Application page (we shall shortly set this up). Our tuition fee for summer 2006 will be $1,500 -- applicants with financial need may request a fee waiver on the application form.

20 participants will be selected from a nationwide applicant pool of young women and men who have demonstrated outstanding academic talent. No prior experience in computer programming, law, or engineering is required, but we expect students to be able to handle college-level material at a rapid pace.



Questions and answers about the program

When and how long will the institute be held?We plan to hold the Institute starting July 5th and ending it on July 11th inclusive. It will be held here at UC Berkeley campus, we made reservations for accommodations

Is it exclusively for women?No, but women will be especially encouraged

Are the speakers exclusively women?No but the majority of speakers are women

Are the topics to be focused on system security?We leave the topics to the choice of individual teachers who all are engaged in security research.

What is the background of the target audience? Are they students? faculty? Will they primarily be from UCB? (If the answer to the last question is yes, then how does the institute relate to the seminar series?) We aim at graduate students, faculty who wish to start a course in this area.We will recruit from the whole USA

Will speakers be reimbursed for travel expenses? YES we also plan to give (modest) honorarium to speakers

What arrangements for accommodations are being made? For students we have the International House, for speakers we will make hotel reservations

How many attendees are expected? We hope to have minimum 20 attendees

If this is to be a "course", then whose property are the materials (see below)? We hope to have it as open source posted on the web
