Security Education for Future Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Workforce
Project overview
The overall goal of this project is to design a comprehensive suite of course modules and hands-on exercises that focus on the security education of the control, communication, and sensing modules in advanced manufacturing systems (AMS), implement the materials in both undergraduate and graduate level engineering technology and computer science courses, conduct systematic evaluation, and contribute to the establishment of an education and training pipeline for future manufacturing workforce.
The proposed efforts consist of the following components: (1) build a flexible manufacturing experiment platform for security educational purposes; (2) design a suite of course modules and hands-on projects upon the platform that focus on security and reliability of the manufacturing control mechanisms; (3) implement the instructional materials in engineering technology and computer science courses and conduct systematic evaluation; and (4) promote dissemination and adoption of the proposed approach.
The project is supported by NSF SaTC program under the award number 1523096.
