Education Sigurd Meldal (SJSU)Janos Sztipanovits (Vanderbilt)

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 & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy

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 & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy

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 Education & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy

TRUST Education Tactics • TRUST will • Ensure that students (postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate) participate in the interdisciplinary education activities both as trainees and trainers. • Develop and disseminate reusable training modules, seminar material and courses that focus on integrative elements of system trustworthiness. • Provide interdisciplinary training for students and instructors from K–6 through higher education to research institutions. • Utilize advanced learning science principles and learning technology methods to achieve the educational goals. • Leverage infrastructure and other results from prior and existing education and domain-related efforts.

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. Education & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy

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. Education & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy

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 Education & Outreach, Meldal, Sztipanovits, Bajcsy
