Turner College Adds New CAE Coordinator to Administrative Team

The Turner College's administrative team is growing by two positions with the addition of accreditation related posts. One of these is a new CAE Coordinator, who is responsible for managing the TSYS School's cybersecurity accreditation efforts. Filling this position is Jianhua Yang, professor of computer science, who will be working through the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) program, which is managed by National Security Agency's National Cryptologic School. Federal partners include the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/National Initiative on Cybersecurity Education (NICE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Defense Office of the Chief Information Officer (DoD-CIO), and U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). The NCAE-C program aims to create and manage a collaborative cybersecurity educational program with community colleges, colleges, and universities that establishes standards for cybersecurity curriculum and academic excellence, includes competency development among students and faculty, values community outreach and leadership in professional development, integrates cybersecurity practice within the institution across academic disciplines, actively engages in solutions to challenges facing cybersecurity education. Academic institutions may choose from three designations. The designation process is a combination of elements related to the institution focused on outputs for determining academic achievement. This combination assures that the institution meets the desired characteristics of a CAE institution, and that the academic delivery to students is producing the qualified workforce needed by the nation. CAE-designated institutions must complete validation of a Program of Study, which is a series of courses and experiences that a student can reasonably accomplish in the course of attaining a degree or completing a certificate.
