TSYS School's Linqiang Ge Named Finalist for 2027 CSU Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Award

Since joining the TSYS School in 2020, Linqiang Ge's teaching and scholarship have centered on transforming cybersecurity and computer science education through evidence-based, high-impact pedagogical innovations. Guided by the principles of the scholarship of teaching and learning, he has systematically studied how hands-on, research-driven, and collaborative learning approaches enhance student understanding, engagement, and professional readiness. My scholarship of teaching and learning efforts have been supported by more than $197,000 in funded teaching and curriculum grants from the National Security Agency, Teach Access, Affordable Learning Georgia, and CSU. These initiatives have strengthened Ge's ability to integrate authentic research experiences into coursework, establish inclusive computing laboratories, and expand outreach in cybersecurity education. One of his most significant scholarship of teaching and learning projects centers on CYBR 3136 – Wireless and Network Security, an upper-level course that prepares students to analyze, design, and implement secure communication systems. Recognizing the challenge students often face in connecting theoretical security models to practical applications, Ge redesigned this course to emphasize active learning, project-based inquiry, and reflection-driven assessment. Ge also believes that students learn best when they are guided to discover and create knowledge through authentic experiences. To achieve this, he integrated a research-based drone laboratory into CYBR 3136 utilizing a grant that funded a high-performance drone platform for wireless experimentation. Students used the drone to build dynamic wireless networks in open-field environments, exploring connectivity and real-time security challenges. Ge's work has demonstrated measurable impacts on student outcomes, engagement, and career readiness. He remains committed to advancing a culture of scholarly teaching at CSU, where each class, lab, and mentorship opportunity contributes not only to student success but also to our shared understanding of how learning happens in computing education. These activities contributed to Ge's selection as the Turner College's nominee for the 2027 CSU Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Award. Turner Business congratulates Ge on this outstanding achievement and wishes him the best as he competes at the University level for this award.
