A security thread in a thread-based curriculum

Abstract	The Threads model for computing curriculum represents a natural evolution of contextualized computing education. As information security is one of the pervasive themes in IT curriculum, it is reasonable to design a security thread in a Thread-based curriculum. As computing security becomes more important in all sectors of society, so does the preparation of our students with knowledge and understanding of critical security concepts, methodologies, and techniques. Unfortunately, despite the deep and pervasive impact of security, undergraduate IT curricula and programs today often lack a cohesive model to deliver information assurance education to a wider audience, offering security courses beyond the limitation of a track, concentration, or a security minor. We want to infuse information security into our IT curriculum, and we found a good model for doing that. This paper introduces the Threads model for computing curricula originated from Georgia Tech's College of Computing, an innovative way to restructuring computing curriculum. We believe that a security Thread should be developed for any undergraduate IT program. We discuss the rationales, design, and implementation for an information security thread in IT programs as well as the challenges we have faced in designing such a thread.
