Closing Remarks and Adjournment Cliff Otto, Chair AGENDA ITEM: IV. Florida Polytechnic University Board of Trustees February 2, 2021 Subject: Re-approval of the Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security Engineering Degree Proposed Action To re-approve the Bachelor of Science degree program in Cyber Security Engineering. Background Information The Cyber Security Engineering Degree was formally approved by the Board of Trustees at the May 20, 2020 meeting. Unfortunately, I have to ask the Board for reapproval of this degree program so that it can be formally reviewed by the Board of Governors staff. The relevant facts are: • The degree program approved in May and the degree program for which I am requesting your formal approval are exactly the same (noting a few small updates have been made). • The degree program process includes a request for comment from the state college system and comments from the common prerequisite workgroup for the state. When the degree program was approved in May, we had received the state college comments, but had not received inputs from the common prerequisite workgroup. • Planning and Operations for/with COVID have taxed our campus and other campuses as well. We finally received the inputs from the common prerequisite workgroup in November. We submitted the degree program to the Board of Governors for review last week. The importance of an early spring semester submission is to avoid a review backlog that has been present in the past after the first spring semester BOG meeting. • A degree program cannot be listed in the state inventory of degree programs until it has been reviewed, and a campus may not recruit for the degree program until the degree is listed in the state inventory. • The board regulation that specifies degree program approval notes a timeline that includes submittal to the Board of Governors office for degree programs within four weeks of BOT approval. Because of this timeline, the BOG will not accept the proposal approval from May. I respectfully request your approval for the degree program so that we can submit it the BOG for review. Information regarding this degree: • The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Engineering prepares engineers to be cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to conceptualize, design, engineer, test, and implement all components of a cyber-physical, network system. This includes hardware, software, networking, and human interfaces of the system.

Briefly describe within a few paragraphs the degree program under consideration, including (a) level; (b) emphases, including majors, concentrations, tracks, or specializations; (c) total number of credit hours; and (d) overall purpose, including examples of employment or education opportunities that may be available to program graduates. The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Engineering prepares engineers to be cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to conceptualize, design, engineer, test, and implement all components of a cyber-physical network system. This includes hardware, software, networking, and human interfaces of the system. The program encompasses computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, engineering, science, and mathematics. The program educates students in the fundamental core of cybersecurity engineering of physical systems and its cutting-edge, high-impact areas focusing on industrial plans, smart-grid, and hardware security. The curriculum starts with developing in students a strong background in engineering math and science before expanding into engineering topics within the framework of hardware-based computer engineering and electrical engineering blended with software-based computer science. The hardware-based computer engineering includes microcomputer and computer architecture. The curriculum emphasizes cyber physical security with concentrations Industrial Control Systems Security, Smart-grid Security, and Hardware Security. The cybersecurity engineering program is distinct from other Bachelor of Science programs in cybersecurity because as an engineering program it encompasses a comprehensive view of system design. The program’s emphasis on the security of cyber physical systems requires seven (7) new courses of 21 credits. The program is structured to satisfy the ABET general program requirements with 36 credits (minimum 30) of math and science, 65 credits of engineering topics (minimum 45) and 18 credits of broad humanities. The program provides breadth from the required courses and depth through the concentration courses. The curriculum is also structured to meet ABET program requirements for cybersecurity engineering through required courses and these include • Probability, statistics, and cryptographic topics. • Discrete mathematics and information theory • Application of protective technologies and forensic techniques • Consideration of legal, regulatory, privacy, ethics, and human behavior topics as appropriate to the program. Students holding this degree are employable in government, military, and private sector, and will have a solid foundation to pursue advanced study in computer science, electrical or computer engineering at the graduate level.

  • Black Feminist Thought
    Praise for the first edition of Black Feminist Thought “The book argues convincingly that black feminists be given, in the words immor- talized by Aretha Franklin, a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T....Those with an appetite for scholarese will find the book delicious.” —Black Enterprise “With the publication of Black Feminist Thought, black feminism has moved to a new level. Collins’ work sets a standard for the discussion of black women’s lives, experiences, and thought that demands rigorous attention to the complexity of these experiences and an exploration of a multiplicity of responses.” —Women’s Review of Books “Patricia Hill Collins’ new work [is] a marvelous and engaging account of the social construction of black feminist thought. Historically grounded, making excellent use of oral history, interviews, music, poetry, fiction, and scholarly literature, Hill pro- poses to illuminate black women’s standpoint. .Those already familiar with black women’s history and literature will find this book a rich and satisfying analysis. Those who are not well acquainted with this body of work will find Collins’ book an accessible and absorbing first encounter with excerpts from many works, inviting fuller engagement. As an overview, this book would make an excellent text in women’s studies, ethnic studies, and African-American studies courses, especially at the upper-division and graduate levels. As a meditation on the deeper implications of feminist epistemology and sociological practice, Patricia Hill Collins has given us a particular gift.” —Signs “Patricia Hill Collins has done the impossible. She has written a book on black feminist thought that combines the theory with the most immediate in feminist practice.

  • Valentine Richmond History | Jackson Ward Art Walk
    Valentine Richmond History Self-Guided Public Art Walk through Historic Jackson Ward All directions are in italics. Start your tour at the intersection of Marshall Street and 2nd Street. JACKSON WARD Today you will be touring a snippet of Jackson Ward, concentrating on the murals, many of which tell the stories of this historic neighborhood. Jackson Ward has a rich history that you will only begin to scratch the surface of on today’s walk. First a quick overview of its past; prior to the Civil War, Jackson Ward was a mix of free persons of color, European immigrants, and American-born white artisans. After the Civil War, Jackson Ward became the largest African American community in Richmond and a nationally important center of African American economic and cultural activity. Hippodrome Theater, c. 1959 (Independent Order of St. Luke Photograph Collection, The Valentine) It has been called The Harlem of the South and The Black Wall Street. Jackson Ward was the location of banks, clubs, insurance companies, and commercial and social institutions. State sponsored segregation developed in Richmond after the Civil War due to detrimental beliefs concerning the rights of African Americans which lead to restrictive public policies. By 1940, Jackson Ward had become home to approximately 5000 African Americans. In effect, Jackson Ward functioned politically and economically as a "separate city" within the larger metropolis. The area began to decline in the 1950s. One reason was the construction of the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike (I95) in the mid-50s, the result of federal redevelopment policy, called urban renewal, that supported clearing out of inner-city neighborhoods deemed “slums,” predominantly African American neighborhoods, to build new infrastructure.

  • Celebrating and Growing a Diverse Economy in Cape Town, South Africa
    Fostering new spaces: Celebrating and growing a diverse economy in Cape Town, South Africa A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Development Studies Emma Noëlle Hosking School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Cover photo: Wandisile, Chwayita, Mama Bokolo and I sit together in Hubspace Khayelitsha. Unfortunately Stefan was absent. Source: Emma Hosking (2014) Dedicated to Chwayita, Mama B, Stefan, Wandisile and Ludwe You are ever hopeful and excited by possibility. You have transformed and inspired me through your persistent pursuit of justice and Ubuntu. You have enabled me to articulate my sense of the world in these pages. “We are transformed, individually, collectively, as we make radical creative space which affirms and sustains our subjectivity, which gives us new location to articulate our sense of the world” – bell hooks (1990: 153) Abstract This thesis explores and celebrates diverse understandings and experiences of the economy through the narratives of four people working in Cape Town, South Africa. The diversity and multiplicity of the economy has been made invisible by a capitalocentric economic discourse which casts alternative ways of being as uncredible and weak. Thus, from a post- development/community economy perspective, I seek to foster a space in which non- conventional economic and political practices are seen as relevant and valid sites for action, where hope for a better future can be enabled. Living in the segregated city of Cape Town, I began to question the polemic framing of the country‟s “two economies”, a framing which disregards the actions of ordinary people who are improving the well-being of their communities directly, in favour of neoliberal pro- growth strategies.

  • Community-Based Narratives: a Study of Collaborative Content Creation in Visual Media Production
    Doctoral Dissertation Academic Year 2013 Community-Based Narratives: A Study of Collaborative Content Creation in Visual Media Production Graduate School of Media Design Keio University Janak Bhimani A Doctoral Dissertation submitted to Graduate School of Media Design, Keio University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. of Media Design Janak Bhimani Dissertation Committee: Professor Ichiya Nakamura (Supervisor) Professor Masahiko Inami (Chair) Professor Naohisa Ohta (Member) Associate Professor Kazunori Suguira (Member) Associate Professor Itaru Kitahara (Member) i Abstract Collaborative content creation is the act of multiple individuals engaging in the creation of visual media narratives. Visual media production encompasses a myriad of styles and genres of content. In this dissertation, research into three synchronous and asynchronous approaches to collaborative content creation are presented. Synchronous collaboration refers to collaboration conducted simultaneously by remote parties while asynchronous refers to work undertaken by remote collaborators at different times. Of the three methods presented in this paper, two of the methods implemented resulted in collaborative student-made documentaries. First, asynchronous collaboration is explored in the curation of crowdsourced assets after the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan in the production of “lenses + landscapes”. Crowdsourcing is a means to utilize existing media assets to deliver a narrative experience that consists of many small parts, but whose overall impact as a whole is greater than the sum. Second, a combination of synchronous and asynchronous remote co-located collaborative content creation is examined in the production of “places + perspectives”. The implementation of large, remotely located touchscreens in collaborative sessions by teams in Japan and the United States is illustrated and analyzed.

Andrew Stevenson 1 Abstract Psychological theory has traditionally yielded limited and predominantly cognitivist approaches to place and its perception. This thesis applies non- representational and phenomenological approaches to the study of place and space. It employs participatory sensory ethnography as a method for researching narratives of place-making and creative responses to a new city. Place and space theory portrays places as inseparable from meanings invested in them (Thrift, 2008), seeing cities as collections of stories, rather than as fixed locations. They are made by the performative engagements of those who move through them (Ingold, 2000). In researching place making with a cohort of collaborators that came from 16 internationally diverse new arrivals to Manchester and Salford I have curated a series of participatory collaborations from which diverse stories necessarily emerged. These collaborations are modeled on existing sensory modalities (Pink, 2009), creative and technological habits and preferred mobilities of the collaborators. Initially ascertaining the preferences of each collaborator, participants subsequently took the lead in designing creative responses to their new home city. Collaborations included engagements such as walking interviews, the recording of soundscape compositions, participatory photography and the generation of other artefacts.

Being a teacher means facing challenges that might be considerably different in various countries but the focus of teachers all over the world is becoming aware of current perspectives on children and childhood, while developing a critical relationship with the content of education and continuously curving their attitudes. Recent studies reveal that the impetus for change in Education is energetic and powerful. These new findings call for a new perspective on teacher training thus raising new questions on how the next generation of teachers should be trained. Children need new skills, considered vital to adapt to a world in constant change.
