Innovative Education in Cyber Security Field Through Collaborative Education

Abstract

This paper proposes an innovative education model as a new curriculum framework. Due of multiplicity of variables we adopted an interdisciplinary dialogue with academic expert and professional from various companies especially in cyber security field. This interaction shown that there is a lack between universities and industrial sector regarding the current education system based on academic pattern, more particularly in cyber security domain. Indeed, the rapid change in the industry field and new technologies requirement are having a serious lateness effect on the education system. Therefore, it is pushing companies to train new recruits by themselves, creating a deaf dialogue between academic and industry actors. This paper gives a rapid overview of cooperative education patterns through different models and international cooperative education experiences across the world. After appropriate adjustment and understanding of the local context, we produced a new pedagogical organization for the master in cyber security; this implementation was particularly designed to involve both students and employees. A local company was involved during the whole process of the implementation and the future pilot project.
