Abstract

The demand for specialized computer science degrees, particularly cybersecurity, has surged within educational institutions, presenting a significant challenge in the quest for well-qualified instructors. These emerging dynamics underscore the critical role of instructors in shaping and delivering relevant and comprehensive course experiences to mold adept security technologists. This chapter delves into the contemporary educational landscape, marked by the rapid expansion of the digital domain and an escalating need for cybersecurity professionals. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are at the epicenter of an imperative. To meet the burgeoning demand for cybersecurity expertise, they must cultivate a new generation of cybersecurity faculty and graduates equipped to navigate the challenges of the digital age. The chapter explores innovative faculty development approaches in cybersecurity, addressing the need for educators to align their teaching with industry practices and equip students with the skills to thrive in this dynamic field.
