Building Capacity at Minority Serving Institutions

Objective/Purpose

This project advances capabilities of the future homeland security enterprise (HSE) workforce by providing training in STEM-focused technology, big data, visualization, data analytics, and disaster response to students in SDSU’s Homeland Security Graduate Program. In particular, the team focuses on research projects that can motivate MSI graduate students to pursue HSE careers.

Methodology

This team focuses their teaching and research on real-world HSE problems such as drug smuggling, trafficking, and terrorism and targeted extremism. They do this through a combination of class offerings and supervised research projects (e.g., theses) that enable students to apply STEM and big data approaches to existing publicly available datasets. In Year 2, they are re-designing the current homeland security classes to align with the DHS 2019 Strategy, 2020 Public Action Plan, and the 2020 CBP 2021-2026 Strategy.
