2014 PCAP Student Summer Research Program
The PCAP Student Summer Research Program provides an opportunity for community college students to join a cybersecurity-related research team at Pace University’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. The purpose of this program is to connect community college students with Pace faculty through research experience in cybersecurity. Each student will be paired with a research team for a period of one month. The research teams will focus on one of the following areas: biometrics, web application security, and mobile forensics.
Students who are currently enrolled in a two-year college program are eligible to apply for this program. Accepted students will be invited to visit Pace and to meet the research teams during the month of May. Throughout May, each student will work with his/her research team on a specific assignment. The project will involve 4 to 6 working meetings on the Pace campus, as well as independent work with advisement from faculty in the student’s respective research team. The student is expected to produce a research project report at the end of the summer research program.
