About this Project
Out of the Classroom and into the World is an applied course work project that focuses on taking the innovative ideas that have been forged in the CHDS Master’s program and making them available to the national homeland security community. This section of our website shows how course work and thesis research at the center can translate directly into practice, or offer innovative approaches for consideration. The goal of the applied coursework project is to illuminate and share the innovations that are produced and conceptualized within the CHDS classrooms to promote further collaboration between local, state, tribal, federal and military agencies. The pilot course for this project is the Technology for Homeland Security course taught by lead instructor Richard Bergin and Robert Josefek. Other types of projects generated at the Center will be featured in the near future and will include theses as well as faculty/student and alumni collaboration efforts.
