Creating a Profile "Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence"

for the Direction of FIIT Training Based on the Curriculum Approach

Abstract

The article describes the main characteristics of the profile "Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence" for the direction of training 02.03.02 Fundamental Informatics and Information Technology (FIIT). The concept and history of the creation of the basic direction of FIIT, its purpose as a multidisciplinary standard designed to train highly qualified IT professionals in a wide range of IT areas are considered. It is noted that FIIT meets modern trends in the development of IT and IT education, in particular, the spirit of the documents ComputingCurricula 2005 and ComputingCurricula 2020. The main principles of development and architecture of the code of knowledge of the curriculum of the discipline "Cybersecurity" are considered, on the basis of which the profile "Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence" is developed. A description of the general characteristics of this profile is given, including: goals, mission, professional competencies as expected learning outcomes.
