Abstract
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is known for being a “hands-on” school. However, skills learned inside the classroom must be applicable outside the classroom. The ERAU Cyber Defense Club is leading the charge in taking classroom knowledge to competitions and conferences nationwide. Members of the club have participated in national competitions in Tucson, San Francisco, Orlando, and online. Conferences, including RSA, prove essential to networking, learning about certifications and using industry tools. By attending these events, essential skills are developed which cannot be learned in a classroom. Networking, professionalism, and industry tools become second nature to students who attend these events with the club. As a result, multiple students have received job and internship offers for the summer of 2019. Having the opportunity to use skills taught inside the classroom in a productive and fun environment has made a big impact on the College of Security and Intelligence.
