Computer forensics workshop for undergraduate students
Bem, D. and Huebner, E.
This paper describes our experience in the design and
implementation of a computer forensics specialisation for
the Bachelor of Computer Science degree and its
capstone subject Computer Forensics Workshop. Our
motivation for introducing this specialisation was to
respond to the growing demand for professional services
in computer forensics by the government and industry as
well as to attract undergraduate students back to
computing. Computer forensics is an emerging
multidisciplinary field with foundations in computer
science and law, and academically it is best positioned as
a stream in general computer science degrees. The
capstone subject in the specialisation, Computer
Forensics Workshop, is practically oriented with a
substantial laboratory component. The subject is taught
by a team of academics, each contributing their expert
knowledge in operating systems, file systems, network
security and cryptography. The aim is to prepare the
students to enter the job market as a professional
computer forensics specialist, either in a law enforcement
agency or a business organisation relying on computer
information systems. |
