This talk will discuss the lessons learned from a project put in place by Nova Southeastern University (NSU), College of Computing and Engineering in collaboration with the Miami-Dade Public Schools (MDCPS) on a dual-enrollment program for high-school students from minority and underserved schools throughout the Miami-Dade district. The project allowed support for two entry-level Computer Science courses at the ABET CS program (under the Advanced Academics division at the school district) with additional extra-curricular activities (under the Career and Technology Education (CTE) division at the school district) focused on cybersecurity certificate using TestOut platform to prep the students outside the course for CompTIA Security+. The session will discuss the steps taken to address the course registration process, legal issues that the university faced and how we overcome those, along with coordination for advertising of the courses, student recruitment and continuous support for the enrolled students.
