ABSTRACT
Ongoing work with industry and educational representatives has voiced a strong need for more specific training on logistics security at all levels in the logistics workforce, as well as relevant, practical materials based on best practices and industry experiences. This project expands existing curricula to include more advanced topics and continuing education in direct response to industry demand and furthers collaborative efforts with other institutions. Working extensively with industry partners, this project is developing targeted learning materials that focus on the various strategies and best practices used to safely and securely transfer goods from the manufacturer to the consumer. Planned learning materials include curriculum modules, case studies and classroom exercises that focus on applied logistics and logistics security. Faculty from two other colleges are involved to identify and document relevant, comprehensive case and classroom exercise scenarios that enhance the learning experience by providing real-world, level-of-experience appropriate examples for students. These learning materials are being integrated into an existing logistics degree and certificate program. The dissemination of the developed materials, to other adopters who desire to use them in similar programs, is web-based. Curriculum modules focused on industry best practices in secure logistics is based on discussions with local and statewide transportation authorities, and in addition to being added to the existing program curricula and web-based resources, it is made available to local and statewide industry members for educating management as well as workers at all levels of the organization.

In addition to tne case studies, a report "An Enquiry into Experiences, Funding, and Best Practices in Port Security in Washington and Oregon' was developed.
A course "Logistics Security" was also developed and added to the Logistics curriculum previously developed under an earlier related grant.
All seventeen case studies, the report on Port Security, as well as all of the coursework completed by this and the previous related grant were catalogued at NSF ATE Central making them available to users of this online library. In the first year of the availability of the case studies, report, and curriculum through ATE Central, 65 downloads were reported.
