Summary	Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are employed in practically every modern infrastructure. They are networked for ease of management, yet they are surprisingly vulnerable to a wide variety of local and trans-network attacks. Few students learn about ICS in their college and university classes, because the technology associated with ICS is complex and educational materials are not readily accessible for easy incorporation into courses. The proposed effort will address this problem by creating the material needed to teach two courses, one on the technical security aspects of ICS and the other on ICS security management. In addition, this work will result in detailed directions and documentation for functional ICS teaching laboratory. Self-contained ICS lab exercises will build on an existing lab-tailoring framework designed to support per student parameterization and easy faculty assessment of student performance. This combination of curriculum elements can be customized by faculty in their own curricula. It will jump start education in ICS security, promote individualized hands-on learning, and provides mechanisms to facilitate long-term education in ICS.
