Educational Structure Must take place within an existing
degree program Safeguards education integrated into
existing degree programs Engage undergraduate and graduate
students Engage faculty

Educational Opportunities Interest by agencies, national labs,
professional organizations and the private sector in safeguards education
Faculty conducting research in applicable areas
Applicable educational content available; need to think “outside-of-the-box”
![Page 7: Kathleen M. Trauth, Ph.D., P.E. Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56814958550346895db6ad3a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Undergraduate on the Way to Graduate
Develop interest (e.g., speakers) Link safeguards topics to the degree Electives (including co-listed courses) Minor/area of specialization may be
available Undergraduate research experience
as connection to graduate school

Take Aways Need to build up the infrastructure within
universities Leverage current research and courses Think broadly about what courses and
experiences constitute safeguards education
Continue working on “documenting” safeguards education
