UNT's Center for Cyber and AI Security (CCAS) (formerly known as the Center for Information and Cyber Security), led by computer science and engineering professor Ram Dantu, was named a winner in the annual Innovation Awards presented by D CEO and Dallas Innovates. The center was recognized in the Innovation in Education category and was the only higher education entity represented in the category. The project that earned the award is called Microtranscript, a work-skills readiness tool. The program breaks down students' coursework to highlight specific skills learned and how students performed in each area. Dantu says the program will help interns in computer science and engineering start contributing more quickly when hired.
