By August 2021, he expects the elective course to become available at high schools in Georgia. The teachers who run the class will be chosen on a school-by-school basis.
Mienie said the class will broadly examine areas of the field, including the development of U.S. intelligence; the field’s basic roles and functions; the different types of intelligence, collection methods and information; the ethical, moral and legal considerations of intelligence; and more.
“I want to attract students to my degree program, and more importantly, wet their appetite,” he said.
Mienie encourages high schoolers to take the course to “debunk the myth that intel is all about James Bond” and to become exposed to the field without commiting to a degree program.
By choosing this elective, Mienie said high schoolers can better understand if intelligence is something they want to pursue, while also getting a “leg up” on applicants for jobs in the field.
“It’s not restricted to federal jobs,” he said. “Multinational corporations like Coca-Cola or Microsoft, big global corporations have in-house intelligence capabilities as well.”
Mienie is no stranger to the intelligence field. He earned his doctorate in international conflict management, and he also served for four years in the South African National Defense Force, where he was deployed to Angola during the Angolan War in the 1980s.
At UNG, Mienie teaches several courses, including intelligence and counterterrorism, comparative military systems, U.S. intelligence community and others.
