Cybersecurity Engineering Program Description |
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Cybersecurity Engineering will provide the knowledge and skills for the development of cyber-resilient systems that include the protection of intended human users, hardware and accompanying computing devices, and the networks that connect them (i.e., the internet). The program requires a proactive approach in engineering the design of systems, with cybersecurity incorporated from the beginning of <br>system development. This program provides students with the currently rare combination of highly technical knowledge and skills, cybersecurity expertise, with a system engineering approach. Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design and manage complex systems over their life cycles. The CYSE program has a specific emphasis on securing Medical <br>Cyber-Physical Systems (MCPS). Degree recipients will be postured to fill most cybersecurity titles, which are in desperate demand today and for the foreseeable future. Graduates will be trained to work on emerging trends, designing, and developing <br>comprehensive trustworthy architectures to accommodate MCPS telecommunication and telemedicine devices. |
