Description:

The Bachelor of Science degree in Cybersecurity Engineering prepares students with problem-solving skills and a resourceful mindset to tackle cybersecurity threats in engineering systems. The program provides students with a working knowledge of analysis and evaluation of components and systems with respect to security and maintaining operations in the presence of risks and threats, with an emphasis on engineered systems. Students gain the understanding and skills necessary to address security issues pertaining to stakeholder needs and requirements (from a system engineering perspective) considering the lifecycle of the system from the outset. Design and development of systems, their components and associated networks to increase trustworthiness is a driving concern.
