The proposed program enables the students to build solid technical foundation in cybersecurity engineering. During the study, students take courses on essential computer engineering topics and courses on data breaches, software and hardware vulnerabilities and possible solutions to improve security of various computer systems from cyberattacks. In the final year, students will develop senior capstone projects in line with the latest industry needs for building cyber-resilient systems. Senior students are required to perform practical training in industrial or governmental organization to improve their understanding of cybersecurity risks in real work environment and the measures to mitigate them.
Career paths for this program include roles such as computer systems or network designers, digital system designers, IT security officers, embedded integrated circuit designers, and software and web developers. Additionally, graduates can explore opportunities in artificial intelligence, designing models to solve complex engineering problems.
