O que eu aprenderei?

Computer technology plays a crucial role in every aspect of our lives in communication, sharing of data, payments, and bank transactions. All institutions from government to private sector rely on IT services and are under threat of cyber terrorist attacks. The cyber-attacks increase rapidly, become more and more frequent and sophisticated, because of this the demand for cybersecurity professionals exceeds the supply.

Our program has been designed to give students the skills needed to meet this growing demand, including how to handle security incidents, identify new and existing threats, and determine methods to minimize them. After successful completion of the program a job as a cyber-security specialist is practically guaranteed.

Program Learning Outcomes

The student will be able to:

(a) Acquire the skill set necessary for detecting cyber security threats and predicting their impact should they strike.

(b) Develop secure and resilient mechanisms for the protection of computer networks and software.

(c) Defend against cyberattacks when they occur, minimize their impact, and assess the damage done

(d) Utilize effective current security tools and appliances to manage and secure the operations of cyber resources and their services.

(e) Communicate the current security posture of the organization and develop a plan to identify vulnerabilities and how to address them.

Mode of Delivery and Assessments

The method of teaching follows the standard classroom model in which the primary mode of instruction is lectures, laboratory experiments, and engagement with students through discussion.

Engineering disciplines require strong mathematics skills. Assessments (in-class examinations, homework and individual and team projects) will focus on those skills. In general, grades will be assigned based on performance on those assessments.
