This certificate presents an opportunity to students to learn about cybersecurity within the context of engineering and expand their understanding of the technology and policies in this area. A new generation of skilled engineers with training in cybersecurity is needed to address the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary challenges of this growing sector.
Students who complete the requirements of the certificate will receive a notation on their transcript upon graduation. The certificate is open to all undergraduate Engineering students.
The requirements for the certificate are the successful completion of the following three courses (1 mandatory, 2 elective courses):
