Concentration in Computer Engineering Cybersecurity

The Computer Engineering Cybersecurity Concentration (CYBR) is offered to entering students who declare the concentration on admissions forms or who demonstrate good academic performance in foundation courses, and wish to expand their education with an emphasis on cyber security concerns; assessment of the impact of new or existing cyber threat products or processes; methods for solving problems resulting from cyber attacks on embedded systems; data storage, control, subsystem communications; Internet of Things, and smart and connected cities. Students interested in the concentration can declare the concentration at time of admission or later in their academic career. Those students declaring the concentration later in their academic career must attain a grade of C or better in ECE 256 (Foundations of Cyber Security: Hardware, Software, and Information Systems) to be eligible to apply for the concentration. Qualified students should apply no later than the end of spring semester of their Sophomore year. Students pursuing the concentration must secure at least a grade of C in each elective course in the concentration for the latter to appear on the transcript of record.

The CYBR Concentration consists of two core courses and two elective courses.
