The Electrical & Computer Engineering Department offers a bachelor's degree in computer engineering with a concentration in cybersecurity

With the expanding threat of cyber attacks, cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing fields in computer engineering

As a concentration within UMassD's computer engineering major, the program of study will explore the foundations of cybersecurity—including hardware, software, and information systems—as well as contemporary issues in software reliability, security risk, internet of things, and smart and connected cities.

The course work will cover:

• computer forensics: detection and prevention of digital criminal activity; ethical and legal issues in the collection, analysis, and reporting of digital data
• cyber threats and security management: trustworthy systems, security life cycles, social engineering, risk assessment
• design and implementation: real-time embedded resource management systems
• network security: defense of network resources, cryptography, models
