As cybersecurity issues become ever more prevalent in today’s society, it is imperative that our computer science and engineering programs train students to work in cybersecurity fields. The University of Cincinnati’s Department Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, part of a NSA Center of Excellence, is developing a new B.S. in Cybersecurity Engineering which will be coordinated with cybersecurity programs in Information Technology and in Political Science. We describe our current cybersecurity certificate progran and our proposed new B.S. in Cybersecurity Engineering, which will meet the criteria to apply for ABET EAC accreditation.
