Program Mission, Goals, and Outcomes

Program Mission

The Cybersecurity and Network Engineering associate degree program mission is to prepare students to pursue an entry-level career in Information Technology and prepare them to further their education in our Bachelor of Science degree program in Cybersecurity and Network Engineering.

Program Goals

1. Provide appropriate opportunities for the degree students to acquire knowledge, and applicable skills in handling computer networks and security issues. We aim to arm them with the professional attitude necessary to get started and function as entry-level security analysts, computer network engineering professionals, and IT professionals via experiential learning.
2. Introduce students to some of the objectives for various entry-level industry certifications and help prepare students to acquire those certifications.
3. Endeavor to cultivate each Cybersecurity and Network Engineering student’s ability to analyze security problems efficiently and correctly troubleshoot those problems.
4. Strive to instill in each degree student a sense of professional commitment and integrity for computer network security; to ensure they appreciate the importance of the security and privacy of clientele and information, the rights of copyright holders, and the inherent responsibilities of license users.
5. Provide an environment that encourages self-learning and the continuation of each associate degree student鈥檚 education beyond graduation to further each Cybersecurity and Network Engineering student鈥檚 ability to adapt to and incorporate new concepts, ideas, and evolving technologies.

Program Outcomes

Graduates of our AS in Cybersecurity and Network Engineering degree program will be able to:

1. Follow and meet the project plan’s objectives and recognize the need for adaptation, adjustments, and restructuring of the cybersecurity and network plan, both as an individual security professional, network administrator and in a team environment. Assessments use exams, performance reviews, projects, and reports.
2. Acquire proficiency with and provide support for security principles, computer hardware, operating systems, software, and Internet/network connectivity based on legacy, current, and state-of-the-art technologies.
3. Analyze digital evidence to determine user and intruder activity on networks and systems.
4. Demonstrate effective oral and written communications with supervisors, team members, and clients. In particular, these Cybersecurity and Network Engineering degree students should exhibit lucid, clear, and concise technical and professional communication and be able to communicate complex technical ideas in layman鈥檚 terms to non-technically trained people. This assessment is via reports, self-assessments, instructor observations, peer evaluations, and technical documentation.
5. Research, formulate, and critique security policies regarding the collection, preservation, safeguarding, and disposition of log data and personally identifiable information.

Cybersecurity and Network Engineering Courses

Over six terms, students learn the foundations of the discipline, including how to use programming languages like Python, HTML, and JavaScript. Information assurance, policy, compliance, and troubleshooting fundamentals ensure students graduate equipped to contend with contemporary cybersecurity problems.听

The capstone course allows students to showcase their work, while the internship experience in Term VI provides an opportunity for students to put what they鈥檝e learned into practice in a real-world setting.
