Securing the Devices of Tomorrow

The Graduate Certificate in Safety and Security of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems provides knowledge of cyber-physical safety and security strategies arising from modern, advanced system control networks and interconnected system complexes. The Departments of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics and Electrical and Computer Engineering established an interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate in Safety and Security of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems. 

Demonstrate an understanding the cyber-safety and security issues for vehicles and interconnected systems, apply that understanding to analyze and synthesize safe and secure cyber-physical systems, and effectively work at the intersection of cybersecurity and safety of autonomous systems. Demonstrate competencies in the hierarchical design, control, and integration of technologies into cyber-physical components and systems including modern networked and autonomous mobile systems for land, air, and water.
