Cyber Security (UNDER GRADUATION(MINOR))

About Cyber Security (UNDER GRADUATION(MINOR))

The Department of Information Technology of GMIU offers cyber physical systems and security. With the fourth industrial revolution upon us, physical systems are being designed to have a cyber component, that enables remote access, monitoring and control. In these systems, ubiquitous sensing, and advanced data management capability are taking us from automation to autonomy via a deep interconnection between the cyber and physical entities. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming abundant in many application sectors including manufacturing, energy, health care, transportation and agriculture. Safety-, time- and life-critical systems are relying on CPS concepts to become more efficient, robust, resilient, flexible and scalable. As CPS applications become more pervasive, students with a background in CPS will be in demand to design, produce and maintain these systems. As you work toward your cyber engineering degree, you’ll learn how to:  Analyze a simple physical process and develop a mathematical model that describes it  Develop a feedback control system that controls a simple physical process  Solve a computational problem by selecting appropriate data structures and algorithms  Select the hardware (sensors, actuators, controllers, etc.) for a Cyber-Physical System  Develop the embedded system software that manages Cyber-Physical System hardware  Assess and improve the reliability and security of a simple Cyber-Physical System  Integrate feedback control, algorithms, and hardware to implement a Cyber-Physical System With this motivation and encouraged by the demand from the industry stakeholders this CPS minor will focus on sensing, advanced information processing (data analytics and machine learning), and controls aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems. Specific CPS application sectors such as energy/power systems, manufacturing, biomedical devices, autonomous systems, transportation, and agriculture will be in focus.
