George Mason University’s Volgenau School of Engineering announces the creation of the Department of Cyber Security Engineering, the first of its kind in the country.

“The creation of the Cyber Security Engineering Department is timely as it not only meets Mason’s overall goal to contribute to and expand tech talent in the Northern Virginia region, but is a direct response for a specific type of worker to meet the growing cybersecurity demands nationwide,” said Provost and Executive Vice President S. David Wu.
“There is a national shortfall of personnel who are trained to handle the increasing numbers of cybersecurity issues and intrusions.

The curriculum will advance hardware and software security in such areas as health, finance, 5G cellular networks, supply chain, logistics, infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, smart cities and the internet of things.

“Graduates from the department will have broad expertise across all areas of cybersecurity in engineered systems, and will be able to design systems proactively that are resilient to cyber attacks,” Ball said.

Carnegie Mellon University announced it will offer a new master’s program in cybersecurity designed to address the growing need for IT security professionals in Washington D.C.

The new program, which is expected to launch in August 2020 is designed to tap into a new mix of students and early-career professionals, and connect those learners with top cybersecurity talent in the region, says an Edscoop report.

“We hear loud and clear the folks from both public and private sector entities here in the [National Capital Region] that there is a need and we’re working to fulfill that need.”
Students enrolled in CMU’s new cybersecurity program will first take a mixture of technical classes in risk management, information security, and data privacy to bring everybody up to a common level of technical understanding before diving into courses that focus on the business and people sides of cybersecurity, reports Edscoop.
