Grooming students for entry-level cybersecurity positions, the programme exposes students to the principles and practices of digital and cybersecurity. It aims to equip students with analytical and technical skills necessary in the areas of network security, software security and digital forensics such as installing and configuring critical software, monitoring networks, responding to cyber attacks, assessing threats, and finding and fixing vulnerabilities. Graduates of the programme will become cybersecurity specialists who are capable of helping their organisations to secure computer and network resources as well as critical and sensitive information.

The educational objectives of the Bachelor of Computer Engineering with Honours programme are to facilitate students to become:

PEO1    Graduates who are able to apply engineering knowledge, understanding and practical skills to produce quality services to agencies, organizations, industries and institutions locally and globally.

​

PEO2    Graduates who are able to find solutions to complex problems within and across disciplines through effective communicative abilities.

​

PEO3    Graduates who are able to continuously upgrade their knowledge, understanding, professional ethic and ability to create business opportunities for agencies, organizations, industries and institutions locally and globally.

STATEMENT OF POs
