COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Cyber Engineering at Gannon University, offered through the College of Engineering and Business, is designed to equip students with the knowledge and technical abilities needed to address complex engineering and cybersecurity challenges. One of the primary learning outcomes of the program is the development of students’ ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems using principles from engineering, science, and mathematics. Through coursework and practical experiences, students learn how to apply analytical thinking and technical knowledge to design and improve secure technological systems.The program also emphasizes engineering design and its application to real-world needs. Students learn to develop solutions that consider not only technical performance but also factors such as public health, safety, and welfare. In addition, they evaluate the broader impact of engineering solutions by considering global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic influences. This approach ensures that graduates understand the responsibilities that come with designing technologies used in diverse communities and industries.Communication and collaboration are also essential components of the program. Students learn to communicate technical ideas clearly and effectively to a wide range of audiences, including engineers, managers, and non-technical stakeholders. They also gain experience working in teams where members contribute leadership, support collaborative and inclusive environments, and organize tasks in order to achieve shared objectives. These teamwork experiences prepare students for professional engineering environments where cooperation and coordination are essential.Another important learning outcome focuses on experimentation and data analysis. Students develop the ability to design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and apply engineering judgment to draw meaningful conclusions. In addition, the program encourages continuous learning by teaching students how to acquire and apply new knowledge using effective learning strategies. This prepares graduates to adapt to rapidly evolving technologies and emerging cyber threats. Together, these outcomes ensure that graduates are prepared for professional engineering careers or advanced study in cyber engineering and related fields.
