Student Outcomes:

The students of BS Cyber Security program are expected to attain the following outcomes by the time of graduation.

1. SO1: Apply knowledge of computing fundamentals, mathematics, cybersecurity principles, information technology, and relevant domain knowledge to solve complex cybersecurity problems.
2. SO2: Identify, formulate, research, and analyze complex cybersecurity problems using appropriate principles of computing, information security, mathematics, and relevant domain disciplines.
3. SO3: Design, implement, and evaluate secure computing systems, networks, applications, and cybersecurity solutions that meet specified requirements while considering security, privacy, safety, and societal needs.
4. SO4: Select, adapt, and apply appropriate cybersecurity tools, techniques, programming environments, security frameworks, and computational resources while understanding their capabilities and limitations.
5. SO5: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader of diverse and multidisciplinary teams to accomplish cybersecurity projects and organizational objectives.
6. SO6: Communicate effectively with cybersecurity professionals, technical and non-technical stakeholders, and society through technical reports, security documentation, presentations, incident reports, and clear written and verbal communication.
7. SO7: Analyze and evaluate the societal, legal, regulatory, economic, cultural, privacy, safety, and environmental implications of cybersecurity practices and technologies in local and global contexts.
8. SO8: Apply ethical principles, professional responsibilities, legal requirements, privacy principles, and responsible security practices in the identification, prevention, investigation, and mitigation of cybersecurity threats.
9. SO9: Recognize the need for and demonstrate the ability to engage in independent and continuous learning to remain current with emerging cybersecurity threats, technologies, tools, standards, and professional practices.
10. SO10: Conduct systematic cybersecurity research, experimentation, vulnerability analysis, and critical evaluation to develop innovative security solutions and contribute to the advancement of cybersecurity knowledge and practice.

The GAs provides graduates with the basis for attaining PEOs during their professional tenure. The broader defined PEOs were decomposed into more measurable and achievable GAs related to PEOs.

PEO-SO Mapping:

The student outcomes are mapped with the program educational objectives so that if we achieve the program learning outcomes, the program educational objectives would be considered to have been completed. The mapping of SOs with PEOs is mentioned in Table. Teaching different curriculum courses could achieve the program’s learning outcomes. As mentioned later, all these courses are related to the program learning outcome. Each course has multiple course learning outcomes. Suppose the learning outcome of the course is achieved. In that case, the respective program learning outcome will be achieved, and ultimately, by attaining the program learning outcomes, we will accomplish the program’s educational objectives.
