Upon completion of the MS in Vehicle Cyber Engineering program, graduates will be able to: 

1. Identify, formulate, and solve electrical engineering problems in vehicular systems that involve automotive communication busses, Electronic Control Units (ECUs), and sensor/human interface technologies.
2. Perform risk assessment and threat analysis to vehicular cyber systems.
3. Develop cybersecurity solutions for embedded vehicle systems and distributed intra-vehicle networks.
4. Identify, formulate, and solve cybersecurity problems in the areas of vehicular networks, artificial intelligence, and supply chain.
5. Design comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for integrated vehicular systems or subsystems that span over multiple attack vectors.

Typical minimum requirements include an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 (or equivalent) and a bachelor's degree from an accredited university in Electrical Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Engineering (with a relevant focus), Computer Science, or a closely related discipline.  Applicants with cyber experience but who need additional technical knowledge to be successful in the master's-level courses, will be required to complete prerequisite courses or modules as part of a conditional admission.  These prerequisites will not advance a student toward his/her degree. Each applicant must also be approved by the department director/chair and the College of Engineering & Science dean's office.

Although the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not required, a strong score on the GRE will strengthen the application.

Students must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 both overall and in the program. Grades below "C" will not advance the student towards graduation. Students with the Vehicle Cyber Engineering Graduate Certificate may apply all the courses toward this master's degree.
