Computer Engineering as well as Computer Science degree programs areaccredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).Computer and Electrical Engineering Program’s Capstone CoursesOur computer and electrical engineering capstone courses serve as project-oriented courses.These required courses emphasize major hardware and software co-design. These coursessatisfy the ABET requirements for providing students with significant hands-on designexperience [18]. Our capstone courses are structured as a collection of open-ended independentstudent projects which are mutually selected by the faculty supervisors and student. It is shownthat this type of student-driven, open-ended project requires a great deal of instructor’sflexibility
not limited to, embedded technology, autonomoustechnology, edge and end-point technologies. Compared to cybersecurity in general, however,cyber engineering still requires further refinement in its curriculum coverage. The currentcurriculum for the cyber engineering program at our university is centered on cyber physicalsystems (CPS) and their security including device-level security, boot security, and attack-resilienthardware/middleware. As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well. To better facilitate hands-on learning in a curricularsetting, we have been developing a 1/5th-scale autonomous vehicle as a framework of cyberphysical systems for a set of cyber engineering

Even though the number offemale participants decreased from 2019 to 2022, the participating females reported they wereconfident, satisfied, and gained knowledge by the end of the program.
