Bachelor of Engineering (Cyber Systems Engineering)

This program is built on the newly identified communication infrastructure engineering (cie) discipline, which is defined by the professional engineers of ontario (peo) council at a high level as the systems-level architecture, design, and management of trusted networks for mission-critical and safety-critical applications, including those that support other critical infrastructures.
