Regional Project: Cal Poly, Northrop Grumman, Parsons, Raytheon

Cal Poly is leveraging its “Learn by Doing” approach—undergraduate hands-on opportunities and immersion in engineering—and its large undergraduate engineering base (80 laboratories) to establish a cybersecurity undergraduate program. The initiative consists of a new undergraduate-focused cybersecurity laboratory supporting a new curriculum and student-driven applied research projects, and a graduate-level certificate program to attract a more diverse group of students to the high-demand field of cybersecurity. Industry partners are deeply involved in the design of the program.

Interventions: student-driven research, course redesign
