Summary of the Profile

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: The objective of the Cyber Systems and Security study programme – to train the graduates that acquire professional higher education in the field of informatics engineering. They are competitive on the labour market and acquire professional competencies to design, install and administer cyber systems (further referred to as CS), to maintain hardware and software of the systems, to administer services and serve the users in order to ensure the quality of the services, to plan, coordinate, and implement information security measures, to supervise a group of persons during the implementation of the activities related to design, installation and operation of cyber security technology, and to assess engineering solutions with respect to ethic, legal, social, economic, and safety aspects. Graduates are able to apply professional knowledge for solving engineering tasks and problems, and to work individually and in a team or in a multicultural environment. The aim of the specialization „Administration of Cyber physical Systems and IoT“ is to train the person competent to perform the work as an administrator of systems, capable of organizing and executing smooth, continuous and secure work of computer network physical systems (further cyber-physical systems) and internet of things (further IoT), application servers and databases. The aim of the specialization „Cyber Security“ is to train the person competent to perform the work as an administrator of systems and specialist of cyber-security, capable of installing, developing, maintaining the cyber security technologies of information systems and computer networks. Learning outcomes: Knowledge and its application 1. To understand the conceptual basics of informatics engineering and to be able to apply this knowledge in designing and implementing of institutional cyber systems. 2. Knowledge about the particularities of information and communication technologies (further ICT) and abilities of installation, adjustment, and configuration of equipment of ICT systems taking into account the requirements given in specifications. 2.1. To know about technologies of cyber-physical systems and IoT and be able to apply this knowledge for realization of the tasks or functions of the specific control systems. 2.2. To know about newest technologies of cybersecurity, their structure and assessment methodology of security and be able to apply this knowledge. 3. Knowledge of engineering planning, methods of organization, legal and regulatory documents governing human and occupational safety and cyber security. Research Abilities 4. Application of research methods – analysis of sources of information and documentation, visualization, computer simulation and practice tests, and to analyse the functional and technical organization of cyber systems requirements and interpret data and formulate conclusions. 5. Choosing the appropriate research methods to analyse the needs of organization’s ICT system and installation conditions and to create the specifications of technical requirements.

5.1. To analyse and evaluate the structure, processes and technical requirements for cyber-physical system and IoT system, and to design the requirements specification. 5.2. To analyse and evaluate the requirements for cybersecurity, and to design the requirements specification. 6. Economical and financial substantiation of cyber system project, responsibility for the impact of one’s own activities and their impact on the society, economic prosperity and environment. Special abilities 7. Self-dependent selection of information and communication technologies and services, their combination and preparation of project description and drawings. 8. Planning and organisation of installation works of services and various equipment of cyber systems, decision making and correction of activities with respect to activity analysis and recommendations of specialists. 9. Analysis and state assessment of hardware and software of cyber systems. 9.1. To administer the performance of cyber-physical systems and IoT, to identify operational and safety problems and develop proposals for their solution. 9.2. To recognize information systems and computer networks cybersecurity problems and develop proposals for their solution. 10. Assurance of stable operation of cyber system equipment, identification of faults and their elimination. 11. Administration of services and serving the users in order to ensure the quality of services. Social skills 12. Planning and organisation of engineering activities, usage of legislation and regulation documents for making decisions related to the operation, and responsibility for the quality of one’s own work and for the one of the subordinated persons. 13. Working individually and in a team or a multicultural environment collegially and following professional ethics. Personal skills 14. Unfolding of professional knowledge and improvement of professional abilities through self-study and planning of the learning process. 15. Be responsible for their activities and their impact on the results of social and economic well-being. Activities of teaching and learning: Interactive theory lectures – explanation during lectures along with analysis of practical examples, demonstration of method application, discussion, seminar, group-work, problem-based learning, and case analysis. Practices in computer classrooms, laboratory and practical works, solving of practical tasks, interactive solving of tasks, analysis of drawings, laboratory works in a virtual laboratory, report of laboratory and practical work, practical test tasks, application of knowledge about the limits of laboratory equipment application. Execution of project – consultation, self-study, work report, presentation and defence. Self-study – report, presentation, demonstration, self-check tests, self-study of scientific literature. Methods of assessment of learning achievements:

Students’ subject learning outcomes are assessed using criteria ten-point assessment scheme. Assessment procedure, assessment system and assessment criteria are based on the principles of consistency, reliability, clarity, usefulness and impartiality. For the assessment of student’s study subject achievement, accumulative (learning outcomes are assessed by means of intermediate knowledge assessments) or collegial (in case of graduation paper, students are examined by a competent commission consisting of scientists, professional trainees, and representatives of social partners) assessment is used.
