CYCS 4920 - Cybersecurity Capstone 2

This course is the second of a capstone project sequence required for all Cybersecurity majors. Student teams complete an existing project by implementing code, configuring systems, or assessing activities according to a previous design. They produce a testing plan, carry out testing, record test results, and summarize them. Prototype demonstrations and periodic progress reports are required to help assure steady progress. Individuals and teams produce a variety of documents throughout the course. These documents include a testing plan, a testing log, a summary of testing, a maintenance manual and a user manual. Discussion of current social and ethical issues related to individual projects and Cybersecurity in general will be integrated into the course. Project management techniques and computer simulated solutions are formally presented to emphasize team dynamics and management skills. This course meets the student learning outcomes in the WMU Essential Studies Level 3: Connections, Local and National Perspectives Course Category.
