Security Technology: A New Field in Engineering Curriculum

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Security of information as well as physical resources has become a crucial component in research and development.A significant amount of research interests and grants has been dedicated towards development of strong, efficient and robust security techniques and systems where both the academic institutions and industries have been involved actively.The computer or information security systems have been incorporated in several engineering and computer science curriculum.However, there has not been enough progress in developing an engineering curriculum dedicated to security technologies.The objective of this paper is to propose a new engineering and technology curriculum on security technologies which will introduce the students to different types of digital and physical techniques employed to maintain the security and privacy of any physical resources.Different algorithms and systems will be included in the program to deal with cryptographic techniques, biometrics, image processing concepts and hardware implementations.The curriculum will train the students on audio and video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, forensic analysis and other advanced techniques that are useful to military and federal agencies as well as industrial organizations.
