The Department of EECS offers a Certificate of Advanced Study in Systems Assurance (CASSA), established in concert with the Systems Assurance Institute. The courses cover the wide spectrum of system assurance, including the theoretical foundations, the synthesis of assured software and hardware, and the deployment of large-scale systems.

This CASSA fits within the scope of the computer engineering (CE) and computer science (CS) master’s programs. To receive this certificate, students must be enrolled in either the CE or the CS program and be accepted into the certificate program.

Students who receive this certificate will have developed a broad background in security and information assurance, distinguishing themselves by their ability to:

  • analyze, synthesize, and make judgments based on engineering and computer science principles; and
  • use analytical techniques to evaluate the implications of policies, standards, and procedures; the ramifications of changes; and the potential dangers of refinements.

The curriculum for the CASSA ensures that students who successfully complete this certificate achieve the following three educational outcomes:

  1. Students comprehend the concepts underlying security and system assurance.
  2. Students can apply those concepts to construct assured systems.
  3. Students can critically analyze and evaluate systems’ conformance to their requirements.
