Detroit Mercy\u2019s Vehicle Cyber Engineering (VCE) program is designed to meet the growing demand to expand and enhance the cybersecurity engineering workforce. The 100% online applied curriculum was developed in consultation with industry and military leaders, providing opportunities for engineers and computer science professionals with the upskilling and reskilling needed to enhance their career and to bring\u00a0 increased value to their employers.<\/span><\/p>\n

This program is also part of the\u00a0<\/span>Metro Detroit Regional Vehicle Cybersecurity Institute, a regional cybersecurity consortium established in 2021 through a $1.12-million award from the United States Department of Defense (DoD).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re awarding multiple full-tuition scholarships to educate professionals who can counteract cybersecurity threats,\u201d said Paul Spadafora, UDM\u2019s director of Professional Engineering Programs. \u201cThis program provides hands-on training to increase the field\u2019s professional workforce and reduce the cybersecurity risk to the Department of Defense and commercial ground vehicles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, there is significant demand within the field of vehicle cyber engineering. Detroit Mercy\u2019s history of working with industry partners in developing applied programs in emerging fields supported the development of this 15-credit VCE graduate certificate.\u00a0 The VCE graduate certificate can be completed in one year and also stacks toward a master\u2019s degree in Vehicle Cyber Engineering, Product Development, or Technical Management.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Electrical Module Systems I work on at Ford Motor Company have many security requirements,\u201d said Victor Carpenter, an electrical engineer currently enrolled in the program. \u201cHaving the knowledge provided by Detroit Mercy\u2019s Vehicle Cyber Engineering program absolutely aids in my ability to understand requirements and contributes to the most secure and efficient design.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
