Computer Science bootcamps
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is excited to offer summer continuing education courses. These intensive mini bootcamps cover various fields, helping participants expand their knowledge and gain new skills. We now offer specialized courses in Cybersecurity, Practical Programming and Computing, and Cloud Computing.
The week-long sessions are held from Monday-Friday. Each class will be recorded, and the recordings will be available, to ensure that participants can access them if they miss a class or want to review any of the sessions.
Please see below for more details.
Cybersecurity
This course provides an overview of the field of cybersecurity with emphasis on fundamental concepts, e.g., private-key encryption, public-key encryption and security protocols, as well as hot topics, e.g., secure computations, digital currencies, and blockchain. Students will learn the basics of security and applied cryptography. They will be exposed to various applications of security protocols in different domains, such as privacy in auctions and blockchain in supply chain. The course will broaden the participants view of the field of cybersecurity, allowing a better understanding of its foundations, applications, and implications, and motivating students to learn more about the topic. The course will expose students with concepts, tools and applications in a rapidly expanding field. Students who know cybersecurity have been proven to be in high demand in various sectors of the economy.
