Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Mobilize a structured body of specialized scientific and technical knowledge and skills, enabling you to respond with expertise and adaptability to the missions of the civil engineer in IT and Management with a focus on Cybersecurity and Forensics for the Internet of Everything.
• Master and mobilize knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to cybersecurity, the Internet of Things (IoT) and ubiquitous computing (IoE), depending on the problem to be solved.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade customers, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Use and produce scientific and technical documents (reports, plans, specifications) adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Construct a theoretical or conceptual reference framework, formulate innovative solutions from the analysis of scientific literature, particularly in new or emerging disciplines.
• Develop and implement conceptual analysis, numerical modelling, software implementations, experimental studies and behavioural analysis.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Actively maintain scientific and technological developments in the field of cybersecurity

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

This course has an yearly evolving content. A first part will have as main theme the development of solutions providing both extensible and secure systems, at both host-level and network-level. Privacy aspects will also be discussed.

The course's content will depend on the evolution of cybersecurity-related technologies and may be influenced by students' interests (voir S-INFO-444 for more details).

A part of the UE is dedicated to scientific litterature analysis in that area, through the participation in a seminar.

Prior Experience

Basic knowledge of computer systems and network protocols such as TCP is a plus.

The S-INFO-044 AA is a pre-requisite (or should be taken in parallel).

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q2 UE assessment

• Production (written work, report, essay, collection, product, etc.) - To be submitted in class
• Oral examination - Face-to-face
• Oral presentation - Face-to-face
• Seminar participation - Face-to-face

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Oral exam + project(s) + seminar

The exact grade ponderation is specified during the first lecture.

Note that any intellectual infringement (such as plagiarism or AI usage infringing the UMONS charter), even for a part of the works, will lead to a final grade of 0 for the course.

Type(s) and mode(s) of Q3 UE assessment

• Production (written work, report, essay, collection, product, etc.) - To be submitted in class
• Oral examination - Face-to-face

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Only oral exams + project(s) . The seminar part cannot be redone (grades are the one obtained during Q2).
