The Cybersecurity Engineering program at The Arab American University in Palestine is closely related to the Computer Engineering program, integrating fundamental and advanced concepts from both fields to prepare graduates for the evolving challenges in the tech industry. The program aims to prepare graduates for professional participation in multi-disciplinary fields in both industry and academia, focusing on cybersecurity. Graduates are expected to produce innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to meet national and international cybersecurity needs, demonstrate ethical and collaborative leadership, and continually develop their knowledge and expertise through professional opportunities and life-long learning.

The program equips students with the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex cybersecurity problems, apply secure engineering design principles, communicate effectively with diverse audiences, and function effectively in team environments. Graduates are trained to handle ethical and professional responsibilities, conduct and analyze experimentation, and continuously acquire new knowledge in the field. The program also emphasizes the importance of understanding theoretical foundations, developing secure software and hardware systems, managing cyber threats and incident responses, and integrating artificial intelligence in cybersecurity practices.
