COURSE: WENG 270 Advanced Control Systems Cybersecurity Course

OBJECTIVE:  Apply basic cybersecurity principles to demonstrate how malicious code can impact control systems and other critical infrastructure.
DESCRIPTION:  This course presents hands-on education for civil engineers to understand the impact of cyber-attacks against control systems. Students engage in a series of lab exercises utilizing the Mobile Industrial Control System Security Trainer (MIST). The curriculum introduces students to ladder logic, human machine interfaces and basic networking principles that emulate a real-world control system. These lesson objectives are applied during the capstone exercise that illustrates how malicious code can create a physical effect on control systems.
