Finding the right college means finding the right fit. See all that the College of Engineering and Computer Science has to offer by visiting campus.
Collaboration Opportunities
Cybersecurity is part of everything we do, and collaboration is important in moving this field forward. There are many areas on campus that work with cybersecurity. You can find some of them here.
Information Security
CyberSecurity Club
Association for Computing Machinery
The Wright State Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery is composed of undergraduate and graduate students with interests in all aspects of computers and information processing. The Student Chapter sponsors events such as lectures by distinguished speakers and site visits to technology companies. Club members have the opportunity to participate in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest and the ACM Student Research Competition.

Assured Digital Microelectronics Education & Training Ecosystem (ADMETE)
Leading a team of six Ohio academic institutions, Wright State University won an Air Force contract titled Assured Digital Microelectronics Education & Training Ecosystem (ADMETE). According to the Department of Defense, commercial state-of-the-art foundries for defense-related, application-specific integrated circuit development may not meet security and trusted computing requirements.
So the Air Force, under the direction of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, is working to ensure that microelectronics systems from commercial foundries are trusted, assured and protected. The effort applies to currently fielded microelectronics no longer in production, microelectronics in production, and next-generation cutting-edge microelectronics in development.
Meeting the demand requires a thriving workforce of digital design engineers with expertise in assured and trusted microelectronic systems. The Air Force says current academic programs across the country are not meeting this need.
To populate the pipeline, the Air Force plans to use innovative means in outreach and recruitment and forge close partnerships between institutions of higher education and regional employers.
