AB  - Digital transformation caused rapid automation and lots of changes in many sectors of the modern life. Unfortunately, the changes have been followed by cyber threats. Today, the actual types of cyber threat types cannot be counted easily as there is a wide variety of risk factors expanding still. There is an increased frequency of cyber threats in critical infrastructures and across all application sectors. Further, Artificial Intelligence expands this threat landscape to another new level by integrating sophisticated ways (e.g., automated coding, deep fakes, social engineering) of manipulating or exploiting humans, systems or networks.   There is immediate need to train the next generation cyber security workforce pipeline to address this skill gap in cyber security. Educational Institutions have some cyber programs, but they are not designed with a robust and well-rounded curriculum that accommodates engineering, computer science, psychology, mathematics, sociology, and management. This could be due to various factors such as lack of resources such as attracting diverse faculty expertise, lab infrastructures, funding challenges, targeted student types, and size of the department. Most cyber programs reside in computer science (CS), computer engineering or electrical engineering (EE) departments. This paper focuses on designing one cyber security undergraduate curriculum that attracts both EE and CS students that leverages existing courses in departments where both EE and CS majors are housed as one School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (SEECS). The proposed curriculum can be also suitable for schools that have these departments housed separately. Additionally, the proposed program satisfies both ABET criteria for EAC/CSAB.
