ALPHA Observatory
The ALPHA Observatory is a unique asset to our Astronautical Engineering Program students. Located on-campus, ALPHA offers students hands-on experience with observatory equipment and space research operations.
Center of Academic Safety Excellence (CASE)
The Center of Academic Safety Excellence is focused on equipping future safety professionals with the academic and practical mastery to pursue lucrative careers in occupational health and safety.
Center of Cybersecurity Research and Analysis (CCRA)
The Center for Cybersecurity Research and Analysis serves as the university hub for training, research, analysis, and programming in all things cybersecurity. Learn to defeat simulated cyberattacks, land an internship where you can put your skills to work and prepare for the workforce, publish a scholarly article addressing an existing challenge in the field, and much more. Students-both on-ground and online-faculty, alumni, and community partners alike are welcome.
As one of the first schools in the nation to be designated a National Center of Excellence in Cyber Defense by the Department of Homeland Security and National Security Agency, Capitol Technology University stands ready to advance the field and do its part to combat one of the nation’s greatest challenges.
Center of Excellence in Construction Management (CECM)
The Center of Excellence in Construction Management is committed to preparing a new generation of leaders and innovators in the field of construction management by focusing on developing practical skills, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, and fostering industry partnerships.
Space Flight Operations Training Center (SFOTC)
The SFOTC, formerly the Space Operations Institute (SOI), was established at Capitol in 2003 with a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The SOI provides support for educational programs that prepare students for careers in the aerospace industry. Through the SOI and its resources, students gain experience in satellite mission operations and planning, and in developing and operating a picosatellite ground system.
In 2017, the Space Flight Operations Training Center (SFOTC) was established as part of the SOI, with sponsorship from the Hammers Company. This unique resource utilizes state-of-the-art flight simulation and telemetry software, enabling students to gain hands-on training in real time.
Students enrolled at Capitol may apply for an industry sponsored or internal university SOI internship. Industry sponsored student interns work at NASA, the employer’s facility, or on campus. The SOI interns have worked on the James Webb Telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland among other missions.
STEM Outreach Center
The STEM Outreach Center provides hands-on education and workforce development experiences for students in secondary and post-secondary schools and those who support them in achieving leadership careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
The Center seeks to educate and develop the future leaders of STEM career fields through utilizing space science, astronomy and other related areas of study at Capitol Technology University to engage students.
Working at the local, regional, and national levels, the Center will:
- provide hands-on educational experiences for middle school, high school, community college and college students to both introduce them to STEM fields and continue to expand their interest in these fields as possible career choices and
- support the dissemination of information regarding STEM workforce and leadership opportunities.
Security Operations Center (SOC)
The Security Operations Center is the facility that houses the university’s information security team responsible for monitoring and analyzing Capitol Tech’s security posture on an ongoing basis. The SOC team’s goal is to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents using a combination of technology solutions and a strong set of processes.
Center for Women in Cyber (CWC)
The Center for Women in Cyber empowers women of all ages to pursue cyber careers. Through presentations, hands-on activities and mentoring, the CWC community provides direction, encouragement, and support to the next generation of cyber leaders.
Critical Infrastructure Center (CIC)
Capitol Technology University is the first university to educate students in degree areas combining operations training of critical infrastructure facilities; critical information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) which can be vulnerable to cyber attacks, especially when coupled; the industrial internet of things (IIOT); and the cybersecurity needed to protect these facilities. The Critical Infrastructure Center (CIC) is Capitol Tech’s hub of Critical Infrastructure (CI) and CI education.
