Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

This program provides required skills and competencies in the combined fields of computers, communications, and information technology. It will also help develop an understanding of the underlying concepts and their applications.

Graduates of this program may engage in the design, development, implementation, maintenance, and management of computer systems through the knowledge gained in the study of computer hardware and software, and their interdependencies in the areas of digital systems, computer architecture, microprocessors, data communications, computer networks, operating systems, and computer programming using machine-level and high-level languages.

Program Educational Objectives (P.E.O.s)

Within the five years after graduation, the graduates of the Computer Engineering program shall have:

• Undertaken, singly or in teams, projects that show ability to solve complex engineering problems.
• Had substantial involvement in projects that take into consideration safety, health, environmental concerns and the public welfare, partly through adherence to required codes and laws.
• Demonstrated professional success via promotions and/or positions of increasing responsibility.
• Demonstrated life-long learning via progress toward completion of an advanced degree, professional development/continuing education courses, or industrial training courses.
• Exhibited professional behavior and attitude in engineering practice.
• Initiated and implemented actions toward the improvement of engineering practice.
