Introduction

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides students with a broad-based theoretical and practical understanding of the field. The program focuses on a strong knowledge of algorithmic techniques, as well as problem-solving, analytical thinking, and computer programming skills.

This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Program Overview

Students will gain a deeper understanding of digital hardware and software systems design, programming, circuit theory, computer design, and software engineering. This program prepares students for a wide range of applications including security systems, biomedicine, robotics, gaming, and beyond.

Computer engineering involves the design and application of computer hardware and computer software. Computer hardware consists of the physical components that implement a computer system: processor and memory chips, circuit boards, and peripheral devices. Computer software consists of computer programs that accomplish a specific task using sequences of simple, programmable steps. Computers have become an integral part of many large systems that require sophisticated control, including automobiles, medical instrumentation, telecommunication systems, and factory automation. Computers are a driving force behind many of today’s exciting new technologies, including wireless communications, interactive multimedia, and high-speed computer networks. Computer engineers must have detailed knowledge of both hardware and software to design, build, and use complex information processing systems for a wide range of applications.

The objectives of the ECE undergraduate computer engineering program are to produce electrical engineering graduates who are prepared to:

  • Enter their profession and make intellectual contributions to it
  • Embark on a lifelong career of personal and professional growth
  • Take advanced courses at the graduate level
