Introduction
In the T.J. Smull College of Engineering, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the computer engineering field. You’ll take courses in electric circuits, embedded systems, and computer architecture. If you’re passionate about a particular subject – like computer networks, digital image processing or robotics – you can choose from a variety of upper-level elective courses in these areas.
Our academic program is rigorous. Expect to work hard and be challenged. However, we offer a supportive and collaborative environment. Your professors and fellow students in the college will become your friends and family. You will have the opportunity to connect with ONU alumni and they will help you succeed and open doors for you.
Upon graduation, you’ll be ready for whatever the future holds, whether it’s working in computer security, designing software and hardware, or starting your own company!
Get involved
Join a professional organization and you’ll learn about opportunities in your field and meet new people. ONU’s chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), for example, provides access to social and networking events and fast-paced competitions like the ACM Programming Contest, in which student teams scramble to solve problems and submit solutions as programs in C, C++ or Java.
Joint Engineering Council (JEC)
This group represents the study body of the College of Engineering. Members work closely with the dean of the College of Engineering, the faculty and our student organizations. Its purpose is to cultivate greater cooperation and communication between all groups.
Tau Beta Pi
This national honorary engineering association is for juniors who are in the upper 12.5 percent of their class and seniors who are in the upper 20 percent of their class.
Polar Robotics Club
This group of students designs and builds multiple robotic football players (quarterbacks, centers, linemen, running backs, wide receivers and a kicker) to compete in an annual robotics football match up against undergraduate engineering students from the University of Notre Dame.
Innovators of Ohio Northern (ION)
This new group is for innovative students interested in physical space and design. The group’s focus is on improving the physical environments in which students learn on campus.
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
This professional organization promotes the advancement and exchange of information in the computing field. Members have access to the latest publications and online resources to stay up-to-date in the fast-paced and ever-changing world of computing.
Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
This professional organization is open to male and female engineers who are dedicated to making known the need for more female engineers and for encouraging young women to consider majoring in engineering. ONU’s chapter provides support for its female students and hosts social activities.
Phi Sigma Rho
This group is a social sorority for women in engineering or engineering technology. Sisters develop the highest standard of personal integrity, strive for academic excellence and build friendships that last a lifetime.
Upsilon Pi Epsilon
This honorary recognizes outstanding talent in the field of computer science, promotes high scholarship and encourages individual contributions to society through computing science.
Theta Tau
Theta Tau is the oldest, largest and foremost coed fraternity for engineers. ONU’s chapter helps members develop and maintain a high standard of professionalism while forming lasting friendships. All engineering majors are encouraged to join.
Curriculum
You’ll need 128 credit hours to earn your Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCPE). We encourage you to use your elective hours to pursue a minor of your choice or a concentration. Two concentrations are currently available to computer engineering majors. The concentrations require both specific and elective courses. In addition to the regular degree program in computer engineering, several interdisciplinary programs are available to students. They include (but are not limited to) a business administration minor and an entrepreneurship minor.
Find solutions to real problems
Your computer engineering education will blend challenging coursework with hands-on, real-world learning experiences. You’ll work on team projects and solve engineering challenges for actual clients as early as your first year. By the time you are a senior, you will tackle a capstone project that will use all that you've learned. You’ll apply the knowledge you learn in class, but, more importantly, you will have the opportunity to hone skills in leadership, teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurship. These skills will help you find a job and land that promotion.
