BS in Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering program integrates both electronics engineering and computer science in the development of computer systems. Computer Engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing including design of microcontrollers, computers, and circuit design. These engineers focus not just on how computers work but on how to integrate them into larger systems.
Students learn the fundamentals of circuits, systems, and software associated with the design of programmable systems as used for general purpose computing, communications, control, or signal processing. Because of their broad skills in both hardware and software, students in computer engineering are in high demand for employment after graduation. Computer engineering students are also positioned to pursue graduate programs in either computer science or electronics engineering.
