Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Computer engineering (CpE) is a discipline that embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation and maintenance of software and hardware components of computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. Studies in computer engineering integrate fields from both computer science (CS) and electrical engineering (EE). Computer engineering (CpE) brings a core competency and unique value of integrated knowledge in both computer software and hardware, providing a balance among computer systems, hardware and software as well as theory and applications. Specialization in computer engineering is provided via technical electives from the Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. By properly choosing electives, students can specialize in knowledge areas such as computer architecture, computer system engineering, digital signal processing, embedded systems, intelligent systems, networking and communication and security. Also, opportunities for cooperative education provide students a better understanding of the industrial applications of computer engineering technologies. Graduates will be prepared to pursue graduate studies in computer engineering or they can choose from many different careers related to computers and their applications in high technology environments. Educational Objectives The objective of the program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering is to prepare a student such that three to five years after graduation, a CpE graduate will: Excel in a career utilizing their education in computer engineering Continue to enhance their knowledge Be effective in multidisciplinary and diverse professional environments Provide leadership and demonstrate professional integrity Mission To educate undergraduate majors as well as the broader campus community in the fundamental concepts of the computing discipline To create and disseminate computing knowledge and technology To use our expertise in computing to help society solve problems.
