Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Very rapid advances in semiconductor technology have made sophisticated digital devices available as an engineering tool. The computer engineering degree program is designed for those students who want a special emphasis in both the hardware and software associated with incorporating digital devices and microprocessors into various products and systems. It includes courses in computer science and electrical engineering for both software and hardware design. Extensive laboratory work gives students experience with wired logic and micro programmed digital systems, microprocessors, personal computers, hardware descriptive language, and computer networks. Program Educational Objectives Graduates of the University of Wyoming Electrical and Computer Engineering Program will: (EE/CP-OB1) Be able to successfully practice the profession of Electrical Engineering. (EE/CP-OB2) Be prepared and motivated to accept challenging assignments and responsibilities and be productive members of society. (EE/CP-OB3) Demonstrate successful career growth (e.g., professional registration, graduate school, promotion and advancement, patents, publications).
