COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Bachelor of Science
Computer engineers have excellent career opportunities in the design and application of hardware
and software components for a variety of computer
applications. These include mainframe, desktop, and
embedded microprocessor platforms, as well as the networking of various types of computers and peripherals.
Based on a strong foundation in mathematics,
computer science, and the physical sciences, the
Computer Engineering program includes engineering
science and design in circuits, electronics, computer
organizations and design, peripheral interfacing, and
software engineering. Emphasis is placed on hands-on
experience with networked computer systems, micro-,
mini-, and mainframe computers, and the solution of
a wide range of practical problems using engineering
principles. In addition to these technical skills, students learn to communicate effectively and to develop
interpersonal, teamwork, and management skills,
all of which contribute to success in a professional
engineering career. The program is also an excellent
preparation for graduate study.
