GENERAL INFORMATION

Computer engineering is a rapidly growing profession and computer engineers are in the midst of exciting times with unlimited opportunities in all walks of life. For instance, computer engineers interact with and design large  Supercomputers as well as the ubiquitous personal and portable computers. Furthermore, computer engineers play a key role in networking computers with other computers and intelligent devices. Computer engineers are also involved in such varied projects as designing specialized computer hardware to reconstruct the human genome; monitoring and controlling industrial plants and the environment, computer graphics and robotics; and designing biomedical devices and computer networks. Finally, computer engineers design and develop hardware and embedded hardware-software systems. The graduate certificate in computer engineering is designed for working professionals who seek to acquire an in-depth understanding of the field. The program consists of three required courses and one elective course.
