BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING
GENERAL INFORMATION
The undergraduate program in computer engineering draws on the strengths of our departments of electrical engineering and computer and information science to provide a focus on computer system design with integrated understanding of computer hardware and software.
The mission of this program is to engage our students seeking educational achievement as our nation enters a new age with new demands and opportunities. Our goal is to provide undergraduate students with a broad-based education for a career in computer engineering with the skills necessary to become creative leaders in their profession with the passion and desire to discover, invent, innovate, apply, and advance new science and technology to the nation’s most significant problems.
The program's objectives include:
- Instilling a broad-based understanding of the fundamental technical subject areas associated with computer engineering.
- Requiring technical depth in at least one area of specialization, and allow for elective opportunities in other areas.
- Developing problem-solving skills with modeling, analysis, design, and computer simulation as tools.
- Providing a broad educational component that complements the technical content of the student’s major discipline, including multidisciplinary experience, humanistic and societal issues and communication skills
A major change in courses and degree requirements was introduced for students entering as freshmen in September, 2000. The new semester-by-semester program in Computer Engineering can be found at CompE Curriculum.
The BSCompE program contains a technical concentration consisting of two technical electives and a concentration laboratory/project, which allows the student to develop a professional specialization. Examples of possible specializations are listed below and others may be constructed with approval of the program advisor.
- Control and Robotics
- Data Communications
- Microcontroller and Embedded Systems
- Integrated Circuit Design
- Computer Architecture
- Artificial Intelligence
- Software Engineering
