What is Computer Engineering?
Computer Engineers are trained to solve problems in hardware, software, systems and networks that devices − from a laptop to an airplane − work properly.
Computer engineers gain their unique expertise from both electrical engineering and computer science disciplines.
Electrical engineering integrates the theory and design of electronics hardware with the knowledge of electronic circuits and devices, digital logic, digital systems, microprocessors, embedded systems, hardware organization and computer system architecture.
Computer science includes software engineering, data structures and algorithms, operating systems, database design, programming languages, computer networks and parallel computing.
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
A traditional bachelor’s degree is available:
Students can also earn both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Engineering:
In order to accomplish this, students must plan starting in their freshman year to allow for summer courses so that they can take six hours of graduate work each semester in their senior undergraduate year.
Students in this program specialize in computer programming and architecture, network communications, wireless security, data mining, deep learning and artificial intelligence.
- Programming for Engineers
