Computer Engineering, B.S.

The computer engineering program is designed to develop professionals who will analyze, design, construct, and maintain hardware and software systems. The program is structured so that studies in mathematics and science prepare the student for the theory of electric circuits, numerical techniques, and programming languages. Building on this foundation, studies in computer science, electronics, digital logic, and microprocessors build to an advanced study of computer hardware. Each of these areas is supported by formal laboratory experimentation and hardware design projects. Graduates of the computer engineering program will work on a variety of challenging projects within the areas of computer architecture, computer logic design, computer networks, and communications.
