B.S in Computer Engineering
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cmp.E.) degree curriculum provides an in-depth education in the analytical skills, hardware, and software aspects of modern computer systems. The program builds on a strong foundation in engineering design, including traditional analog and digital circuit design. The three main areas of emphasis within the computer-engineering program are embedded systems, telecommunications and networking, and software engineering and distributed computing. Extensive laboratory experiences support the theoretical aspects of the course work. Students gain valuable digital hardware design and software design experiences throughout the curriculum. The junior and senior years strengthens the student's expertise with courses in data structures, embedded systems, computer architecture, parallel and high performance computing systems, advanced digital systems, and computer communications networks and network security.
The Program Educational Objectives of the Computer Engineering degree program are to prepare graduates who will be successful in their chosen career paths by:
- becoming productive and valuable engineers in the private or public sector
- pursuing and completing graduate studies, and/or
- taking on leadership roles in their professions, as well as in their communities and the global society.
The minimum number of credit hours for graduation is 125. Semester by semester, these 125 total credit hours may be distributed as shown below.
