The wide range of needs in these areas provides career opportunities in design, production, reliability and quality control, and research and development. The continuing demand for computer engineering graduates creates an environment where employment opportunities are plentiful. In addition to course work in CS and EE, the curriculum includes a heavy emphasis in mathematics, along with courses in physics, technical writing, humanities, and social sciences. This program, which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, produces graduates with the technical skills needed to pursue challenging careers in a wide variety of corporations and to continue their education in new and rapidly developing areas. The basic measure of the quality of this program is the placement and subsequent success of the graduates.
Computer engineering is a rewarding field and a demanding occupation.
Advanced-placement calculus courses may be helpful. Deficiencies in high school can be made up on campus, but at the cost of delaying the regular degree program. Each student's program is developed in consultation with an academic adviser from the computer engineering faculty, who are members of either the CS or EE Department. The student's adviser assists the student by providing guidance in all academic areas. This guidance extends to general education, engineering science, and technical elective course selection, understanding and meeting the academic requirements of the university and the program, and planning a timely graduation.
