Computer Engineering deals with the practical aspects of the design and use of computer systems for information processing. Computer engineers research and develop new computer systems, study their reliability and fault tolerance, evaluate their performance, investigate computer communication requirements, or work on artificial intelligence and robotics. In this major, students can learn about hardware design and software systems, as well as theory and applications of computers. The Computer Science undergraduate major at Penn State has two phases. The second phase then moves to data structures, programming languages, and computer systems in detail.
Course work involves computer applications and the polishing of programming skills.
