THE program in Computer Engineering deals with the organization, design, and application of digital processing systems as general-purpose computers or as embedded systems, i.e., components of information processing, control, and communication systems. The program provides a strong engineering background centered on digital technology combined with an understanding of the principles and techniques of computer science.
Computer engineering is design-oriented.
The basic principles of engineering and computer science are applied to the task at hand, which may be the design of a digital processor, processor peripheral, or a complete digital processor-based system. Whatever the undertaking, the comprehensive academic training in this program enables engineers to evaluate the impact of their decisions, whether working with hardware, software, or the interface between the two. Undergraduate Honors Program. The Computer Engineering program offers an undergraduate Honors Program, with a diploma designation as Honors in Computer Engineering. With faculty approval, admission to the program can occur at any time after achievement of junior status and requires a 3.5 grade point average.
