These graduates will be skilled in the analysis, design, and implementation of computer hardware, software, and the integration of hardware and software into a computer system. Graduates will be able to apply these skills to satisfy the requirements of a specific application. The undergraduate computer engineering curriculum provides a basic background in science and engineering. The major emphasis is on design of digital computer hardware, including design of the software required by the computer to function, as well as the software tools required by applications. The program prepares students to enter the profession immediately or to go on to graduate school.
Every student is assigned a faculty advisor.
The department expects its majors to consult regularly with their advisors and to obtain the advisor's approval and signature on all required registration forms. To prepare students for entry-level professional engineering as well as continuing studies in engineering or other professional areas. To provide a practice-oriented curriculum that prepares students to apply theoretical concepts to real world problems. To provide students with the problem solving and communication skills required to be successful and advance in their careers. To provide opportunities for students to learn and practice leadership and teamwork skills in a multidisciplinary environment.
