All questions about the Computer Engineering program should be directed to Dr. Ron Becker, the program coordinator. CSUS does not offer a separate Master's degree in Computer Engineering. The Electrical Engineering Department and the Computer Science Department each offer a computer engineering option within their respective Master's degrees. Due to numerous generous donations from supportive industries, the computer engineering labs are well equipped with Unix and NT servers and workstations, and with software development tools for VLSI application-specific integrated circuits. The BS degree in Computer Engineering is a four-year program that emphasizes engineering design of computer hardware and systems at all levels.
Engineering design begins with logic design taught to entering students during their first semester.
The thread of design continues through the study of architecture, CMOS and VLSI technology, ASIC design, operating systems, computer hardware design, and networking hardware. To complete their degree, students take a two-semester senior design and project course. Computer Engineering faculty value accreditation very highly. A mechanism of maintaining currency in technology, curriculum review, and outcomes assessment is in place to assure the university and graduates of the continued growth and high quality of the program. 101 Courses in parentheses are prerequisites.
