Electives in management and accounting are also available. Specializations within the Field and Graduate Studies During the senior year, students are permitted to select technical electives either in one or more specializations. These include computer architecture, integrated circuit design, digital communications, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and abstract computer theory. While some students enter graduate studies immediately upon graduation, many pursue advanced degrees and graduate training on a part-time basis while fully employed in industry. Type of Work Bachelor's Degree Recipients Enter Computer engineering graduates find employment in industry, government, and educational institutions.
Opportunities also exist for self-employed computer consultants.
Specific jobs computer engineers are prepared to perform include hardware design, design automation, VLSI design, test design, fault tolerant design, software engineering, digital communications, artificial systems development, computer networking and computer architecture. Representative job titles are computer engineer, software engineer, product engineer, design engineer, system engineer and test engineer. With the continuing growth in the application and use of computers, the outlook for employment in the computer engineering field is quite good. Since the computer industry meets the needs of our entire industrial base, this employment demand tends to follow trends in the general economy.
