We are excited to share with you that the B.S. in Computer Engineering has merged with the B.S. in Electrical Engineering into an exciting B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) degree. Click here for information on our new program. Transfer students are still being accepted into the B.S. in Computer Engineering program provided they are accepted into the program and begin study in Spring 2024 or sooner.
Get the foundation that leads to successful careers
Computer engineering involves the design and development of computer hardware and software and an understanding of how the computer and its devices interact ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ” which is why computer engineering is closely allied with electrical engineering and computer science.
A computer engineerÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ™s job also includes integrating software options with the hardware that will drive applications in many different fields such as:
- Biomedical engineering/food industry
- Design of digital systems in general
- Robotics/microcontroller/ microprocessor applications
- Design and operation of data communications systems
Learn from professors who are dedicated to your success.
Our faculty are leaders and innovators in their fields, bringing both deep professional experience and academic rigor to the classroom.
