Computer Engineering, BSCE

Program Description:

The Bachelor of Science Computer Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org (http://www.abet.org/). The curriculum is carefully designed to provide a modern program, balancing the study of hardware, software, theory, and practice. The program prepares students to be skillful practitioners by combining these studies with a thorough foundation in science, mathematics, and electrical and computer engineering. In addition to offering well-equipped educational laboratories, excellent faculty, and flexible programs for working professionals, the program also affords students with unique opportunities for research in the local area.

Laboratory experience in design, experimentation, observation, implementation, and discovery complement the theoretical portion of the program.

Three to five years after graduation, graduates of the BSCEG program will:

Objective 1: Be recognized by industrial, government, and academic entities as having a sound, current, and comprehensive education including balanced and integrated hardware and software educational experiences, and rich in modern laboratory, project, and design experiences, and which emphasizes team participation, problem solving, and communication skills.
Objective 2: Be motivated to pursue lifelong learning, continuing education, and graduate studies, as required by their personal development goals.
Objective 3: Exhibit a sense of social responsibility, a code of conduct, and ethical values appropriate to the discipline, so that they are valuable contributors in their societal and professional environments.

Graduates of the computer engineering program are prepared to supervise, design, and implement systems employing computer hardware, software, and firmware.
