Program Description

Computer engineers research, design, create, manufacture, test, and improve computer systems. The focus of this major is on hardware and the integration of hardware and software. Your laboratory experience in design, experimentation, observation, implementation, and discovery will complement the theoretical portion of this degree program.

You will cover the design, construction, and overall operation of computer systems with a focus on hardware. This will include the study of:

• Digital circuits
• Embedded systems programming languages
• Operating systems

This ABET-accredited program (Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org) is ideal for anyone. We pride ourselves on having well-equipped educational laboratories, excellent faculty, small class sizes, opportunities for undergraduate participation in funded projects, and a flexible program for working professionals. You will have the opportunity to truly reach your fullest potential here.
