Program Description
The combined B.S..in Computer Engineering/M.S. in Computer Engineering program allows students to earn a B.S. in Computer Engineering and a M.S. in Computer Engineering in 5 years. Up to 9 semester credit hours of graduate electives at the CS/CEG 6000/7000 may be double-counted and applied to both the B.S. and M.S degree requirements.
Admission Requirements
- Full-time student
- Computer engineering major
- Have accumulated between 60 and 90 credit hours toward degree
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2
- Overall GPA in computer science and engineering courses of at least 3.2
- Complete the admission application.
Once admitted to the program, the student must complete a program of study for the M.S. in Computer Engineering.
B.S. Program Learning Objectives
Within five years after graduation, graduates of our Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program shall::
- demonstrate employer and peer-recognized expertise as computing and engineering professionals with the ability to analyze, design, and evaluate solutions to complex engineering problems.
- demonstrate adaptability to evolving technology and workforce needs through sustained learning applicable to the computer engineering discipline through self-study, professional training programs, and graduate education.
- demonstrate engagement in social, ethical, professional, and leadership responsibilities to the discipline through teamwork, professional societies, and computing and engineering-related activities within the community.
- demonstrate an in-depth understanding of a broad spectrum of hardware and software components and their interactions within modern computational systems.
- demonstrate a commitment to teamwork and working with others of diverse cultural and interdisciplinary backgrounds.
M.S. Program Learning Objectives
Graduates of the Master’s of Science program in Computer Engineering will:
- Have the ability to apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer engineering
- Solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer engineering techniques
B.S. Program Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering will have:
- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
- an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
- an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
- an ability to communicate effectively.
- the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
- a knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
M.S. Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the Master’s of Science program in Computer Engineering shall:
- Have the ability to apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer engineering, and
- Have the ability to solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer engineering techniques.

I. Wright State Core: 37 Credit Hours
As a part of the requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Wright State University, all students must complete the Wright State Core, a general education curriculum. Most programs require 36 hours in the Core, some programs may require additional hours. Specific Core classes in some of the Elements may be required by some majors. When this occurs, the specific Core courses required will be listed below. In Elements where a specific course is not required, students can choose any course from the Wright State Core Program Requirements. First-Year Seminar: 1 Credit Hour
All students must successfully complete a First-Year Seminar during their first year. Transfer students who transfer 24 or more credit hours (post high school graduation) are exempt from this requirement and will need to satisfy one additional credit hour in the Additional Core Courses category. Element A - English Composition: 6 Credit Hours
Element B - Mathematics, Statistics, and Logic: 4 Credit Hours
Based on Math Placement Level, students may need additional prerequisite or corequisite coursework in mathematics prior to enrollment in the required course below. Required: Element C - Arts and Humanities: 6 Credit Hours
Students will select two Arts and Humanities courses, with different course prefixes from the approved Wright State Core Program Requirements. One course must fulfill the History requirement. Element D - Social and Behavioral Sciences: 6 Credit Hours
Students will select two Social and Behavioral Sciences courses, with different course prefixes from the approved Wright State Core Program Requirements. Required: Element E - Natural Sciences: 10 Credit Hours
Students will select two Natural Science courses, from the approved Wright State Core Program Requirements. At least one course must contain a laboratory. Required: Additional Core Courses: 4 Credit Hours
Students will select up to 4 additional credit hours from Elements A-E from the approved Wright State Core Program Requirements to reach the 36 minimum hours required in the Core. Unless specified by the student’s major, these are selected by the student. When a major has required courses in this area, the specific Core course(s) required will be listed below. Additional Core Requirements
Within the 36 credit hours of the Wright State Core students must successfully complete the following: Students who do not make choices within the 36 required hours of the Core to fulfill the GI, IE, and IW requirements will take additional Core hours beyond the minimum of 36.
