Bachelor of
Science Degree in Computer Engineering
The ever-increasing use of the computer
in today's world offers expanding opportunities in
this field of specialization. This program provides
a bridge between the disciplines of electrical engineering
and computer science. Graduates can enter such fields
as chip design, software engineering, robotics, and
a variety of computercontrolled applications. This
requires the development of the engineering approach
through the understanding of engineering mathematics,
digital and analog electronics and control, as well
as computer languages, computing theory and computer
architecture. Design and problem-solving form the
heart of the discipline and a variety of computer-aided
design (CAD) tools are utilized to facilitate learning
and implementation.
The graduate from this program will
obtain the basic education in the first three years.
The final year is utilized to explore specific areas
of interest. One can choose a software-oriented program
including such areas as artificial intelligence, knowledge-based
systems and software design or a hardware-oriented
program pointing toward computer or integrated circuit
design, robotics and networking.
The engineering approach and knowledge
of computer structure are the attributes that make
it unique. This program is accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology. A total of 132 semester
hours are required for graduation.
