Curriculum

Practice over theory

In our technology-driven world, we need skilled computer technology engineers who have a strong focus on the practical ways we can incorporate technology into our lives. In the Computer Engineering Technology degree program, you’ll gain the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to prepare for a rewarding career in design, application, installation, programming, networking, and computer system operation. This program emphasizes the application and implementation of computer technology.

APPLIED

Practical skills, not just theory

While many Computer Engineering Technology programs focus on the theory and design of computer technology, this program gives you the practical skills to develop, install, and maintain computer networks and systems. You will take courses in applied mathematics.

SYSTEMS

Networks and security

You’ll gain experience in project management, network analysis, network security, mobile communications, and more!

CAPSTONE

A final-year design project

Your final year culminates with a design project where you apply these skills in both technical and non-technical environments. In the bachelor’s in Computer Engineering Technology program, you’ll work with your peers and industry experts to identify and analyze problems and implement solutions in a technology environment.

ELECTIVES

Tailor the degree

You’ll have the opportunity to choose computer engineering electives and tailor your degree to meet your personal and professional goals.
