Beschreibung des Programms

What is a Computer Engineering Degree?

Computer engineering, quite different from computer science, is focused on the design and analysis of computer hardware, software, operating systems, and computer networks. In addition to a strong foundation in programming and software design, students seeking a computer engineering degree gain a complete understanding of complex computer systems and are provided with multiple opportunities to design, build, and test their own.

Whether you want to develop new methods of automation, design high-performance software, or engineer new robotic technologies, a computer engineering degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in engineering, programming, and electronics. New technical electives also allow you to specialize in unique career-track subfields such as systems engineering, nuclear technology, and energy engineering, making you a hot prospect in the eyes of future employers.

World-Renowned Faculty, and One-on-One Attention

As one of the top computer engineering schools in the country, Florida Tech’s academic environment fosters innovation and exploration. Florida Tech boasts small classes and low student-to-faculty ratios, with most classes taught by PhD-level professors whose greatest interest is helping students succeed.

Because of our small classes, Florida Tech professors can offer students personalized attention and are easily accessible for assistance and advice. We have a diverse faculty with specialties in a variety of areas who are active in teaching and research and occupy important roles in professional organizations. Many of our faculty members have won Florida Tech teaching and research awards served on national and international committees and worked with institutions around the world.

Our faculty includes an IEEE Fellow, an IEEE Life Fellow, a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering .

Accreditation

The undergraduate computer engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Located in the Heart of Florida’s High-Tech Corridor

Florida Tech is the perfect place for a computer engineering degree. The 130-acre campus is located on the Space Coast (so named because of the presence of NASA and the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral just north of us), minutes away from the Indian River Lagoon, the most diverse estuary in North America.

The area has the fifth-largest high-tech workforce in the country, with more than 5,000 high-tech corporations and government and military organizations located nearby. This workforce also provides an abundance of internship and employment opportunities.

Florida Tech is just over the causeway from the Atlantic Ocean with its 72 miles of beautiful beaches, and a short trip to the Florida Keys or the Orlando theme parks. We also have a rich campus life that includes a wide range of intramural and collegiate sports, clubs, and social activities.

Build Lasting Professional Relationships through Campus Organizations

In addition to research and computer engineering internships, students can join professional organizations:

  • Florida Tech's student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (known as FIT-IEEE) competes in robotics competitions and professional conferences.
  • Eta Kappa Nu is an honor society designed to recognize engineering and computer sciences, students, for outstanding academic achievements during their time at Florida Tech.
  • High-achieving students may also become members of Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honor society.

Students can also participate in student government or over 100 other student organizations on campus.

It All Started With 37 Cents

Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as "Brevard Engineering College." It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

As university lore would have it, Keuper expressed his desire to create a scientific and technological university to a friend over drinks at a local pub. Overhearing the conversation, a fellow patron pushed 37 cents in change across the bar and said, “There’s your first donation, Jerry. Now, go and build that college.”

So, Keuper did. And what started with 37 cents as a night school for the early “missilemen” of the U.S. space program is now a comprehensive national research university recognized worldwide for excellence in preparing students for careers of the future.

Core Values

  • Research for the Benefit of All Humankind
  • Education for a Lifetime of Success
  • Global Citizenship for a Better World

Mission Statement

Florida Institute of Technology’s mission is to provide high-quality education to a culturally diverse student body in order to prepare students for entering the global workforce, seeking higher-education opportunities, and serving within their communities. The university also seeks to expand knowledge through basic and applied research and to serve the diverse economic, cultural, and societal needs of our local, state, national and international constituencies.

In support of this mission, we are committed to:

  • Promoting student development by fostering and sustaining a productive institutional culture of assessment that leads to the continuous improvement of academic and administrative programs
  • Developing an organizational culture that values and encourages intellectual curiosity, a sense of belonging and shared purpose among faculty, students, and staff, and the pursuit of excellence in all endeavors
  • Recruiting and developing excellent faculty to become leaders in their respective fields and internationally recognized scholars
  • Achieving recognition as an effective, innovative, technology-focused educational and research institution
  • Recruiting and retaining an excellent, highly select, and culturally diverse student body
  • Continually improving the quality of campus life for all members of the university community
  • Providing personal and career growth opportunities for both traditional and nontraditional students and members of the faculty and staff
  • Securing and maintaining professional accreditation for all appropriate programs

We Are Florida Tech

What we are is a private, coeducational, residential, research-intensive, doctoral-granting university located in Melbourne on Florida’s sunny “Space Coast.” But who we are is so much more. We are a community of researchers, scholars, and learners hailing from all around the world. We are engineers, aviators, innovators, leaders, educators, athletes, and astronauts. We have the brains of rocket scientists and the hearts of Panthers. We are Florida Tech.

We Are Relentless

Florida Tech is a university of leaders and learners—a diverse community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni who are united in the relentless pursuit of greatness.

We Are International

Students from more than 90 countries worldwide choose to live and learn at Florida Tech, making us a truly global university. When we say #YouAreWelcomeHere, we mean it.

We Create The Future

One of the primary tenets of Florida Tech’s mission is advancing science and technology for the benefit of Earth and all of its inhabitants. So, that’s what we do.

We Have Panther Pride

You may feel it the first time you visit the campus, the day you graduate, or at some point in between. But when you do, you’ll see that Panther Pride is more than school spirit. It’s a family.

We Make Connections

Florida Tech is proud to be part of the Brevard County community and welcomes its neighbors to explore the many personal, professional, corporate, and cultural opportunities we have to offer.

We Are STEM

There's a reason Florida Tech is known as Florida's STEM University™. To put it simply: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are in our DNA. This makes STEM a driving force behind who we are, what we do, and why we exist.
