Computer Engineering (BS)

Computer engineering provides students with high-level skills in mathematics, science, and engineering. Computer engineers serve as a bridge between electrical engineering and computer science, focusing primarily on the design of computers.

The scope of products and systems containing computer technology is ever-expanding, ranging from small, embedded computers in consumer electronics, appliances, and automobiles to complex, computer-based systems controlling power generation, manufacturing, and telecommunications systems. The role of the computer engineer includes the design, analysis, and implementation of computing technology as well as its integration into devices and systems that use computers.
