Elektrotehnik (MS)

Overview

The MS in Computer Engineering program provides students with an advanced background in both the hardware and software aspects of computers, and how to make the hardware-software design trade-off inherent in computing today. Traditional Computer Science curricula concentrates primarily on the software side of computing, only introducing hardware architecture as a means to examine software. Traditional Electrical Engineering curricula concentrates almost exclusively on hardware. With the rapid development of computer hardware and software, especially in the past decade. there is a need for engineers knowledgeable in both hardware and software, but more importantly, how they interact.

The New York/New Jersey area is rapidly transforming from a predominantly manufacturing economy to a mixed manufacturing and service economy. Computer Engineers are an integral part of this transformation. With the emergence of a large high technology industry base, this program provides opportunities for professionals in this sector of the economy. Some companies are directly involved in the development of computers, and many more are involved in the creation of computerized instrumentation, control systems, and computer communications. Computer Engineers have the skills required for these companies to succeed. The emerging development of computer networks has created a new end market for Computer Engineers. As manufacturing becomes more high-tech. Computer Engineers provide the skills necessary for these companies to compete successfully in the national and international marketplaces. Other companies not directly in the high-technology sector are users of computers and need computer specialists to keep their organizations operating competitively. Government agencies and military facilities are heavily computerized; Computer Engineers serve important roles In these organizations. The need for Computer Engineers is expected to increase dramatically in the future.
