Computer Engineering Program

Designing computer chips. Developing faster algorithms. Improving computer logic and circuit design. The Computer Engineering program is where the study of hardware and software interfaces come together. Join us to develop your interests at the juncture of electrical engineering and computer science, and learn how to design, create, and test software, hardware, and system designs for applications in business, industry, and government.

Program Overview

The Computer Engineering program combines key aspects of electrical engineering and computer science. In pursuit of an undergraduate BS or Master of Science degree, students learn the fundamentals of circuits, systems, and software associated with the design of programmable systems as used for general purpose computing, communications, control, or signal processing. Because of their broad skills in both hardware and software, students in computer engineering are in high demand for employment after graduation. Computer engineering students are also positioned to pursue graduate programs in either computer science or electrical engineering.
