The Bachelor of Science degree program in computer engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The curriculum is carefully designed to provide a modern program, balancing the study of hardware, software, theory, and practice. The program prepares students to be skillful practitioners by combining these studies with a thorough foundation in science, mathematics, and electrical and computer engineering. In addition to offering well-equipped educational laboratories, excellent faculty, and flexible programs for working professionals, the program also affords students with unique opportunities for research in the local area.

Laboratory experience in design, experimentation, observation, implementation, and discovery complement the theoretical portion of the program.

Computer Engineering Program Objectives

To produce graduates recognized by industrial, government, and academic entities as having a sound, current, and comprehensive education by providing a balanced and integrated hardware and software educational experience that is rich in modern laboratory, project, and design experiences and that emphasizes team participation, problem solving, and communication skills
To prepare and retain students who, upon graduation, will be motivated to pursue lifelong learning, continuing education, and graduate studies, as required by their personal development goals, through a stimulating, broad, and modern educational experience that is well grounded in the mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles, as well as in the fundamental concepts and theory of computing
To instill in computer science and engineering students a sense of social responsibility, a code of conduct, and ethical values appropriate to the discipline, so that our graduates are valuable contributors in their societal and professional environments
To encourage broad participation in our programs by nontraditional students (such as part-time, working, returning, and students with disabilities), and by women and minorities, through accessible facilities and through our scheduling and conduct of late afternoon and evening classes
To recognize and encourage excellence in faculty teaching, research, and service

Graduates of the computer engineering program are prepared to supervise, design, and implement systems employing computer hardware, software, and firmware.
