What is Computer Engineering?
Computer Engineering deals with all aspects of computer systems including design, construction and operation. Computer Engineers can specialize in digital systems, operating systems, computer networks, software and hardware design.
Computer engineering students learn the importance of both computer hardware as well as software. As a Computer Engineering student, you will study fundamentals of computer system design involving both hardware and software. You will learn the fundamentals of operation and design of modern electronic marvels such as computers, integrated circuits, software design and robotics. Students begin conducting experiments in department laboratory facilities during their freshman year.
Design experience is well-integrated throughout the four-year curriculum. During a student's senior year they work as a team on a senior design project, which allows them to do valuable research and develop innovative concepts within their field.
Students also have the opportunity to work with faculty on research programs, enhancing their educational experience and preparing them for the industry.
The Major
In addition to a solid foundation in the basic sciences and mathematics, you will be introduced to a broad spectrum of courses covering all major areas of this discipline. Included are courses in digital systems, microprocessors, computer systems design, computer architecture, operating systems, software design, electronics, and circuits. These are followed by in-depth courses in specialized areas such advanced digital design, digital signal processing, integrated circuit design, computer networks, and others. These courses provide practical and theoretical knowledge that is directly applicable to the industries they relate to.
The Computer Engineering program is a newly established program in 2007. The program takes advantage of expertise in electrical and computer engineering, and computer science.
