Program Overview

You’re interested in the technology behind technology, figuring out what powers the modern world and how to make it smarter, faster, better. If the idea of building the computers of the future appeals to you, look no further than ÍøÆØÍø’s Computer Engineering bachelor of science degree.

This cutting-edge degree offers students an interdisciplinary program that combines the core knowledge of engineering disciplines with mathematics and computer science to solve problems. It includes coursework in electronics engineering and computer science, focusing on computer hardware and embedded systems.

As a student in the computer engineering program, you’ll study the science and technology of software and hardware design, embedded systems, computer architecture, and integrated circuit design, in addition to signal processing, solid state devices and microcontroller applications.

This program will give you a deep understanding of programming, embedded systems and circuit theory. Gain the tools necessary to design, develop, construct, test and analyze computer systems.

[In engineering], you get to use your problem-solving and math abilities. If you like to build things, if you like to figure out how things work, if you think logically, then this is the field for you. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR KATHRYN PARCHESCO
