About Computer Engineering
Computer Engineers design hardware and computer systems and develop software. Their interests include intelligent systems, computer design and architecture, embedded systems such as cell phones and digital cameras, and other areas related to computer systems.
What can you do?
You can work in industry, government, consulting, or commerce. Choose a career path in design, development, production, manufacturing, sales or service, or use the degree as preparation for further study in engineering, business, medicine, or law.
Mission
To prepare Computer Engineering graduates for productive engineering careers in industry, government service or engineering education characterized by continual professional growth.
Program Educational Objectives
Program educational objectives are statements of broad characteristics and capabilities graduates are expected to have after completing the program curriculum.
Our Computer Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are:
- Effectively use the principles and methods of computer engineering, including mathematics and science, to analyze and design electrical systems;
- Have confidence in their technical capabilities and skills gained from an extensive laboratory experience that included structured to increasing open-ended design;
- Possess the ability to professionally work in teams, and communicate effectively;
- Engage in professional activities that promote the electrical engineering profession and provide continuing learning.
- Succeed in graduate study and research if pursued.
Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are statements that describe the knowledge, skills, or attitudes your graduates are expected to have after completing the program curriculum.
Our Computer Engineering Program Outcomes are:
- Foundational knowledge in the mathematical, natural, engineering, and computer sciences.
- Knowledge of advanced mathematics to include probability and statistics, differential equations, linear algebra, complex variables, and discrete mathematics.
- The ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools to engineering practice in the design and/or analysis of systems, processes, components, or experiments in order to solve socio-technical problems, and to evaluate the effectiveness of such applications.
- Communication and team skills necessary to communicate in written, oral, and graphic forms, and to work effectively in teams consisting of individuals from diverse disciplines.
- Sufficient educational breadth to include familiarity with contemporary issues and an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, to enable an understanding of the potential impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.
- Appreciation of the need for, and commitment to participation in continuing education and other life-long learning activities.
