The undergraduate Computer Engineering program is committed to providing students with a high-quality education and prepares them for long and successful careers in industry and government. Its graduates, while eminently ready for immediate employment, are also fully ready for focused training as required for specific positions in computer engineering and closely related areas. The students “learn to learn” so that they can readily adapt themselves as the field of computing and computing environment change constantly. Graduates interested in highly technical careers, research, and/or academia are fully prepared to further their education in graduate schools. Graduates from this School have good oral and written communication skills as well as a good understanding of ethical issues related to the computing profession.
The computer engineering curriculum places emphasis on both hardware and software aspects of system design and ensures that the design experience, which includes both analytical and experimental studies, is integrated throughout the program in a sequential manner leading to advanced work. Design problems are frequently assigned in both lecture and laboratory courses. Each student is required to complete a major design project during the senior year. In addition, established cooperative education programs with IT industry further supplement students’ design experience.
