About Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering is a profession which places the engineer
in the middle of an exciting, rapidly growing field with virtually
unlimited opportunities in industry, education and government.
Computer engineers work with and design computers from large
super computers to minicomputers and microcomputers. Of particular
importance to computer engineers is the interfacing of computers
with other devices and other computers. Computer engineers are
involved in projects as varied as design of microcomputer hardware,
monitoring of
industrial plants and the environment, computer graphics,
robotics, the design of biomedical devices and computer networks.
Computer engineers also design and develop large software
systems to analyze and control sophisticated instrumentation.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers
a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering. As in
all engineering degrees, the student starts with a core curriculum
in mathematics and basic science. The requirements for the
computer engineering degree emphasize a well-rounded program
including hardware, software and applications. In addition,
courses in communications skills, the humanities and social
sciences round out the program.
An important aspect of the program is that the curriculum
is an accredited degree program. The program is accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology. This accreditation is
assurance to you and your employer of a quality engineering program.
Career Opportunities
The computer plays an ever-increasing role in all engineering
disciplines. This has created an unusual demand for persons
whose education lies in the many topics necessary to understand
and develop new computers and their applications. Career opportunities
exist for those who desire to design new computers, apply
computer systems to dedicated tasks, design digital systems,
and develop software for engineering applications. Private
industry, government agencies, research institutions, and
private businesses recruit aggressively for those who acquire
the diverse talents of computer engineering.
