Computer Engineering

Let us remember, we as teachers educate technologists to use and improve existing technology and engineers who design and research new concepts.

Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Engineering is offered by the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Technology (ECET) Department.

Computer Engineering (CE) encompasses the research, development, design and operation of computers and computerized systems and their components. The primary objective of the CE program is to educate engineering professionals who posses a sound design and analytical background coupled with a strong laboratory experience. This means that the department expects to prepare its graduates for:

1. Entry into the engineering work environment with well developed design and laboratory skills.
2. Further study toward advanced degrees in engineering and other related disciplines.
3. Advancement into managerial ranks and/or entrepreneurial endeavors.

In support of this objective, the program provides a curriculum that follow the guidelines set forth by industry standard:

1. A strong background in the physical sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences including extensive hands-on laboratory instruction.
2. An integrated design component to the curriculum including instruction in basic practices and procedures, creativity, control, economics, and synthesis. The process begins with basic instruction during the freshman year and concludes with a capstone design project.
3. A choice of several sub disciplines in their senior level elective offerings.
4. Opportunities for students to develop sensitivity to the social and humanistic implications of technology and motivate them to make worthwhile contributions to the profession and society, while upholding the highest standards of professional ethics.
5. Courses in business and economics to promote awareness of management and the economic aspects of engineering.
6. Preparation for continuing study and professional development.

The ECET department strives to meet the needs of our constituents as we develop our educational programs. In designing our programs, we strive to meet the needs of:

• Students
• Both Public and Private sector employers
• Graduate and Professional Schools
• Professional Practice (Licensed Professional Engineers)
• Internship with Employers

The curriculum offers students the opportunity to emphasize a number of specialized areas including digital systems, wireless communications, controls, and material sciences. During the senior year, students must take the first step toward registration as a professional engineer by taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination. The electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
