BA/BS in Computer Engineering

Computer engineering combines hardware and software design. Graduates work on digital systems that range from integrated circuits to cloud computing platforms. The curriculum follows the industry trend of integrating hardware and software development, and students use computer-aided design tools to model and support new digital systems. Students learn to connect design choices with the performance of the finished product. Modeling hardware and software functions at multiple levels relies on specialized languages including VHDL and Python, from system architecture down to transistors. Labs and projects appear throughout the curriculum, with hands-on design and simulation emphasized. A year-long senior design capstone has student teams build a functional hardware system. Graduates enter careers that span hardware, software, and the systems that join them.
