Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

ABET AccreditedThe Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree offers a curriculum in the study of computer systems including the design, construction, and overall operations with a major focus on hardware. It includes the study of digital circuits, embedded systems programming languages and operating systems. The program provides a solid mathematics, basic science, and engineering science base that is common to all quality engineering programs. Students majoring in computer engineering may choose to specialize in the wireless concentration.
