Overview

ABET-logo.jpgThe Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (www.abet.org). ABET is the global accreditor of college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.  ABET accreditation assures that programs meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter critical technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies, and anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.

Students in the computer engineering program develop in-depth knowledge of digital systems, computers, software, networks, and communications systems. The variety of subjects offered provides a balanced coverage and an integration of hardware, software, and communications engineering. As part of the academic program, six credits of professional experience are also included in the last summer prior to graduation, to give students an opportunity to integrate classroom instruction with practical work experience.

The broad scope of the program enables students to pursue different career paths in the design and use of computing and communications systems. Graduates of the program are prepared for employment in the computer and communications industries, and may also select to pursue graduate studies.
