Computer Engineering (Major) 

Learn how to design and build new computer technology. 

Practical courses will build and integrate your understanding of computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics by focusing on hardware design, software programming, electric circuits, mathematics modeling, embedded systems, and CPU architectures. 

Our interdisciplinary Computer Engineering program is ABET-accredited (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) with a 97% job placement rate before graduation. The Computer Engineering major prepares students for employment and/or graduate programs involving robotics, biomedical implants, telecommunications, data acquisition systems, and other complex hardware-software systems. 

Recent student projects include building satellites, virtual reality environments, Mars 3D habitation printers, a greenhouse for Mars to support humans, and robotic assembly of structures in space.
