Computer Engineering (BS) 

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 integrated Computer Engineering program has a 97% job placement rate before graduation and is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Engineering. A BS in Computer Engineering prepared students for employment and/or graduate programs in robotics, biomedical implants and prosthetics, telecommunications, data acquisition systems, and other complex hardware-software systems.

  • Program Objective #4: Matthew 7:24-27

Prepare our graduates to pursue growth in their faith, social understanding, and technical competence so that they can adapt to meet the needs of an ever-changing world. Prepare graduates with a growth mindset who act competently, dependably, and with divine discernment in an ever-changing world.

The Computer Engineering Faculty has adopted engineering criteria (1) through (7) for student outcomes, as expected from the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, in addition to criteria (8) which focuses on spiritual growth.

  • Student Outcome #1:

Students will gain an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

  • Student Outcome #2:

Students will gain an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 

  • Student Outcome #3:

Students will gain an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

  • Student Outcome #4:

Students will gain an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

  • Student Outcome #5:

Students will gain an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

  • Student Outcome #6:

Students will gain an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

  • Student Outcome #7:

Students will gain an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

  • Student Outcome #8: 2 Timothy 3:17

Students will gain an ability to demonstrate Christian servant leadership by practicing spiritual disciplines and redemptive community service. This is honed through the development of personal knowledge, skills, habits, and relationships that enable Christian Growth and active involvement in service to Christ and His Kingdom.

A Taylor liberal arts education will prepare you to live and work in a fast-changing world. It also goes a step further: laying a strong spiritual foundation that cultivates wisdom. You’ll become a well-versed individual, equipped with critical thinking skills, a lifelong love of learning, and an appreciation for God’s creation.
