Program Educational Objectives
Computer Engineers shape the way people work, play, live and learn in the modern world and develop the infrastructure and devices people can’t imagine living without. Computer Engineering is a dynamic and rewarding field that draws upon Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Computer Engineers solve today’s most challenging technology problems by applying their expertise in both hardware and software systems. Leveraging everything from the world’s smallest micro-controllers to the largest server farms on the planet, Computer Engineers have revolutionized modern entertainment, medicine, telecommunications, transportation, and Information Technology. Computer Engineering graduates find employment in positions requiring Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering expertise, are in high demand in virtually all industries, and are among the highest compensated specialties in engineering.
The objective of the computer engineering degree program is to prepare students for success as practicing engineers engaged in life-long learning and serving in leadership roles in their chosen career path. Specifically, within three to five years of graduation, graduates of the computer engineering degree will:
- Establish themselves as practicing professionals meeting or exceeding the expectations of their employers.
- Continue their professional development or pursue formal education to earn advanced degrees and/or certifications.
- Demonstrate leadership in their professional endeavors and/or in their communities.
