In addition to the program on the Lexington campus, students can pursue a B.S. degree in computer engineering through the College’s Extended Campus Program in Paducah, Kentucky. The Paducah program uses the same curriculum as the main campus but provides the opportunity for students to complete all B.S. degree requirements without having to relocate to Lexington.
Students will complete the first two years at the West Kentucky Community and Technical College (WKCTC) and earn an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Computer Engineering Technology. Upon completion of the AAS in Computer Engineering Technology, students will have the option to pursue their junior and senior years (years 3 and 4 of the curriculum) at the UK-Paducah campus or UK’s home campus in Lexington, KY.
In addition to the collaboration with WKCTC, the proposed program will incorporate industry partnerships to provide students with the needed industrial experiences and applications to be career ready. The program is designed for students seeking distinctive career paths and opportunities in creative industrial design, production, and service. Graduates will be prepared for jobs with titles such as embedded software technologist, computer support specialist, networking support specialist, automation engineer, applications engineer, telecommunications engineer, network support technical engineer, and network administrator.
Degree Requirements
The curriculum requirements for the B.S. degree in computer engineering in Paducah are identical to those on the Lexington campus. Refer to those degree requirements for the Paducah degree program. Not all electives listed for the Lexington program will be available in Paducah. The student must satisfy the College graduation requirements listed earlier.
