| Computer Engineering – the application of computer science and electrical/electronics engineering to develop computer hardware and software. Graduates in Computer Engineering gain skills and use computer aided-design tools that enable them to design, implement, and develop processors, hardware accelerators and associated software. These skills lead to efficient hardware/software co-design and the ability to develop user/application-level software. This major provides students with a common base of knowledge essential to computer engineering and then allows them to select from a menu of electives to attain a broad technical background. Electives are available in the areas of Embedded Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Software Design, Computer Communications, Circuit Design and VLSI, Controls and Robotics. |
