Program Overview

Computer Engineering (BS)

Program Information

The Computer Engineering Baccalaureate program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Students are required to pass major courses with a grade of C- or better before taking follow-on courses.

Learning Outcomes

• Engineering Problems: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering science and mathematics.
• Engineering Design: An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration for public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• Communication: An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• Ethics: 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.
• Teamwork: 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.
• Experimentation: An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• Lifelong Learning: An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
