The Computer Engineering curriculum comprises several main components which provide a foundation for understanding computer engineering, teach how to design and program to create solutions to real-life problems, and help develop thinking and communication skills. And group assignments teach the importance of team work and individual contributions.
By the time of graduation, students are expected to demonstrate:
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data
- An ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- An ability to communicate effectively
- The acquisition of the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solution in a global, economic, environmental and social context
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
- A knowledge of contemporary issues
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
