Students master programming languages, circuit theory and other knowledge and skills by working with hands-on projects, combining real-world system design and development practices with the fundamentals of computer engineering.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides the student with the opportunity to acquire a broad background in computing, programming languages, circuit theory, computer design, telecommunication systems, embedded control systems, real-time systems, and software engineering. The curriculum includes courses in general education, computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, and the capstone sequence of senior design classes.

This added emphasis on real-time embedded control systems and hardware/software interfaces places the Computer Engineering program in a unique position to increase employment opportunities after graduation. In addition, the program includes significant project work that is designed to prepare students to work as part of a team on the development of complex systems including both software and hardware. It allows the student opportunities to build capabilities in teamwork, designing to requirements, and quality assurance techniques.

The overall objective of the Computer Engineering program at Prescott is to produce graduates who will be successful practitioners of computer engineering. The program objectives to measure our accomplishment of this goal are engineers who:

• Demonstrate achievements in their chosen profession

• Contribute to the development of the profession

• Engage in professional growth

• Contribute to the welfare of society through service
