Computer engineering bridges the areas of electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineering graduates are sought by industries involved with industrial automation and embedded computer systems. This degree also prepares students for graduate school.

The computer engineering program provides an in-depth understanding of electrical engineering topics related to the design and use of computers as well as computer science topics that deal with software design and implementation, particularly those applications that involve real-time operation. The curriculum provides a broad-based understanding of both hardware and software and their interaction, as well as an opportunity to study particular aspects in more detail.
