Computer engineers gain their unique expertise from both the electrical engineering, and computer science disciplines.

The electrical engineering background integrates the theory and design of electronics hardware with the knowledge of electronic circuits and devices, digital logic, digital systems, microprocessors, embedded systems, hardware organization, and computer system architecture.

The computer science background includes software engineering, data structures, operating systems, database design, analysis and design of algorithms, and programming languages.

The computer engineering program at St. Mary's University successfully combines these two disciplines to prepare a new kind of engineer with a solid foundation that provides for the design of both electronic hardware and computer software.

The B.S. in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
