Computer Engineering
Major
Computer engineering is the analysis and design of computer systems, including the study of basic electronics, digital circuits, computer hardware, algorithms and data structures, programming languages, numerical and symbolic computation, operating systems, networking, software methodology, artificial intelligence, and robotics. A dual major with computer science is available.
- The computer engineering major is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
- Externally funded research of more than $4 million is being conducted by faculty, graduate assistants, and undergraduate students in human-computer communications, intelligent interfaces, neural networks, optical computing, VLSI, robotics, and visualization, in addition to other areas.
