专业描述

Computer Engineering deals with the electronic hardware side of electrical engineering and the programming side of computer science. Often, a student can study electrical engineering to cultivate a background in computer engineering. However, with the increasing needs of both industry and technology that drive our future, computer engineering has now become a discipline by itself. Typically, a computer engineering curriculum provides a background in three broad areas—hardware, software and hardware-software integration. Students will also have the opportunity to explore fundamental topics such as microprocessors, computer architecture, digital signal processing, operating systems, data communications and other related material. In addition, the program includes core engineering subjects that are common to all engineering disciplines. The program educational objectives of the computer engineering program are: Graduates who enter professional practice will demonstrate progression toward positions of technical responsibility or managerial leadership in their discipline. Graduates who pursue full-time graduate or advanced professional study will successfully complete their programs of study in their discipline. Graduates will meet their own and societal needs that are consistent with the goals of life-long learning, professional ethics, and leadership.
