Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Electrical engineering and computer engineering disciplines are concerned with the development and application of electrical and computer technology to enhance and enrich all life. Electrical and computer engineers, as part of this mission, are engaged in a wide variety of activities that include: Space exploration and remote sensing, Process control and automation, Automatic control systems for use in robotics, missiles, aircraft, and manufacturing plants, Electric power generation and distribution, environmentally responsible generation and use of energy, Audio- video- and data-communication systems, and satellite communications, Digital processing of signals and images using the computer, Design and manufacturing of faster and more capable microprocessors for the computers of tomorrow and Applications of technology in the healthcare field through computerized ultrasound, radiology, tomography and imaging systems, computer-aided diagnosis and treatment, and tele-surgery. The applications listed above require a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, thus requiring electrical and computer engineering students to go through a substantial set of courses in these areas. In addition, today's engineers also must be aware of a wide variety of global, social, ethical, economic and environmental issues that are relevant to the systems they design and build. Our bachelor's degree programs include courses and projects designed to build this awareness. The electrical and computer engineering program mission is consistent with the mission of the University and the School of Engineering. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has several well-equipped modern laboratories for computation, simulation and measurement. Individual laboratories to support elective courses in the areas of computers, control, digital signal processing, computer vision and image processing and power also are available to students.
