Our Undergraduate Programs
Computer Engineering
Bachelor of Science
About the Program
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Engineering program emphasizes the design, development and implementation of computing systems by integrating principles from both electrical engineering and computer science. The program combines strong theoretical foundations with practical applications, focusing on areas such as computer architecture, embedded computing and control systems, high-performance computing, cloud and networked systems, hardware and cybersecurity, smart appliances, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Program Curriculum
Students in the Computer Engineering program engage in a curriculum that balances
theory and application through integrated coursework and laboratory experiences. From
the first semester, students are introduced to the design process and systems thinking.
The curriculum offers both depth and breadth through a combination of core and elective
courses. Electives can be selected from seven specialized areas: (i) High-Performance
Computing; (ii) Local and Wide Area Networks (iii) Embedded Systems; (iv) Hardware
and Cyber Security; (v) Controls and Robotics; (vi) Software; and (vii) Electrical
Systems. In their senior year, students complete a two-semester capstone project,
providing hands-on, real-world experience and preparing them for professional careers
in the field.

About the Program
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering program emphasizes the design, development and implementation of complex circuits for a wide range of applications, including energy, healthcare, communication, computing, transportation and robotics. By integrating strong theoretical foundations with practical applications, the program offers focused study in key areas such as electronics and semiconductors, communication and signal processing, robotics and control systems, and power and energy systems.
Program Curriculum
Students benefit from a curriculum that balances theory and hands-on experience through
integrated coursework and laboratory sequences. From the first semester, students
are introduced to design processes and systems thinking. The curriculum provides both
depth and breadth through a combination of core and elective courses. Electives can
be chosen from five specialized areas: (i) Communication and Signal Processing; (ii)
Control Systems; (iii) Electronics and Semiconductors; (iv) Power and Energy Systems;
and (v) Computing Systems. In their senior year, students complete a two-semester
capstone project, gaining real-world experience and preparing for professional careers
in the field.
