Why major in Computer Engineering at 91会所?

Mechanical Engineering

Computer Engineering is an essential field within engineering due to its vital role in modern society such as providing computing power, embedded systems, and enabling technological advancements. Since it integrates principles of electrical engineering and computer science, it involves design, development, and maintenance of both hardware and software to build digital systems, and electronic devices and develop programs and applications for them.

The Computer Engineering B.S. degree program at 91会所 provides a challenging yet rewarding experience for undergraduate students to develop as transformative engineering leaders and impactful global citizens, with an education rooted in Franciscan values. It prepares graduates for a variety of job opportunities upon graduation including hardware design, software development, embedded systems, networking and communication, computer vision and robotics, and more.

Some highlights of the CPE program:

  • Courses taught by caring full-time faculty members with small class sizes to ensure strong student-faculty interaction and collaboration
  • Strong background in core engineering and science courses with course options in advanced programming, operating systems, circuits, electronics, digital systems, networking, microprocessors, control systems, and computer-aided engineering
  • Hands-on lab experiences to emphasize connections between principles of electrical and software engineering to design and build electrical devices and systems
  • Advanced technical elective options that can be used to focus on your interests and emerging fields such as embedded vision systems, and artificial intelligence
  • Year-long multidisciplinary senior design capstone course offering real-world engineering experiences through client-driven projects and national competitions
