Modern society is electrified by lightning-fast technology, as playwright Tennessee Williams once observed. Yet electrical and computer engineers continually demonstrate otherwise through their innovations.
From urban illumination to orbital satellites, from microchips to telecom networks and sound systems, their creations rely on electrical power and the specialists who devise methods to utilize it effectively.
The Computer Engineering (CompE) program seamlessly connects Computer Science and Electrical Engineering disciplines. These professionals work at the intersection of hardware and software in computing system creation. The CompE coursework integrates elements from both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering programs.
CompE students gain comprehensive foundational knowledge. The curriculum encompasses diverse subjects including STEM fundamentals, circuit theory, economic principles for engineers, computational methods, coding practices, and computer architecture. Learners explore multiple domains (such as digital systems design and processor structures) through both software and hardware perspectives, ensuring thorough understanding. Furthermore, these educational components converge in a culminating senior design project that synthesizes knowledge from Electrical, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science disciplines.
