Computer engineering focuses on creating and improving systems that utilize computers and advanced digital logic components. These systems serve various purposes including computing, networking, entertainment, data management, AI, and automation. Computer engineers examine both the inner workings of computer systems and their interaction with other fields like healthcare, transportation, and telecommunications. The program starts with foundational courses in math, science, and engineering principles before progressing to specialized upper-level studies. Students can concentrate on either computer systems/software (covering architecture, interfaces, and programming) or logic design (focusing on circuit development at multiple levels). Both paths offer comprehensive training with specialized knowledge.
The Electrical & Computer Engineering program's educational goals are designed to meet industry needs. Our objectives include: Graduates will add value to organizations through expertise, innovation, and workplace contributions that may lead to patents, recognitions, or publications. Graduates will enhance their skills via continuing education and professional growth. Graduates will assume leadership roles in their professional fields and communities. The Computer Engineering major requires a minimum of 138 units, not counting General Education requirements.
