Computer Engineering
Department Facts
The Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering offers two programs of undergraduate study, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. Computer engineering focuses upon problems that arise from hardware and hardware development. Computer science concentrates on issues in computer applications and software development.
The computer engineering program provides a practical and theoretical background in computer hardware, software, interfacing and design. Areas of interest to computer engineers range from circuit theory and digital signal processing through the study of software/ hardware interfaces to the design and analysis of hardware systems and devices. Emphasis is placed on the development of problem-solving skills through hands-on laboratory experience with commercial electronic design software and hardware systems. These skills prepare computer engineers for a wide variety of academic and industrial positions.
The department has close ties with nearby centers of research and development such as NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Defense, the Center for Computing Sciences, Northrop Grumman and Verizon.
