Computer Engineering

Program Educational Objectives

The Computer Engineering Program will graduate Computer Engineering students who:

1. Are successfully practicing in a field that makes use of their undergraduate preparation with solid theoretical and hands-on knowledge of Circuits, Electronics, Computer Software, Hardware and Digital System Design.
2. Contribute to society through their undergraduate preparation, by evaluating alternatives, and appreciating how processes can be interrelated.
3. Pursue personal success by way of ethical, inclusive, and responsible behavior.
4. Understand the challenges of a dynamically and globalized changing world and are willing to adapt their skills through continuous learning and self-improvement.
5. Master effective communication skills to obtain success either working individually or within a diverse team environment.

Computer engineers apply the theories and principles of physics and mathematics to the design of hardware, software, networks and processes to solve technical problems. Hardware design engineers design and develop computer hardware, and embedded systems. Software engineers design and develop software systems for control and automation of manufacturing, business and management processes.

Student Outcomes

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
