The program emphasizes design, development, and applications of electronic and telecommunications engineering. Graduates will have a sound background in modern electronic circuits and systems with a major focus in computer engineering. Computer Engineering majors receive a strong foundation in engineering science and design that will enable them to pursue productive careers in not only the electronics engineering field, but also as a foundation for careers in other areas such as business, management, and medicine.

Upon successful completion, graduates of this program should be able to:

• apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, and digital electronics to design embedded systems and programs that run them;
• design a system, component, or a process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;
• function in multidisciplinary teams;
• identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;
• demonstrate an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities;
• apply documented solutions to troubleshoot technical problems involving computing devices;
• demonstrate an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context;
• use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice;
• demonstrate a recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

Typical settings where the computer engineer can be employed include:

• Communication Systems
• Telecommunications Networks
• Analog Systems
• Hardware/Software Integration
• Digital & Microprocessor Systems.

To be eligible for the award of a Computer Engineering degree, a candidate must satisfactorily complete the minimum number of units prescribed for the degree. This would involve successfully completing the approved compulsory and elective courses of the School and other departments of the University.
