What you study

The major combines electrical engineering and computer science. Students study mathematics and physics, digital logic and electronics, computer architecture and microprocessors, embedded systems, networks, programming, operating systems and hardware-software design.

Career paths

Paths include embedded systems and firmware, the Internet of Things, systems and hardware integration, networking and telecommunications, automation and intelligent systems. Some graduates also enter software development after strengthening their practical skills.

Common misconceptions

Computer engineering is not computer repair or technical support.

It is not the same as computer science; it contains more electronics, hardware and engineering mathematics while still requiring substantial programming.
