BS in Computer Engineering (BSCMPE) Information for Undergraduate Students
Who Are Computer Engineers?
Computer engineers design, test, build, and apply both hardware and software applications for various com- puter networks. Computer Engineers must be fluent in programming languages, and various opportunities are available to those interested in computer hardware. These engineers research, develop, test, and are involved in the installation and manufacturing of computer hardware such as, circuit boards, modems, printers, chips, and systems. Some Computer Engineers have a background in Electrical Engineering because the fields are related.
What Can Computer Engineers Do?
Typical careers may find computer engineers collaborating with medical doctors to model and simulate com- plex systems, embedding computers in advanced communications and transportation networks, and interact- ing with other engineers and professionals in the design of new kinds of computational devices. Many com- puter engineering graduates work as scientists, inventing new kinds of electronic technology, programming new kinds of instruments, and developing new devices to help people.

Scholarships
ECE Department scholarships are available to Computer Engineering (CMPE) undergraduate students, Electrical Engineering (EE) undergraduate students, and to Engineering General Resources (EGR) undergraduate students expecting to be admitted to either EE or CMPE for the term of the scholarship. Many awards are based on aca- demic merit and not on financial need.
