BS in (BSCMPE) Information for Undergraduate Students

Who Are Computer ?

Computer engineers design, test, build, and apply both hardware and applications for various com- puter networks. Computer Engineers must be fluent in programming languages, and various opportunities are available to those interested in . These engineers research, develop, test, and are involved in the installation and manufacturing of computer hardware such as, circuit boards, modems, printers, chips, and . Some Computer Engineers have a background in 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 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.

Areas of Specialization

 Electronic Design Automation  Embedded  Networking and Communications  VLSI Systems Design
