Computer Engineering Description
Digital Systems: Foundation and Engineering Design
This program produces graduates with skills in designing computer
hardware and peripherals, and emphasizes the electrical
characteristics of the computer itself. It is focused particularly on
designing the computer hardware, associated core software structures
and their interfaces.
The program emphasizes the design and fabrication of
computing devices, the inclusion of computers in real-time systems,
and the underlying computer technology involved in computer and
communication networks. Focus areas include real-time computing
systems, communication and computing networks, and VLSI
design/fabrication. Students in the program get a strong grounding in
both computer science and electrical engineering.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE), and
requires a minimum of 126 credits
The program is jointly administered by the Computer Science and
Engineering and the Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department.
