Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering

The bachelor of science degree with a major in computer engineering is an interdisciplinary major offered jointly by the Computer Science and Engineering, and Physics Departments. Administered by the Computer Science and Engineering Department, the major prepares students for employment and/or graduate programs involving robotics, biomedical implants, small instrumentation, telecommunications, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, and other complex hardware-software systems. The degree requires 96-100 hours in the major. Students in this major are required to pass a comprehensive examination during their senior year consisting of a programming project and an oral examination.

Program Objectives

1. Develop Christian leaders who serve God and humanity through active service to their family, church, job, and global community.
2. Develop competent computer engineers who work in situations in which they apply their broad understanding of computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics.
3. Develop computer engineers who engage in life long learning by applying and adapting their understanding of fundamental principles in a constantly changing field.
4. Develop computer engineers who utilize their project experience to solve complex engineering problems using a formal design methodology.
5. Develop computer engineers with a strong work ethic, good communication skills, and who act in an ethically responsible manner.
