Computer Engineering [1]
From designing complex software systems to “chips” for next-gen computing machines, computer engineers do it all. Computer engineers play a crucial role in applied machine learning, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cyber security and much more.
If you love computer coding and computer hardware, then computer engineering is for you.
As a student in computer engineering, you will learn skills such as:
- Programming in multiple languages
- Computer architecture and hardware design
- computer systems such as 8-bit microcontrollers, single-board computers, econfigurable computers, and more
- Collaborating in teams
- Prototyping using the engineering design process
Exciting electives to fine-tune your degree include Computer Networks, Applied Machine Learning, Security Engineering, Computer Algorithms, Computer Architecture, VLSI Design, AR/VR systems.
