Catalog description:
|
The mission of
the computer engineering program is to educate students in the core
topics as well as in a broad set of specialties of computer
engineering, to impart students with professional attributes that
characterize a well-schooled engineer and citizen, and to provide
students with opportunities for research experience in one of the
leading computer engineering centers of scholarship.
The field of computer engineering resulted from the tremendous
development of computers and, in particular, the evolution of
microprocessors. The design process for almost every electronic system
includes the specification and development of the control program for
the system’s microprocessor. A particular computer engineering job can
be more closely related to hardware or software, to functional design
or detailed design. The B.Comp.Eng. degree provides the background
necessary for persons, with continuing study, to work in any of the
many computer engineering subfields. The bachelor’s degree itself does
not, however, provide highly specialized knowledge in any particular
subfield. |

Narrative Materials
|
|
Brief summary or overview of reason for proposed new program or rationale for changes:
|
Update to create Honors UHP sub-plan. |
Faculty for the
program have decided to add breadth and depth requirements to the
Technical Program mimicking the curriculum of its sister major,
Electrical Engineering. This change reflects those additional
requirements. |
