Computer Engineering, B.S.

Requirements for the Major:

A total of 40 courses including the following:

Engineering Science:

• ESC 100 -  Exploring Engineering

Computer Engineering Core:

Computer Engineering Electives:

Three additional CSC or ECE courses numbered 300 or higher. Students who take both CSC 250   and CSC 260   can count one of them as a Computer Engineering elective.

Capstone Design:

• ECE 497 -  Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Design Project 1
• ECE 498 -  Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Design Project 2
• ECE 499 -  Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Design Project 3

Electives:

Elective courses should be chosen in consultation with the student’s advisor to satisfy the Common Curriculum and to enhance individual educational objectives. These elective courses, in addition to the electives in math, science and computer engineering, can be customized to complete a minor and pursue specific interests.

Sample schedule starting with Math 113:

Students with different math backgrounds will have slightly different math sequences.

Note(s):

* Electives should be chosen to meet Common Curriculum requirements and attain individual educational goals. Students should work with their academic advisor to develop an appropriate plan of study.

** One course from CSC 103  - CSC 108  and either MTH 197  or MTH 199  should be taken before the winter term of the second year.

**** The fall term of the third year is the most common term for going on a full term abroad.

With appropriate planning, students may go on a winter or spring term abroad instead.
