The B.S in Computer Engineering is designed to cover the engineering aspects of both hardware and software -- a total computer systems perspective. All computer engineering students take courses in the following areas: electrical circuits, electronics, digital circuits, computer architecture ranging from microcomputers to mainframes, interfacing, programming languages ranging from assembler to high level, data structures, and analysis of algorithms, operating systems, software engineering, and microcomputer systems. The Computer Engineering degree places stronger emphasis on digital Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits and systems, microprocessor interfacing and system design, and computer system architecture and design.
