Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering major is offered in conjunction with the Computer Science Department and combines studies of engineering and computer technol-ogy, including both hardware and software. Our computer engineering program is designed to prepare graduates who will:
1) demonstrate a working knowledge of mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, and computer science by developing successful careers and/or postgraduate study relating to digital system design, embedded systems, computer architecture, software design and development and/or project management; 2) meet the demands and challenges of the ever-changing computer-related professions by assessing multiple design solutions and finding creative applications of fundamental engineering principles; 3) adopt the scientific method as the cornerstone of their lifelong education and use their broad understanding of human institutions, achievements and values to become leaders in their chosen fields of endeavor; 4) display unwavering high ethical standards; and (5) contribute to the needs of, and in other ways enhance, their local communities and the world at large by applying problem-solving skills and critical and independent thinking to a broad range of projects that can produce technical innovation aimed at satisfying the future needs of society. Computer Engineering majors are required to take Physics 200, 201, 202 and 302; Computer Science 121, 122 and 221; Engineering 100, 110, 210, 220, 230, 310, 332, 333, 400, 410, 422, 433 and 494; Chemistry 105; Philosophy 255 (A, C or D), and Mathematics 121, 122, 201, 222 and 321. Computer Engineering majors may substitute Physics 200 for one of their Natural and Physical Science Core courses, and they may take up to 19 credits in up to three semesters at Elizabethtown without paying a credit overload fee. Students who successfully complete the requirements for the Computer Engineering major will have their Humanities Core requirement waived.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering Management
The Industrial Engineering Management major is offered in cooperation with the Business Department and combines engineering physics with business administration. Our industrial engineering management program is designed to prepare graduates who will:
1) develop successful careers relating to the management, design, development and/or implementation of highly efficient complex industry systems; 2) meet the demands and challenges of the rapidly changing world and the global marketplace, researching and developing novel technologies to solve the problems and address market forces in industry; 3) continue to develop their technical and professional skills throughout their careers; 4) display unwavering high ethical standards; and 5) contribute to the needs of, and in other ways enhance, their local communities and the world at large. Industrial Engineering Management majors are required to take Physics 200 and 201; Engineering 100, 110, 210, 262, 391, 400, 411 and 492; and two of the following: Engineering 263, 264, 321 or Earth Science 275; Mathematics 121, 122, 201, 222 and 251; Accounting 270; Computer Science 121 and 341; Chemistry 105; Economics 101; either Economics 102 or Business Administration 380; Business Administration 265, 466 and either 330 or 333; either Business Administration 248 or Mathematics 331; English 282; Philosophy 255 (A, C or D); and Psychology 105. Industrial Engineering Management majors may substitute Physics 200 for one of their Natural and Physical Science Core courses. Students who successfully complete the requirements for the Industrial Engineering Management major will have their Humanities Core requirement waived. They may take up to 19 credits in up to three semesters at Elizabethtown without paying a credit overload fee.
