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 technology, 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, achievement 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.
