Computer Engineering Undergraduate Program
Computer engineers design and develop hardware and software ranging from software applications to communication networks to components in computing systems to small embedded sensors.
Program Highlights
- Co-op program provides paid, flexible, industry experience and is a great way to earn money while getting experience.
- Nationally recognized design teams, like the NASA Mining Robotics Team, to apply what you learn in the classroom while you make friends, travel, and build your resume.
- Many scholarships are available to significantly decrease the cost of going to school, from major specific scholarships to some you’re automatically considered for when you apply.
- Tutoring and academic support that the College provides at no additional cost to undergraduate students majoring in any field of engineering and engineering technology.
