Design the Technology of Tomorrow with a Computer Engineering Degree
Do you love working with computers? Have you ever taken one apart or assembled your own computer just for fun? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you might have what it takes to become a computer engineer. A computer engineer researches, designs, and develops computer hardware, including computer chips, microprocessors, circuit boards, computer systems, and related equipment. Our Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides an overview of the foundational principles you need to design and build the computer hardware of tomorrow.
In this program, you will learn a combination of computer science and electrical engineering in order to focus on producing computers. You will learn not only how to build computers but how to design and conduct experiments and analyze the data from those tests.
Our goal is to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills essential to be a positive force in computer engineering-related industries. Our professors seek to know you individually and impart the knowledge and ability they possess to identify and solve engineering problems.
