Twin Cities Campus
Computer Engineering B.Comp.E.
Computer Science and Engineering
Institute of Technology
•
Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2005.
•
Required credits to graduate with this degree: 126.
•
Required credits within the major: 78.
•
Degree: Bachelor of Computer Engineering.
The mission of the computer engineering program is to educate students in the core topics as well as in a broad set of specialties of computer engineering, to impart students with professional attributes that characterize a well-schooled engineer and citizen, and to provide students with opportunities for research experience in one of the leading computer engineering centers of scholarship.
The field of computer engineering resulted from the tremendous development of computers and, in particular, the evolution of microprocessors. The design process for almost every electronic system includes the specification and development of the control program for the system¿s microprocessor. A particular computer engineering job can be more closely related to hardware or software, to functional design or detailed design. The B.Comp.Eng. degree provides the background necessary for persons, with continuing study, to work in any of the many computer engineering subfields. The bachelor¿s degree itself does not, however, provide highly specialized knowledge in any particular subfield.
