Message from Chair

Choose computer engineering if you appreciate:
  • marvel at how "1"s and "0"s can do so much;
  • computer graphics such as the thing one can do with CGI;
  • developing new computer hardware and software for future applications;
  • designing new computer games;
  • creating new computer chips; and
  • writing programs for computer design and testing.
Major in Computer Engineering (CpE) 

Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21201-4012, telephone:  410-347-7700.  Website: www.abet.org.  Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in Computer Engineering.

What is ABET Accreditation and Why is it Important?  ABET accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares it's students.

  1. Accreditation helps students and their parents choose quality college programs.
  2. Accreditation enables employers to recruit graduates they know are well-prepared.
  3. Accreditation is used by registration, licensure, and certification boards to screen applicants.
  4. Accreditation gives colleges and universities a structured mechanism to assess, evalute, and improve the quality of their programs.

Double Major - EE and CE double majors must have a total of 18 elective credit hours and cannot use a required course in one major as an elective for the other major.

Major in Engineering Management Electronics and Computing Technical Speciality 

Many of today's global businesses require graduates with interdisciplinary skills in engineering and business.  This program provides you with an interdisciplinary eduction in engineering, business and management science, mathematics, and liberal education.  You choose an engineering specialty and a Thematic Sequence of courses in another discipline, as well as a variety of choices within the foundation courses of the Miami Plan.  Successful completion of this program will enable you to work with and manage engineers and technicians in an efficacious manner and to effectively communicate with managers in other fields. 

Computational Science & Engineering Graduate Program

The School of Engineering and Applied Science offers a multidisciplinary research-oriented master's degree in computational science and engineering.  This program has three tracks:  one in Computational Mechanics for students with a bachelor's degree in mechanical or manufacturing engineering; one in communication systems modeling and simulation for students with a BS in electrical or computer engineering; and a thrid in bioinformatics for students with a bachelor's degree in computer science.  For each of these, the MS program consists of 12-16 credit hours of courses from a computational core, 12 credit hours in the engineering or sicence field, and a research-based thesis.
