The Office of Academic Advising connects faculty with current, prospective, and former students in the School of Science and Computer Engineering. The Academic Advisors and staff strive to ease students' transition into upper-level coursework.
The SCE Newsletter is for faculty, staff, students, university friends and community members to help them feel connected with the School of Science and Computer Engineering. This newsletter will tell our success stories, inspire with feature stories about what people are doing at all levels across our school..
Computer Engineering: Bachelor of Science (BS) | Overview
The plan in Computer Engineering leads to the bachelor of science (BS) degree. This engineering plan is accredited by the Computer Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET http://www.abet.org. Computer Engineering emphasizes the study of large and small computer systems for industrial, scientific and business applications. Computer hardware and software concepts, along with engineering-level mathematics, prepare students for jobs in computer-based industries as well as for admission into the graduate plan in Computer Engineering.
The culminating experience for a student in this plan is CENG 4625 / CENG 4626 Senior Projects. Students desiring to complete this plan in 4 years should concurrently enroll at UHCL after completing 30 semester hours at the transfer institution.
The mission of the Computer Engineering plan is to provide students instruction in the pragmatic application of core knowledge by which they can specify, design and develop large and small computer systems for industrial and scientific purposes. There is an emphasis on microcomputer-based embedded systems. The curriculum includes sub-plans in software engineering and telecommunications.
The Program Educational Objectives of the Computer Engineering program are:
Computer Engineering graduates will have gainful employment in industry, academia or government.
Computer Engineering graduates will have assumed additional responsibilities at their place of employment greater than those normally evidenced by entry level engineers.
Computer Engineering graduates that chose to pursue higher education opportunities or certificate programs, have been accepted and are on track for a timely graduation.
Computer Engineering graduates who have an interest in registration have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
Computer Engineering graduates participate in and are considered valuable resources in their service to the community.
Career Opportunities
The Computer Engineering program prepares students for careers in a wide spectrum of technical positions in computing and engineering. Graduates of this program qualify for employment as Engineers, Systems Engineers, Programmers, Project Engineers, Software Engineers, Technical Staff, Design Engineers, and Managers.
