Build your future. Computer engineering is one of the fastest-growing careers. The U.S. Department of Labor projects a 10 to 20 percent growth in the demand for computer engineers by 2014. Computer engineering degree involves the analysis, design and implementation of hardware and/or software for embedded programmable devices, biometrics, business, and medical systems; including research development and design of prototyping better microchips for industrial robots.

Build Our Future: Computer engineers will play a significant role; with collaboration with designers and engineers from other disciplines to develop new technologies ranging from, intelligent system and MP3 players to aircraft systems.  

Why Computer Engineering?

Computing technology is moving rapidly than ever before. The Computer Engineering (CPE) degree program is a multi-disciplinary program of study that promotes the integration of computer hardware, software, interfacing and design through computer science and engineering curriculums. Computer Engineering majors explore the design and analysis of modern computing systems. It involves the design and development of future computing systems, and the study of the theory and techniques used in designing hardware and software.

The use of computers in our daily lives is increasing dramatically. Hardware and software technology changes rapidly and computer-related companies are always looking for professionals who are experts in the area of computer engineering. Arguably, computer engineering is the hottest area for job opportunities. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the need for computer engineers is projected to grow between 10% - 20% by 2014. At the same time, data from the 2003 National Science Foundation’s survey shows that the median salaries for computer engineering graduates are the highest at the bachelor’s degree level, and the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and CNN Money repeatedly rank Computer Engineering as the top three “Most lucrative college degrees.” (more......)
