Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (code 3-4013)
This new program was recommended by the Academic
Senate on February 4, 1999, approved by the President on March 23,
1999
and approved by the Chancellor on January 20, 2000.
The Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science offers
programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
or a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The goal of both programs
is to prepare graduates for a wide variety of computer- related careers
by integrating the theoretical foundations of the discipline with
practical applications. The degree in Computer Engineering focuses
on computer hardware (design, construction, and operation of computer
systems) while the Computer Science degree places more emphasis on
computer software (programming). The high school student planning
to enter either program is advised to pursue a strong program in science
and mathematics.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (code 3-4013) (130 units)
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree program has
a two-part objective. The first is to provide students with a strong
background in mathematics, physics, and engineering science. The curriculum
includes a core of standard electrical engineering courses as well
as courses in digital systems, computer organization, programming
languages, and software, including operating systems, compiler theory
and software engineering. The second objective is to provide students
with the skills necessary to be effective contributors in a quality-oriented,
customer-focused environment. Courses throughout the program, especially
those in the junior and senior years, emphasize an open-ended, design-oriented
approach to solving engineering problems. Teamwork, communication
skills, and an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving are integrated
into the senior, computer engineering design courses.
