The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Technology teaches students to work at the interface between hardware and software, linking digital technology to computer applications. Students study software design and testing, operating systems, programming languages, digital systems, computer organization and architecture, micro-controller systems and the latest programmable chip technology. All students will complete a capstone course in which they propose, design, build, test and deliver a computer-based system.
The B.S. degree in Computer Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria.
