Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering

Summary

The little classes at Lawrence Tech permit you to really become familiar with your professors. The depth and breadth of the experience really was surprising and advantageous.” Sarah Witting, BSCE’06, MSECE’07, Engineer, Nissan Technical Center

Computer engineers play an important role within the design and upkeep of large systems that need sophisticated control, including aircraft, automobiles, medical instrumentation, telecommunication systems, and factory automation. They're a driving pressure behind the majority of today’s technology, including wireless communications, along with the growth of computer systems into all areas of everyday existence, they continue being in great demand. Computer engineers design tech-nology for a multitude of consumer, industrial, commercial, and military programs. Transportation, electronic devices, aerospace, robotics – they are a couple of from the industries that hire large amounts laptop or computer engineers.

The Bs in Computer Engineering program at Lawrence Technological College combines the very best of electrical engineering and information technology. Become familiar with the basic principles of circuits, systems, and software connected with the style of prrr-rrrglable systems employed for general purpose computing, communications, control, or signal processing. As the program provides a strong foundation in information technology and electrical engineering, you'll study mathematics and physics, which broaden your understanding and knowledge of the pc engineering area. Advanced courses offer you depth in selected areas and contact with the concept of engineering design, and you may take specialized elective courses in a number of areas. Computer engineering students will also be situated to pursue graduate programs either in information technology or electrical engineering.

Computer engineers need knowledge of both software and hardware facets of computer systems, along with the capability to blend the 2 to produce optimum system designs. With this thought, Lawrence Tech’s Bs in Computer Engineering program provides you with several courses that deal particularly using the challenge of integrated product design. Additionally towards the electrical engineering and information technology core, this program includes one math/science elective, two electrical engineering electives, and something computer engineering elective. The capstone senior project spans two semesters and requires the design, construction, and testing of the computer-engineering innovation. Past student projects include building computer controls for any jet engine, a pc-controlled on-board tire inflator, a fireplace-fighting robot, along with a keyless door-entry system.

The pc engineering program is accredited through the Accreditation Board for Engin-eering and Technology.

Why LTU?

The Bs in Computer Engineering program at Lawrence Tech combines academic excellence with an abundance of working experience. Co-op programs and industry-backed projects offer valuable contacts with leading companies and allow you to mix compensated on-the-job knowledge about college. You may also have fun playing the Lear Business Program, which concentrates on what must be done to produce, promote, and market items and services. An execllent chance may be the Global Engineering program, which arranges that you should work and focus abroad – a particularly valuable experience of planning you to definitely compete inside a global economy.
