Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

The work of computer engineers impacts every industry in today’s interconnected world. Technology is an integral part of every organization from businesses to governments and requires continuous attention to compete in the globalized world.

Connecting the fields of electrical engineering and computer science, computer engineers design and improve new computer applications, embedded systems, software systems, data storage and security for government, defense, and industry.

Conducting research to design, computer engineers develop and refine computer systems and applications, continually pushing the limits of modern technology. With a thorough understanding of the principles of electrical engineering and computer science, computer engineers analyze hardware and software to troubleshoot and improve computer-related functionality — from singular devices and applications to whole systems and networks.

Curriculum

The computer engineering curriculum at The University of Scranton emphasizes design and analysis, using a project-based course structure to teach students how to apply their knowledge and analytical skill to create engineering solutions both independently and in interdisciplinary teams.

Students have, for example, designed web applications to serve as an online information system using Java, designed a Tic-Tac-Toe game using TTL logic circuits, and made a stopwatch using a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) programmed in VHDL.

Students concentrate on computer design throughout their four years as undergraduates. First-year students gain a strong foundation in science and mathematics. In the second and third years, students study computer algorithms, digital system design, computer architecture and programming, among other courses.

These courses provide the foundation for an in-depth, two-term senior capstone project where teams of students must design, construct, program and debug an autonomous robot.

  • Engineering students won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards at the 2017 IEEE Region 2 Activities Conference (SAC) at The Ohio State University. Read more here.
  • Three engineering students placed 3rd in The 2015 Intel-Cornell Cup, a prestigious national college-level engineering competition. The device they developed is a universal motor controller capable of operating a movable device in multiple dimensions.
