Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

  • Multidisciplinary Design Experience: In your final year, you will complete a two-semester, two-course experience where you will work on a team to develop a solution to a real-world engineering problem.  
  • Gain Hands-On Career Experience: Four blocks of engineering co-op mean nearly a year of hands-on, full-time, paid work experience in industry.
  • Strong Career Paths: Students are hired for co-ops and full-time positions by companies such as Alion Science and Technology, Bose, Collins Aerospace, U.S. Department of Defense, IBM, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, MIT, Lockheed Martin, Tesla, The Boeing Company, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

RIT’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering 

In the computer industry, there is a great demand for computer engineers who can do it all—from designing high performance computer hardware components and software to developing next-generation intelligent, resilient, and sustainable products and appliances that contain embedded systems.

Courses in Computer Engineering

RIT’s BS in computer engineering begins with the fundamental math, science, and technology courses that are essential to the curriculum. Emphasis is placed on selected areas of computer science, software engineering, and electrical engineering, including:

  • Data structures
  • Object-oriented programming languages
  • Circuits
  • Electronics
  • Principles of software engineering

Upper-level computer engineering courses prepare you to integrate hardware and software by formulating complete system solutions. This is achieved through courses in:

  • Computer architecture
  • Digital systems
  • Interfacing
  • Computer networks
  • Digital signal processing

Concentration areas provide you with an opportunity to gain additional in-depth knowledge in an area of particular interest within computer engineering. If you’re interested in conducting research, we highly encourage you to choose a concentration in an area of research that interests you and corresponds to the research initiatives of our engineering faculty. Concentrations are available in: 

  • Software
  • High-performance computing
  • Computer architecture
  • Integrated circuits and systems
  • Networks and security
  • Computer vision and machine intelligence
  • Signal processing, control, and embedded systems

Learn more about the Student Learning Outcomes and Program Educational Objectives for the computer engineering bachelor’s degree.

Hands-On Experience in Computer Engineering

In RIT’s BS in computer engineering you will gain valuable hands-on experience through a senior design capstone experience, undergraduate research, and more.

Senior Design Capstone Experience: Computer engineering students complete a senior project that consists of a two-semester capstone design experience. You will work in multidisciplinary design project teams of four to seven students from different engineering majors, including biomedical, computer, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. Teams are assigned to projects before the start of the first course. Most projects are initiated by industry sponsors, community partners, or faculty members; however, students may also propose their own project ideas. While completing your senior design project, you will develop engineering management and project organization skills, learn to communicate your ideas effectively within a multidisciplinary team, and present your project and ideas to a diverse audience of students, faculty, and industrial partners.

Furthering Your Education in Computer Engineering

Combined Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degrees: RIT offers Combined Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degrees that enable you to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in as little as five years, giving you a competitive advantage.

  • Computer Engineering BS/MS: In this combined dual degree option you’ll gain a foundation in computer engineering in the bachelor’s degree program while the  computer engineering master’s focuses on the design and development of computer and computer-integrated systems, with consideration to engineering factors as function, performance, security, and sustainability.
  • +1 MBA Early Acceptance Pathway: Successful RIT applicants who are offered admission into the BS in computer engineering as an incoming first-year student may also be offered conditional early acceptance into the +1 MBA Early Acceptance Pathway. Learn more about the +1 MBA Early Acceptance Pathway.
  • +1 MBA: Students who enroll in a qualifying undergraduate degree have the opportunity to add an MBA to their bachelor’s degree after their first year of study, depending on their program. Learn more about the +1 MBA. 

What’s The Difference Between Engineering and Engineering Technology?

It’s a question we’re asked all the time. While there are subtle differences in the course work between the two, choosing a major in engineering or engineering technology is more about identifying what you like to do and how you like to do it.

Students whose native language is not English must submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), PTE Academic or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Students may self-report their scores in the following ways:

  • On their application for admission
  • Via email at admissions@rit.edu
  • From your school/college counselor via mail or email

Admitted students will be required to submit their official scores once they choose to enroll at RIT.

All admitted students scoring in a conditional admission range will be tested by RIT's English Language Center upon arrival at RIT. The results of this testing will determine if English instruction for non-native speakers will be required before a student may begin academic courses. RIT also offers conditional admission where students can integrate English Language studies with their academic program.

If your scores fall below the conditional admission range, you may apply for English Language Center admission directly.

TOEFL - 79; PET - 58; IELTS - 6.5

If you have completed your most recent studies outside of the US and have demonstrated adequate resources to cover the entire cost of attending RIT, an I-20 will be sent with your acceptance letter.

Students who are awarded merit or need-based scholarships may use scholarships awarded as part of the documentation of support. The total support, which may include the merit or need-based scholarships if applicable, must total at least $70,000 USD in order for RIT to issue the I-20 or DS-2019 forms necessary to apply for a student visa.

If you will begin your studies at RIT within 5 months of attending a US secondary school, college or university, you will be asked to complete a SEVIS Transfer form with the assistance of your International Counselor.

Once we receive the SEVIS Transfer form, an acceptable Declaration of Financial Support and bank documentation, and you have sent RIT a non-refundable $500 enrollment deposit, your SEVIS record will be transferred from your previous school to RIT and an I-20 will be sent to you.

 

 

You may submit your fall application starting on August 1. Spring Semester or Summer Term applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
