Minor in Computer Engineering
Computer engineers design, develop, and test computing systems. These systems range from embedded computers found in appliances and automobiles to hardware found in autonomous and robotic systems, to networks, to supercomputers. The necessity to prepare students for this field is further supported by the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which is providing over $50B for American research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development to advance the nation's leadership in computing technologies.
Coming in the Fall of 2025
¶¶Òõ̽̽’s Minor in Computer Engineering will provide students with a unique and exciting opportunity to explore this important and timely field in depth.
This 15-credit hour minor is being collaboratively offered by ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering programs.
The requirements for the minor are as follows:
| Course | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| CMPE 2210 | Computer Organization | 3 |
Or/And
| Course | Title | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| CMPE 2810 | Fundamentals of Digital Design | 4 |
At least 9 of the credits must be at the 3000-level or higher.
Allowable electives include courses related to computer architecture, computer networks, embedded systems programming, computer and VLSI design, and information theory.
