Bachelor's Major
Computer Engineering
Standing at the intersection of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Computer Engineering focuses on the 'brains' of digital systems. While CS focuses on software and EE on circuits, CompE focuses on the integration of the two—designing the chips, firmwares, and sensors that make devices smart. It is the discipline of optimized computing hardware.
Admission & Aptitude
Interest in Digital Logic (Binary math)
Both coding (C/Assembly) and circuits intuition
Obsessive attention to efficiency and speed
Understanding of computer architecture
Curriculum Pillars
Interfacing
Low-Level Software
Hardware Architecture
What You'll Learn
Design and optimize microprocessor architectures for speed and power.
Write low-level firmware that talks directly to hardware registers.
Bridge the gap between physical circuit boards and high-level software.
Learning Style
The ultimate hybrid. You will write code, but it will be code that directly manipulates electricity (Assembly/C). You will design circuits, but they will be logical circuits that process information. Expect to debug both software logic and hardware signals simultaneously.
Is This You?
You wonder 'how does the computer actually know what x + y means?'.
You like optimizing for speed and efficiency at the metal level.
You can handle both abstract software and physical hardware concepts.
