Curriculum And Overview Of Courses

The Core Curriculum For CpE Majors

The following section outlines the core curriculum for Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. In addition, course scheduling information is provided within this section.
 

Prerequisite Structure

The prerequisite structure for required computer science and electrical engineering courses required for the B.S.Cp.E. is diagramed in the CpE curriculum, "Undergraduate Computer Engineering Curriculum". When selecting a course schedule, it is imperative that this prerequisite structure be followed absolutely. For example, a student may take ECE-202 only if ECE-201 has been completed successfully.

Technical Electives

Only one technical elective (400-level) is required for the computer engineering undergraduate degree program. Electrical engineering students must select a minimum of four technical electives.
