计算机工程（CpE）通过改进影响我们日常生活的基础数字硬件，计算网络和生产软件系统来推动人类进步。作为一门工程学科，它专注于权衡吞吐能力与从便携式嵌入式设备和微型传感器节点到超级计算机的所有类型计算机的硬件/软件/能源成本之间的权衡。CpE领域的机会包括计算机系统设计，移动和嵌入式计算设备，传感器网络，可重配置逻辑，软件工程以及机器智能应用程序等职业。
As a computer engineering major, you'll explore ways to improve the underlying digital hardware, computing networks, and production software systems that impact our everyday lives. Your work will help advance our society, covering areas such as computer systems design, mobile and embedded computing devices, sensor networks, reconfigurable logic, software engineering and machine intelligence applications., Computer engineering coursework focuses on the tradeoff of execution throughput compared to hardware/software/energy costs of all types of computers from portable embedded devices and miniature sensor nodes, up through supercomputers. You'll learn from renowned faculty that have been engaged in cutting-edge research and have an opportunity to pursue undergraduate research in your area of interest with these faculty. Additionally, courses provide hands-on learning where you can apply what you've learned to real-world situations.
