除了核心计算机科学课程外，计算机工程学位还需要在模拟和数字电路中开设几门课程。该学位为学生提供了有关计算机工作原理的更深入的知识，因此适合那些对开发计算硬件或与硬件直接通信的软件感兴趣的学生，例如VLSI，嵌入式系统，设备驱动程序，实时操作系统，机器人技术和别的。该学位课程的课程强调基于项目的学习。大多数班级都需要小团队项目。这些课程在为期两个学期的最高项目课程中达到高潮，在该课程中，学生组成团队并与客户见面，收集需求，设计，实施，测试和部署软件或硬件项目。
Students will demonstrate an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. Students will demonstrate an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. Students will demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. Students will demonstrate an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. Students will demonstrate an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. Students will demonstrate an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. Students will demonstrate an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
