Chico的CSU的计算机工程计划弥补了电气/电子工程与计算机科学之间的课程鸿沟。该程序旨在为计算机硬件和软件设计的理论和实践以及两者与可用计算机系统的集成提供广泛的背景知识。该课程包括逻辑设计，微处理器系统设计，计算机接口，编程和数据结构，计算机体系结构和汇编语言编程，嵌入式系统设计以及系统需求和设计等课程。该计划已获得工程技术认证委员会（ABET）的认可。
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering bridges the curriculum gap between electrical/electronic engineering and computer science. The program is designed to provide a broad background in both the theory and practice of computer hardware and software design and their integration into usable advanced digital systems. The curriculum includes courses in embedded systems that employ microprocessors and field-programmable gate arrays, software engineering, computer architecture, high performance computing, design of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, microelectronic circuits, computer networking, and cybersecurity. Technical electives are designed to enable students to gain expertise in computer hardware and software as well as fundamental knowledge in areas such as encryption.<br><br>The rapid adoption of the IoT, the advancements in autonomous systems, and the ubiquitous integration of microprocessors and field-programmable gate arrays in homes and in industrial applications means that there is a tremendous demand for computer engineers who optimize the design of these systems to minimize energy consumption yet remain extremely responsive, can design innovative systems to enhance our quality of life, and ensure the safety of the systems on which we rely from malicious actors. Job prospects are excellent, computer engineering students are some of the most heavily recruited graduates on campus and the average starting salaries have been significantly higher than those offered to mechanical and civil engineering graduates. Our California State University, Chico students gain the knowledge and the hands-on design skills needed to immediately contribute to the profession and to build highly rewarding careers.
