BSCmpE计划旨在满足对硬件以及计算机和基于计算机的系统的软件设计方面的专业知识的工程师不断增长的需求。该计划是电气和计算机工程学系与计算机科学系之间的共同努力，旨在为毕业生做好进入计算机工程专业的准备。
Computer engineers research, design, develop, and test computer and computer-based equipment such as CPUs, high-performance computers, embedded computer systems, computer-based data acquisition and control systems, computer networks, and computer graphics hardware and software. The B.S.Cmp.E. program is tailored to meet the growing demand for engineers with expertise in computer and computer-based systems hardware and software design. This program, a joint effort between the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Computer Science, is designed to prepare graduates for entry into the computer engineering profession. They are employed by many large and small companies such as ADTRAN, Boeing, IBM and TVA. Since its beginning in 1998 the program has been continuously accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
