希望在本科阶段进行深入研究以提高计算机工程领域的能力的学生，例如计算机，数字系统的设计，分析，开发和应用中出现的硬件，软件和系统，将会发现该课程是具有挑战性和有益的经验。该课程为计算机和数字系统的科学和工程学奠定了广泛的基础，重点是理论，分析，设计，自然科学以及通识教育环境中的离散和连续数学。霍夫斯特拉大学在人文和社会科学领域拥有广泛的资源，这使得文科部分尤其具有启发性。
Computer Engineering students at Hofstra learn to design hardware and software for the computing devices and systems that serve as the foundation for nearly every critical institution in society. Indeed, few degrees are more immediately valuable in today's workplace. Our graduates move into a variety of well-paying jobs, from software engineering, operating systems development, and the design of hardware systems and complex networks, to creating and managing mobile devices, sensing and control systems, biomedical devices, and more. Coursework for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,under the General Criteria and the Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria, include: digital devices and systems, electromagnetic fields and waves, and computer architectures, systems, and networks. Through this combination of theoretical tools, laboratory experimentation, and real-world problem solving, our graduates gain the skill and flexibility to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
