B.S. in Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org

Computer Engineers are trained to solve problems in both computer hardware and software systems, from a laptop to an airplane, to make sure that they work properly.

Students in this program will specialize in learning computer programming, digital logic design, digital systems design, computer organization & architecture, computer networks, data structures & algorithms, parallel programming, software engineering, operating systems, data mining, and computer security. In addition, students gain extensive experience with the most advanced engineering tools including both computer hardware and software.

Careers

The job opportunities for computer engineers are abundant. Computer engineers can work for the government or in industries such as telecommunications, computers, semiconductors, biomedical and aerospace, to name a few. Graduates of the Computer Engineering program at St. Mary’s have been employed by companies of all sizes, including Texas Instruments, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Rackspace, USAA, National Instruments, Southwest Research Institute, Boeing, Accenture, Samsung, and the University of Texas Health Science Center.
