Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Engineering

University of California - Santa Barbara

Computer engineering focuses on the design of computer systems. As a student in the Computer Engineering program, you’ll learn hardware design, software concepts, robotics, circuit design, and networking. You’ll gain more software-based training than electrical engineering students, and the curriculum is focused more on the lowest-level interactions among software and hardware, digital hardware design, and peripheral-systems interfacing. Electrical and Computer Engineering is a broad field encompassing many diverse areas such as computers and digital systems, control, communications, computer engineering, electronics, signal processing, electromagnetics, electro-optics, physics and fabrication of electronic and photonic devices. As in most areas of engineering, knowledge of mathematics and the natural sciences is combined with engineering fundamentals and applied to the theory, design, analysis, and implementation of devices and systems for the benefit of society.
