Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Computer engineering is where software meets hardware. It's for people who want to understand the code and the circuits that make it possible for us to have smartphones, robots, driverless vehicles, computer networks, medical sensors and millions of other devices. In this program, you'll get to work with your head and your hands as you discover how to be a translator, making software and hardware work together as efficiently as possible. It's part computer science, part electrical engineering ... and all pretty amazing.What will I learn?As a computer engineering (CE) major, your first few years will include courses in software, such as data structures and object-oriented programming, as well as classes in math, physics, chemistry and circuits that help you understand how computer hardware functions. Once you have this foundation, you’ll take more technical courses in computer organization, operating systems and microprocessors, as well as electives that let you explore interests in computer architecture, networks and other advanced topics. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to focus on your communications skills, teamwork and leadership ability.
