Computer engineering is concerned with design and implementation of digital systems such as computer systems, computer-based control systems, interfaces between digital and analog systems, interfaces between hardware and software, and control software for embedded computer systems. This program spans the disciplines of both electrical engineering and computer science, and can be described as bridging the area between the two.

Computers are used in almost every device or system manufactured today, from large multicomputer systems to cell phones and credit card reading devices. In addition, they are used in signal processing applications, speech recognition, medical imaging, and picture and data communication. The Internet is possible in part because of advances made in computing machines and data communications by people working in the capacity of computer engineers. Careers for computer engineers are found in all phases of the production of these devices and systems, from design, manufacturing, and maintenance to marketing and sales.

Recognizing the changing trend in engineering education, the Computer Engineering program has adopted a multidisciplinary approach for teaching and learning by incorporating a series of newly developed project-oriented courses based on the spiral curriculum

Program Outcomes:

• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
• Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Unlike the traditional model of medicine, which is centered on diagnosing and treating illness in individual patients, those in the field of public health focus on the prevention of disease in the general public and on educating them to improve wellness.

Those who enter this field must be able to think strategically about the many forces that impact public health — the environment, relationships, and education, to name just a few. They must also be prepared to lead, boldly rising to the challenges, rigors, and changes that define public health and health systems in the 21st century.

Our B.S. in Public Health program prepares students to enter this field by providing them with a foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, social and behavioral sciences, healthcare administration, and environmental health as well as the strategic thinking, administrative, planning, data collection and analysis, and communication skills that employers value highly and which lay the foundation for a lifetime of career success.
