Bachelor of Science - Computer Engineering

Computer engineers develop computer hardware and software, digital systems of all descriptions, microprocessor systems, and integrated circuits. They also design components and controls for embedded systems such as those found in modern aircraft, security systems, vending machines, cars, appliances, and a growing number of devices common in contemporary living.

The major in computer engineering includes three areas of special emphasis: • Embedded systems • Operating systems and firmware • Hardware design

Strengths of the program : • Participate in research programs on integrated circuit design, digital systems design (including signal processing and communications), networking, and medical computer imaging. • Enjoy vast resources in lab facilities, computers, and personnel. • Tackle intricate design problems using well-equipped laboratories with the most modern digital design software available. • Students can join a math, science, and engineering community residence hall at Washington State University Pullman—share classes with their neighbors, study together, get free tutoring, and use the hall’s computer lab. • Students will gain skills through a program that combines computer science, software engineering, and electrical engineering.
