Computer
engineering is a discipline that combines elements of both hardware and
software. Computer engineers have additional training in the areas of
software design and hardware/software integration. Computer engineers are
involved on all aspects of computing, from the design of individual personal
computers and supercomputers, to the integration of computer systems into
other kinds of systems (i.e., a motor vehicle has many subsystems that are
computer- and digitally-oriented). Common computer engineering tasks include
writing embedded software for real-time microcontrollers, designing chips,
working with analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and
designing operating systems. Computer engineers are also well-suited for
research in the field of robotics, which relies on using computers together
with other electrical systems.
This program is
accepted by the University of Toledo for the first portion of a bachelor of
science degree. Students interested in pursuing a 2+2 or 2+3 bachelor of
science degree should consult their academic advisor prior to initial
enrollment in the courses.
