Computer Engineering Degree Program

BS in Computer Engineering

The degree consists of 136 total credit hours, 52 hours of general education courses and 84 hours of computer engineering, computer science, math, and physics. See the Course Catalog for a detailed description of the courses.

There are two types of Computer Engineering degrees available:

  1. Standard CENG degree: courses covering 50% hardware and 50% software.

    Required:

    • 24 hours from CENG 220, 221, 320, 321, 420, 421
    • 23 hours from COMP 170 (or 150/151), 245, 268, 301, 310, 311, 345
    • 14 hours from MATH 251, 260, 301, 351
    • 8 hours from PHYS 211, 212

    Electives:

    • 3 hours from MATH 313, 318 or PHYS 312
    • 6 hours from CENG 340, 350, 401, 402 or PHYS 412
    • 6 hours from COMP 250, 328, 349, 425, 430, 431, 445, 446
  2. CENG degree with electrical engineering slant: courses covering 70% hardware and 30% software. This degree is intended to better prepare the student for graduate work in electrical engineering.

    Required:

    • 36 hours from CENG 220, 221, 320, 321, 340, 350, 401, 402, 420, 421
    • 14 hours from COMP 170, 245 and 2 courses selected from 310, 311, 345
    • 17 hours from MATH 251, 260, 301, 351 and 1 course selected from 313, 318
    • 17 hours from PHYS 211, 212, 312, 325, 412
Both degrees have the same number of total hours and the same liberal arts and Bible requirements. A minor is not required.
