Majoring in Computer Engineering:

As a computer engineering student, you will be exposed to theoretical and practical issues of hardware and software in laboratories with state-of the-art equipment. The emphasis in the computer engineering program is on the design and implementation of hardware and software for engineering applications.

The bachelor of science in computer engineering is a new program designed to meet Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. criteria. Accreditation for this degree will be sought as soon as the program graduates students. Graduates will be eligible to seek the professional engineering license.

As a computer engineering major, you may receive research experience and academic credit by working in a UNT laboratory or research center.

You can join other computer engineering students in the UNT chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an organization for those involved in or interested in computer-related fields. ACM gives you the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas at club events such as meetings with guest speakers, field trips, study groups and socials.

Career Potential:

As a computer engineer, you will help develop practical and controlled uses of computing for real-world applications.

Traditionally, computer engineering as a discipline lies between computer science and electrical engineering. Computer engineers are concerned with designing and building computing devices that address society’s needs. Computers are becoming more essential to appliances, transportation systems, residences, ecological systems and to humans. These components must meet stringent power, performance, safety, security and reliability requirements. Computer engineering provides the education and training necessary to engineer such systems to meet the required specifications. Computer engineers have knowledge of hardware and software and how to apply them to the practical world.

Computer engineering careers include design and implementation of cell phones, personal digital assistants and other consumer electronic devices; design and implementation of embedded sensors for transportation vehicles; co-design of software and hardware for specific applications to meet required performance, reliability and cost specifications; design of computer-based controllers for autonomous vehicles; and design of devices for biomedical applications.

According to the projections by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor, some of fastest growing jobs through 2012 are computer-related.

UNT’s Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers. The staff can help you with resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation.
