BS Engineering/Computer Engineering

From self-driving cars to smart cities, we live in a hyper-connected world. As the smart thinkers behind today’s smart devices and systems, computer engineers hold the key to understanding, advancing, and protecting the security of next generation technologies. 

A degree in computer engineering from CSU will help you make an impact beyond their computer screen. Affording a big picture view of how technology works, computer engineers look at the interplay between hardware and software to create solutions that benefit society. Have an interest in robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, or data science? With coursework designed to help you understand, advance, and protect the security of next generation technologies, our professors will arm you with knowledge to drive innovation, whether creating an elegant device that fits in the palm of your hand or optimizing a colossal system to manage and move data.

While our undergraduate program gives you the option to keep your studies broad, you may also specialize in one of the following concentrations:

• Aerospace Systems
• Embedded and IoT Systems
• Networks and Data
• VLSI and Integrated Circuits
 

Career Opportunities
A field of endless possibilities, career paths for computer engineers are largely dependent on personal interests. Computer Engineering alumni hold positions such as software engineer for a tech giant, designer for a start-up company, and program manager for NASA. In addition to being one of the most lucrative college majors, Computer Engineering currently ranks among the top 10 majors in demand for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Almost every industry recruits computer engineering graduates, including aerospace, biomedical and healthcare, clean energy, robotics, climate science, manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation.
