BS Computer Engineering - Gaming and Graphics

Students desiring intensive study at the undergraduate level to develop proficiency in the fields of computer engineering, such as hardware, software, and embedded systems, will find this program to be a challenging and rewarding experience. The curriculum provides a broad foundation in the science and engineering of computer systems software and hardware, and the design of digital and embedded systems. The broad range of Hofstra University resources in the humanities and social sciences make the liberal arts component especially enlightening.

Students will develop analytical and applied skills which will enable them to analyze, design, and test digital and embedded systems, architectures, networks, and processes. Graduates will also acquire a good understanding of hardware, software, signal processing, secure communication and the interactions between them, as well as related applications. This thorough preparation in theory and laboratory experimentation will give graduates the skill and flexibility required to meet the ever-changing demands on the computer engineer. The program is responsive to suggestions posed by industry leaders from the Long Island community. 

Students will develop design skills progressively, beginning with courses in discrete mathematics, programming, digital circuits, computer architectures, embedded systems, circuit analysis, and networks, and they will apply their accumulating knowledge to practical problems throughout the curriculum. This process culminates in the capstone design course, which complements the analytical part of the curriculum.

The thorough preparation afforded by the computer engineering curriculum includes the broad education necessary to understand the impact of multi-disciplinary engineering solutions in a global and societal context. Hence, graduates will be well prepared for professional employment or advanced studies.
