Course Accredited By
THLC
From CPU to code, learn to engineer every part of a computer.
The Bachelor of Science in computer engineering program at Trine University emphasizes computer hardware - from the scale of individual transistors - up through embedded computers, networks, high-level languages and software engineering.
We love the inside, and outside, of computer systems.
We design and implement digital logic and computer systems that integrate hardware and software components into functioning systems that meet a user-defined set of specifications.
The degree: Get interactive with computer systems and theory
You can expect discussion and hands-on learning experiences in hardware, software and everything in between, such as:
- Algorithms and data structures
- Programming methodology and languages
- Computer elements and architecture
- Real-time embedded systems
Trine University's computer engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The experience: Try your own ideas in the lab
To enhance your in-depth theoretical explorations, you will spend a significant amount of time in our laboratories, which emphasize experimentation as well as design, and are developed around industry practices and demands. This provides you the most immersive, relevant engineering curriculum, giving you the technical knowledge and practical problem-solving skills employers desire.
The result: Successful careers in industry, development and consumer electronics
Over the past 10 years more than 90 percent of our graduates have started their first professional career position within six months of graduation. Many have their first job arranged before they graduate. Most of our graduates go into the commercial world in industries such as aerospace, telecommunications, software development and consumer electronics. Some of our graduates (about 10 percent) decide to go on to graduate school, and some work for federal government agencies.
