For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

The program in computer engineering is administered by and is part of the offerings of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The following suggested curriculum indicates one way in which the student may satisfy the requirements for the degree of bachelor of science in computer engineering in eight semesters.

When registering in or graduating from this curriculum, a student must have a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in all electrical and computer engineering courses taken before such registration or graduation. To qualify for registration in the electrical and computer engineering courses specified in the first semester of the junior year of the curriculum in computer engineering, a student must have a combined grade-point average of 3.25 (A = 5.0) in the mathematics, physics, computer science, and electrical and computer engineering courses that are required in the freshman and sophomore years of the curriculum.

The curriculum requires 128 hours for graduation. A curriculum revision was pending at the time of publication. See a departmental adviser for more information.
