Minor in Computer Engineering

About the Minor

The Computer Engineering minor provides students from other majors with the foundation needed to understand both the hardware and software aspects of computers. Our engineers contribute to industry and research areas such as electronic circuits and systems, computer architecture, computer networking, embedded systems, high-performance computing, software engineering, robotics and machine intelligence, computer security, medical devices, and many more.

Prerequisites

The minor assumes that students will have a background in programming which would include ECE 105, ECE 203, or CS 171. Courses taken to meet these requirements will not count toward the minor.
