Computer Engineering Program<br />

The Computer Engineering program is accredited by<br />

the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,<br />

111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD<br />

21202-4012; (410) 347-7700.<br />

The program in Computer Engineering provides the<br />

student with a broad and well-integrated background<br />

in the concepts and methodologies that are<br />

needed for the analysis, design, development, organization,<br />

theory, programming, and applications of<br />

information processing systems. Although such systems<br />

are popularly called “computers,” they involve<br />

a far wider range of disciplines than merely computation,<br />

and the Computer Engineering curriculum is<br />

correspondingly broad. The program presents the<br />

essential material in electronic circuits, digital logic,<br />

discrete mathematics, computer programming, data<br />

structures, and other topics. Students who complete<br />

the Computer Engineering curriculum receive a<br />

Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering.<br />

Objectives. The Computer Engineering program<br />

has adopted the following objectives to serve the<br />

long-term interests of our students and the industries<br />

of Northern California and the nation. Foundation—<br />

To provide our graduates with a solid foundation in<br />

engineering science, including mathematics, physical<br />

science, and the fundamentals of computer engineering.<br />

This foundation is necessary to succeed in<br />

more advanced engineering courses and to be able<br />

to continue learning throughout a career. Breadth—<br />

To provide our graduates with sufficient breadth in<br />

computer engineering. This breadth is required for<br />

students to understand engineering tradeoffs that<br />

cross disciplines, to contribute effectively to multi-disciplinary<br />

projects and to make an informed decision<br />

about their area of specialization. Depth—To provide<br />

our graduates with sufficient depth in a specific<br />

area of computer engineering necessary to solve<br />

complex real-world engineering problems and to<br />

prepare to contribute to a specific discipline within<br />

computer engineering. Ethics—To provide our graduates<br />

with a basic understanding of, and ability to<br />

handle correctly, ethical problems that may arise during<br />

their careers. To provide them with an understanding<br />

of their obligations to society at large.<br />

Upper Division Requirements:<br />

The Computer Engineering curriculum prepares students<br />

for careers in computer engineering or for<br />

graduate studies by providing a solid background in<br />

mathematics, physical sciences, and the traditional<br />

computer engineering subjects: electronics, computer<br />

hardware, and computer software. Here electronics<br />

refers to the five Electrical Engineering<br />

specialty areas: (1) physical electronics, (2) electromagnetics,<br />

(3) analog electronics, (4) digital electronics,<br />

and (5) communications, control, and signal<br />

processing. The 63 upper-division units in electronics,<br />

computer hardware and computer software consist<br />

of 13 units in electronics courses, 18 units in<br />

computer hardware courses, and 12 units in computer<br />

software courses. The remaining 20 units consist<br />

of 11 units of design electives and 9 units of<br />

technical electives. By carefully selecting these 20<br />

design and technical electives, students can focus on<br />

electronics, computer hardware, or computer software,<br />

or can distribute these units among the three<br />

areas.<br />

Areas of Specialization<br />

Computer Systems and Software: computer architecture,<br />

design, networking, and systems software.<br />
