Computer Engineering
The School of Engineering and Computer Science offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BSCE). Computer engineering fills the gap between electrical engineering and computer science, blending aspects of both to design computing solutions for today’s challenges. Computer Engineering students will study both hardware and software design. Available courses include:
- Data Structures
- Engineering Economics
- Microprocessor Systems
- Introduction to Robotics
Students interested in computer engineering will not have to take the courses needed for the more general electrical and computer engineering degree. Instead, they’ll be able to concentrate on courses in their area of interest. The degree allows emphasis in several leading technologies, including embedded systems, integrated circuit design, quantum computation, networking and high-performance computing. In the integration of both hardware and software design, students gain a foundation in the key areas of computer engineering and are prepared for careers in a broad spectrum of industries.
Computer engineering is in very high demand in Texas, the United States and the world. Austin is becoming the city of choice for Silicon Valley companies who seek to avoid the heavy taxes in California, and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the fifth-largest computer engineering market in the country. Between these two hot spots is Baylor, placing our graduates in a uniquely advantageous area.
