Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering curriculum at The University of Scranton is
broad-based with continually updated content in computers, engineering
science, and engineering design. Combining features of computer
science and electrical engineering, the Computer Engineering program is
focused on the design, construction and integration of software and
hardware systems.
The mission of the computer engineering
program is to develop knowledgeable and competent engineering
professionals who exemplify the humanistic, Catholic and Jesuit
traditions of commitment to social justice, service to others,
life-long learning, ethical and moral responsibility, and concern for
the environment. The integration of The University of Scranton core
curriculum is an essential part of the CE curriculum. The University
core curriculum includes a structured program in theology, philosophy,
ethics, and written and oral communication. Roughly half of the credits
in the CE program is devoted to engineering and computer science
topics, with emphasis on hardware and software skills, simulation and
design. The computer engineering program culminates in a two-term
capstone senior project where each student must design, construct,
program, and debug a self-guided, artificially intelligent robot.
Graduates
of our CE program are well prepared to embark on careers in computer
engineering or to further their education at graduate school. Our
engineering graduates have challenging and rewarding careers in such
diverse fields as biomedical instrumentation, semiconductor
fabrication, pharmaceutical manufacturing, secondary
education-mathematics/physics, patent law, national defense systems,
and national space programs.
