Engineering AS, Computer Engineering Option

Program Description

This program comprises the first two years of coursework for a professional program in Computer Engineering (CE) at a four-year institution and lays the foundation for being a successful engineer. Computer engineering is closely tied to electrical engineering although more emphasis is placed on computer hardware and software including microcontrollers which are used to support robotics and embedded designs. Along with introductory courses, you will take courses in the basic engineering sciences, physics, math and chemistry.
