Computer Engineering: Bachelor of Science
Program Description
LSSU’s Computer Engineering program has been designed to put you in the high-demand computer market with the potential for good career growth. This accredited* program blends practical computer science courses in computer organization, databases, operating systems, and networks with traditionally hands-on electrical engineering courses in digital circuits, digital system, microcontrollers, computer programming, and digital signal processing. This combination gives you a broad-based education that ties software to hardware and theory to application. Some of the program highlights are:
- The program provides an excellent mix of theory and practical laboratory experiences, preparing you to solve real-world problems.
- For your senior year experience, choose from opportunities in cooperative education, industry-based projects or research projects.
- Engineering courses begin in your freshman year.
- Opportunities exist for you to work with faculty on current undergraduate research projects.
- You will study assembly language programming, computer architecture, microcontroller hardware and software, databases, digital signals and systems, and networking.
- Concentrations available in robotics and automation and sustainable Energy.
Cooperative Education
Opportunities are available as part of this program for students who are academically qualified. A certificate that documents this practical training is available.
