Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

Rochester Institute of Technology

In RIT’s BS in computer engineering you’ll design computer hardware, components, and software to develop next-gen products and appliances that contain embedded systems. In the computer industry, there is a great demand for computer engineers who can do it all-from designing high performance computer hardware components and software to developing next-generation intelligent, resilient, and sustainable products and appliances that contain embedded systems.RIT’s BS in computer engineering begins with the fundamental math, science, and technology courses that are essential to the curriculum. Emphasis is placed on selected areas of computer science, software engineering, and electrical engineering, including:Data structuresObject-oriented programming languagesCircuitsElectronicsPrinciples of software engineeringUpper-level computer engineering courses prepare you to integrate hardware and software by formulating complete system solutions. This is achieved through courses in:Computer architectureDigital systemsInterfacingComputer networksDigital signal processingConcentration areas provide you with an opportunity to gain additional in-depth knowledge in an area of particular interest within computer engineering. If you’re interested in conducting research, we highly encourage you to choose a concentration in an area of research that interests you and corresponds to the research initiatives of our engineering faculty. Concentrations are available in: SoftwareHigh-performance computingComputer architectureIntegrated circuits and systemsNetworks and securityComputer vision and machine intelligenceSignal processing, control, and embedded systems
