Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering

California State University - Fullerton

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering provides students with a strong theoretical and practical background in both the hardware and the software aspects of computer-based systems, along with the engineering analysis, design and implementation skills necessary to work between the two. The curriculum is based on an engineering philosophy, emphasizing hardware more than software. Topics integrated into the curriculum include digital systems, computer organization and architecture, processor interfacing techniques, HDL design using VHDL and Verilog, advanced electronics and embedded system design. The program develops an ability to apply design and analysis knowledge to the practice of computer engineering in an effective and professional manner. The Bachelor of Science program in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Engineering Programs All mathematics and physical science courses required for the degree must be completed with at least a ''C-'' (1.7) to count as prerequisite courses to engineering courses or as credit towards the degree. All core courses in the major must be passed with a ''C-'' (1.7) or better. Placement Examination: Students with a working knowledge of a high-level programming language such as C++ are encouraged to take the Computer Science placement examination to qualify for a CPSC-120A/L waiver. General Education: All students at Cal State Fullerton are expected to complete prescribed units of General Education that are made up of courses outside of their chosen disciplines. Students seeking a degree in Engineering have been provided exceptions from some of the General Education requirements. For this reason, it is important that students take the approved G.E. courses for Engineering majors that are found in their Titan Degree Audit (TDA). Additionally, they should confirm the G.E. courses that are required within their specific programs with their respective advisers.
