Few events have affected our lives more in the past several decades than the development of the microprocessor and the computer. From supercomputers to personal computers, we have become more and more dependent on digital systems. These systems have brought us to the Information Age, to the operation of machinery, automobiles, and even kitchen appliances through digital control. The field of Computer Science, which is concerned with the design, development and utilization of computing devices, encompasses both hardware aspects of their design and implementation and the preparation of software to run them.

Computer Engineering in the Curriculum in Applied Sciences emphasizes hardware and systems. Students learn the analysis, design, and implementation of digital systems, microprocessors and computers. Information transmission, interfacing, and system software requirements are also studied. Interdisciplinary course work in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and engineering is combined to meet the challenge of a continuously changing digital technology. The program prepares students for positions in system hardware and design engineering or graduate study in such areas as Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
