About the Program
 Computer engineering is re-shaping our world. Advances in hardware, coupled with powerful software, a new generation of algorithms, and an ever-expanding list of applications, are changing how we live, work, and have fun. Computer engineering is the reason why our smart phones are getting smarter, manufacturing is becoming more efficient, and virtual reality, robotics, and artificial intelligence are gaining momentum. As a computer engineer, you can specialize in computer architecture, embedded systems, computer networking, software engineering, virtual reality, or intelligent systems. So if you want to be part of something big, think about studying computer engineering.
