Bachelor of Science - Computer Engineering

Computer engineers are at the cutting edge of modern technology. Join University of West Florida's computer engineering program, and change the world.

The program prepares students to develop computer hardware and software solutions for today's technologies. University of West Florida will provide students with a strong background in engineering analysis and design and give students the implementation skills they need to succeed.

Graduates pass Professional Engineer tests at rates higher than the national average. Alumni attend top graduate schools, including Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon and Georgia Tech.

The computer engineering program at University of West Florida is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. ABET accreditation is assurance that a program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students.

University of West Florida offers numerous scholarships, a range of internship and co-op experiences with local companies and plenty of undergraduate research opportunities.

The student teams compete in regional and national student robotics competitions and regularly beat teams from much larger and better known engineering programs.

The computer engineering curriculum provides a balance of hardware, software and computer theory and applications with a basic background in electrical engineering. Nine credits of electives allow students to delve deeply into selected subject matter.

In the last two semesters, students will work on a senior design project (capstone) as the culmination of their engineering education. After developing objectives and analysis, students create design concepts, researching implementation methods and performing a feasibility study. At the end of the final semester, students present their projects.
