Bachelor of Sciences in Engineering - Computer Engineering Program (BS CpE)
Computer engineering is the most rapidly growing curricula in engineering. Computer Engineering combines the study of electrical engineering with computer architecture, programming, algorithms, system organization, data structures, operating systems, hardware, software, firmware, design and general applications.
In response to the ever-increasing demand for computer engineering professionals in the area of information processing, many universities have adopted this program. UNLV has had a form of this program in place as early as 1980.
The degree requires 128 or 129 credit hours, including 30 or 31 credits associated with the university's general education core.
The full name of the degree is Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a Major in Computer Engineering.
Program Objectives
The objectives of the Bachelor of Sciences in Engineering - Computer Engineering Program are:
