PSU's Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science
The computer engineering degree in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science will provide you with a background in computer hardware and devices. You will gain skills in all branches of the digital electronics and computer industry. This includes embedded systems, computer architecture, robotics, and machine learning among other areas. Students interested in focusing on software development should explore computer science.
We Offer:
- Hands-on experience early in the program. You will learn hardware interfacing and project management. You will get to interact with the technology in our teaching labs. We also have a one-of-a-kind Electronics Prototyping Lab, where you can walk in with an idea and walk out with a working prototype.
- Valuable work experience through internships. We help our students take part in Engineering Work Experience (EWX) and Multiple Engineering Co-Op Program (MECOP). These competitive programs offer paid internships at Intel, Mentor Graphics, Daimler Trucks, and other local tech companies.
- Research as an undergraduate. In the Undergraduate Research and Mentoring Program, our students pair with a faculty mentor to do research for one year. At the end of the year, students present their research to peers, faculty, and industry professionals.
- Expert faculty who bring the best research and real-life perspectives into the classroom. Our faculty tackle some of the world's most pressing issues. They design applications and develop systems for ensuring security, privacy, utility, ease-of-use. They build embedded systems for the Internet of Things (connecting everything to the internet: toasters, refrigerators, chairs, automobiles, doorbells, and more). They also ensure that technology actually provides value to customers. You will learn to develop technologies to make your own unique impact on society.
We offer a fast path to a graduate degree with our 4 + 1 and bridge programs. Full-time students can earn bachelor's and master's degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) in 5 years. Postbaccalaureate students have the option of skipping the bachelor's degree and going right into our bridge program to a master's degree, which prepares them for graduate school admission with a specialized ECE undergraduate curriculum.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission / ABET (EAC/ABET).
