    About Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering

    The Computer Science and Engineering degree prepares students to work in the full range of career options pursued by computer engineering and computer science graduates, and, with the appropriate choice of electives, software engineering. Graduates will be well prepared for careers in the rapidly growing area of smart technologies, which is projected to be the largest driver of technological and economic development over the next several decades. This ongoing technical revolution will require engineers who are competent in both computer software and hardware and who have the engineering skills to design and implement complex, intelligent systems. 

    Computer engineers make vital contributions to nearly all facets of modern society through their work in areas such as computer systems, software applications, medical imaging, robotics, wireless communications, and fiber optics. They also play crucial roles in major emerging technologies such as driverless vehicles, smart cities, and human genomics. 

    The College of Engineering offers a joint (fast-track) Bachelor of Science in Engineering/Master of Science for computer science and engineering undergraduate students who intend to earn an MS in electrical and computer engineering at Iowa. BSE/MS students may take up to 12 s.h. of graduate-level course work and do thesis-level research while they are still undergraduates, and they may count 9 s.h. of graduate course work toward both degrees. Once students complete requirements for the bachelor's degree, they are granted the BSE, and they normally complete the MS one year later.
