Computer Engineering Minor

Program Director: Donald Yeung, Ph.D.

The minor in Computer Engineering is a program offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The minor will introduce students to core hardware concepts, such as computer architecture, digital logic design, and digital circuit design, as well as core software concepts, such as algorithms, discrete mathematics, and programming. Students will also learn how hardware and software interact at the interface, for example in embedded systems. With a minor in computer engineering, students will not only receive preparation for entry into the computer industry, but they will also become more effective at applying computing in their primary field of study. 

The Computer Engineering minor has 18 required credits of coursework. All students in the minor will be required to satisfy the two prerequisites, ENEE150 and MATH141, with grades of "B-" or higher. Students in the Electrical Engineering major will have satisfied these prerequisites as part of their program.

In order to complete the minor, students must complete all 18 required credits of the minor with a minimum grade of "C-" in each minor course
