Computer Engineering Major

Return to academic major description.

COMPUTER ENGINEERING (Comp Engr)
Offered jointly by the Departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

Comp Engr 373. Digital VLSI Circuits. A continuation of the study of electronics for Computer Engineering majors. Applies diode and field effect transistor concepts to the design and implementation of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. Applies VHDL descriptions in concert with logic synthesis tools to generate mask level implementations of physical VLSI circuit design.

Comp Engr 463. Capstone Design Project I. First course in the two-semester capstone design sequence for Computer Engineering majors. Presents contemporary methods essential to design, planning, and execution of complex electrical and computer engineering projects. Includes instruction in contemporary Air Force project management methods and tools, organization of requirements, software and hardware specification and design, hardware fabrication, quality assurance, and testing. Planning and prototyping the semester-long design project is completed in this course.

Comp Engr 464. Capstone Design Project II. Second course in the two-semester project design sequence for Electrical and Computer Engineering majors. Continues study of the system software and hardware lifecycle. Emphasis is placed on system design, appropriate implementation in hardware and software, analysis, testing and evaluation, quality assurance, and documentation. This course uses a design project to emphasize Air Force applications.
