Computer Engineering (BSCP)
The Program in Computer Engineering is jointly administered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering. The joint directors of the Computer Engineering program are Michael Niemier and Robert Stevenson. The program focuses on the intersection of hardware (digital logic devices, circuits, computer architectures, and embedded systems) and software (programming languages, operating systems, and algorithms). Modern design tools, techniques, and platforms are introduced early in the program, and continually used throughput to design, prototype, and analyze real digital computing systems to solve a given problem. All computer engineers participate in year-long, capstone design experience prior to graduation.
To earn the BS CPEG, students must complete the following requirements. The following course schedule is applicable to the students entering the College in Fall 2025.
Details about the specific courses and course options can be found in the Computer Science Engineering Undergraduate Handbook which can be found on the Computer Science Engineering website at cse.nd.edu/undergraduate.
