Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Computer Engineering] From Western Michigan University

As a student in this program, you will study the architecture and physical construction, or hardware, of digital computers as well as important programming, or software, aspects of digital computers and systems.Because all engineers must consider non-technical as well as technical factors in the design process, you will also be required to take courses in the humanities, social sciences and communication. Design courses in your senior year cap off your studies and give you a practical, integrated experience in engineering design.

A cooperative education program is available if you wish to combine your education with industrial experience. After you complete your third semester of study, you can alternate between studying on campus and working in industry every other semester. Positions are available in a broad range of industries in manufacturing, product development and quality control.

You will also have the opportunity to qualify for our departmental scholarships and become a member of the Sunseeker solar racing team or one of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences' 25 other student organizations. WMU's student branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers also holds regular meetings featuring guest speakers, technical films, field trips and social gatherings.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering sponsors seminars so you can hear professionals speak on current topics in electrical and computer engineering.
