BS in Computer Engineering
The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (CMPE), offered by the Department of Computer Engineering, goes beyond programming to include engineering methodologies and hands-on project experience. The program prepares students to become engineers, leaders and entrepreneurs. Course topics range from computer hardware design and embedded systems to software design and construction of real-time systems, virtual systems, and enterprise software.
The curriculum integrates concepts and hands-on practice using the latest developments in emerging technologies, design, verification, implementation, and computer systems applications to provide students with advanced hardware and software skills. High-tech companies seek out our graduates. Our alumni work in hardware/software analysis, design and verification, hardware/software co-design, systems software, domain applications and product testing at many Silicon Valley firms from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies.
The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Program Educational Objectives, Outcomes and Goals 繚 Enrollment and Graduation Data [pdf]

Department uses change of major policy for reinstatement
Both requirements stated in the policy should be met and students will be ranked based on the provided formula (using mainly STEM GPA).
Enrolling in a major class as an Open University (OU) student without a study plan does not mean that student has been reinstated in the major and the department is under no obligation to reinstate that student even if a significant progress has being made toward a degree.
