The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering administers the degree in computer engineering (CPE). CPE provides the critical technology base for a broad range of industries, including bioinformatics, computing hardware, computer networking and security, embedded computing, telecommunications, and video/image processing. The program builds on a strong foundation in mathematics, physical science, and computer programming. Computer engineers use many of the principles and techniques of electrical engineering and many of computer science. Computer engineering, however, is more than a blend of two other fields. The major technical areas of CPE: Cybersecurity Networking Design automation Machine intelligence Computer software Biomedical Embedded Systems

Careers Computer engineering graduates typically have some of the highest starting salaries in engineering. Computer engineers have the option of moving into hardware or software positions, or blending the two. Typical industries hiring computer engineers, include financial services, computer manufacturers, chemical companies, defense contractors, consulting, transportation, manufacturing, and consumer goods. Computer engineers are equally successful in large multinational firms and small startups.
