BS Computer Engineering Technology

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Technology at Purdue University, offered at both the West Lafayette and Indianapolis campuses, focuses on the design, building, and troubleshooting of embedded computer systems that control real-world devices such as medical equipment, automobiles, consumer electronics, and industrial automation systems.

The program is part of the ABET-accredited Electrical Engineering Technology program and is housed within the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, which emphasizes a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach.

Distinct from traditional computer engineering, this program is application-driven, prioritizing practical skills, teamwork, and early industry exposure. Students work on team-based projects from their first semester, gaining extensive experience in interfacing computers with hardware systems.
