The University of Michigan’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in Computer Engineering, available at both the Ann Arbor and Dearborn campuses, is an ABET-accredited program that integrates electrical engineering and computer science to prepare students for the design, development, and implementation of computer systems, including both hardware and software components. Students build a solid foundation through courses in digital logic, computer architecture, embedded systems, algorithms, and operating systems, while advanced electives allow exploration of areas such as machine learning, robotics, cybersecurity, VLSI design, and networking.
Course Overview:
Year 1: Calculus, foundational engineering courses, physics, elective (intellectual breadth), chemistry
Year 2: Logic Design, discrete mathematics, calculus, general elective, circuits, programming and elementary data science, elective (intellectual breadth)
Year 3: Differential equations, signal and systems, computer organization, technical communication, elective (intellectual breadth), core electives
Year 4: Capstone design project, EECS elective, Upper level CE elective, Technical elective, General elective, Technical Communication and EECS
Laboratory Courses: Extensive hands-on labs using microprocessor boards, DSP boards, system-on-a-chip, and reconfigurable computing.
Capstone Design Project: Senior team-based design and implementation projects that mirror industry practice.
Undergraduate Research: Opportunities in cutting-edge areas such as robotics, embedded systems, AI, wireless communications, and biomedical devices.
Internships & Co-ops: Strong university support for securing internships and cooperative education with leading companies in the tech, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, and finance sectors.
Sequential Undergraduate/Graduate Study (SUGS): Allows students to complete both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in about five years.
Graduate Careers: Embedded Systems Engineer, Hardware/Software Developer, Systems Architect, Robotics Engineer, Network/Security Engineer, Automotive/IoT Engineer, Research Scientist.
Industry Sectors: Technology, automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, government, startups.
Job Outlook: Projected job growth for computer engineering roles ranges from 10% to 30% over the next decade, indicating robust demand.
Further Study: Well-prepared for MS or PhD programs in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or related fields. Many students pursue graduate study through Michigan’s SUGS pathway.
Professional Growth: Strong emphasis on leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and communication skills to support advancement into management, consulting, and entrepreneurship.
