Computer Engineering
Program Description
This program produces graduates with skills in designing computer hardware and peripherals, and emphasizes the electrical characteristics of the computer itself. It is focused primarily on designing the computer hardware, associated core software structures and their interfaces.·Focus areas include real-time computing systems, communication and computing networks, and VLSI design/fabrication. Students in the program get a strong grounding in both computer science and electrical engineering.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE), and requires a minimum of 126 credits. See information about program accreditation here.
The program is jointly administered by the Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments. Further information is here.
Additional Information and Previous Program Requirements
Students must follow the rules of the catalog year under which they joined UConn. The full list of requirements for each catalog year can be found in the Academic Catalog Archive. Students can elect to adopt and switch to a later year if they choose to. Once a student adopts a more recent catalog year, they cannot roll back to an earlier year.
For detailed program requirements, see the official UConn Academic Catalog.

Plan of Study Requirement
All Engineering students in the first semester of their Junior year, or for transfer students in their second semester at UConn, whichever is later, must prepare a written preliminary Plan of Study form. The preliminary Plan of Study form documents the coursework he/she intends to take in order to satisfy the degree requirements. A final Plan of Study must also be submitted as soon as possible after registering for the final semester of coursework. Instructions on how to submit both the preliminary and final Plan of Study forms are available here.
