LSSU’s Computer Engineering program has been designed to put you in the high-demand computer market with the potential for good career growth. The program blends practical computer science courses in computer organization, algorithms, and operating systems with traditionally hands on electrical engineering courses in digital circuits, digital system, embedded microprocessor systems, computer programming, and signal processing. This combination gives you a broad-based education that ties software to hardware and theory to application.

Some of the program highlights are:

• The program provides an excellent mix of theory and practical laboratory experiences, preparing you to solve real-world problems.
• For your senior year experience, choose from opportunities in cooperative education, industry-based projects or research projects.
• Engineering courses begin in your freshman year.
• Opportunities exist for you to work with faculty on current undergraduate research projects.
• You will study assembly language programming, computer architecture, embedded microprocessor systems hardware and software, databases, Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools,
  digital signals and systems, and networking.
• Elective programming courses in robotics, mobile app development, and industrial systems are available.

Concentrations:

• Robotics & Automation

The electrical engineering program, which is accredited by EAC of ABET, combines topics from science, math and engineering in order to study and develop solutions to electrical and computer problems.
