课程

Taught by our outstanding engineering faculty with expertise in the many fields that make up computer engineering, you will start your college career with general education courses in chemistry, 物理, 微积分, and an overall view of the engineering profession as well as analysis and design. 你在联合山的这些年里, you will engage in our dynamic curriculum that is strongly focused on real-world application. You will gain hands-on experience through a required international experience in the field as well as through the engineering capstone design course.

职业生涯

Computer engineering is a field with demand and has the potential to grow as more industries outside of computer and electronic product manufacturing begin to research and develop their own electronic devices. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is estimated to be 77,600 jobs by 2026. 2017年的平均工资中位数为115美元,120, 大约比工程师工资中位数高出25%.

从实践经验中学习

亲自动手的, experiential learning opportunities allow engineering students to apply engineering principles learned in the classroom. Students majoring in computer engineering at Mount Union will have ample opportunities to benefit from these real-world experiences outside the classroom, 并最终培养团队合作技能, 沟通技巧, 以及对事业成功至关重要的动手能力.

将课堂知识应用于工作的实践机会;

• 丰富的实验室经验
• 实习
• 学生比赛
• 服务学习的机会
• 学院领导的全球工程领域的经验
• 与教师一起进行本科研究
• 为期一年的毕业设计项目

Students will also have the opportunity to be involved in many different student organizations such as the Engineering club, 巴哈的团队, 以及IEEE的新学生分会. This will allow them to apply engineering principles in the design and development of engineering systems.
