About Computer Engineering at Cal Poly

The Computer Engineering Program was established in 1988 and serves as an interdisciplinary program drawing from the curriculums of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Departments as well as specialized computer engineering courses. CPE offers a B.S. program in computer engineering, which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Telephone: (410) 347-7700.

Overview

The curriculum provides a sound theoretical background along with current, practical engineering knowledge. Our aim is to produce highly skilled practitioners of Computer Engineering. Students must take a broad range of liberal arts, science, and mathematics courses. Almost every major class requires assignments and projects to be run on computers. All Computer Engineering courses include a thorough coverage of concept and theory, and 21 of the major courses have lab work requirements. Students build upon a core curriculum and choose technical electives in specializations including:

  • Computer Architecture
  • Computer Networks
  • Electronics Implementation and VLSI
  • Graphics and Multimedia
  • Robotics and Computer Based Control
  • Software Systems
