Computer Systems Engineering at The University of Georgia

More than a degree... building a lifetime of opportunity

An interdisciplinary Perspective

The Computer Systems Engineering undergraduate program of study covers the range from scientific principles and engineering concepts to the practical application of designing and implementing products and systems requiring hardware-software integration. Graduates from this program will have a critical understanding of computer hardware and software development issues and how to use computers to automate, monitor and control various systems, industrial as well as biological. The job market needs of a computer systems engineering graduate include telecommunications (wired and wireless networks), computer-human interactions (training or role-playing), decision-making (financial and health care industries), and embedded mechatronics (industrial or biomedical), where the engineer is needed to increase the efficiency and overall effectiveness of computing and sensing systems.

Computer Systems Engineering Curriculum:

The Computer Systems Engineering BS curriculum is a 4-year, 130 credit hour degree program. The degree program was designed to provide graduates with

A general education that develops the student’s knowledge of and skills in the basic sciences, social sciences, humanities and the arts and the student’s ability to apply this knowledge in order to understand the impact engineering has on society,
Quantitative skills needed to measure, estimate, model and simulate solutions to engineering problems,
Problem solving skills requiring a range of technical specialties that are consistent with the industrial needs of the State and Region (including telecommunications, software engineering, decision support systems, real time and networked systems),
Opportunities to successfully demonstrate higher order thinking skills including quantitative and qualitative analysis, evaluation and synthesis of information, problem solving and creativity, and
Faculty-student experiences that enable both to better serve society and to appreciate the need to participate in experiences that develop the students professionally.
