• More Info

To graduate with this major, students must complete all university, college, and major requirements.

Topical concentration in Computer Engineering (cpe.eng.ufl.edu) is provided via technical electives from the Departments of Computer and Information Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Via elected coursework, students specialize in knowledge areas such as computer architecture, computer system engineering, digital signal processing, embedded systems, intelligent systems, networking and communication, and security. Additionally, cooperative education opportunities help students develop a broader understanding of the industrial applications of computer engineering technologies. Graduates will be prepared to engage in graduate studies in computer engineering or to pursue career paths in many different areas of computing and its applications in high technology environments.

Program Education Objectives

Graduates from the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering will:

1. Advance in careers utilizing their education in computer engineering
2. Continuously improve via graduate, professional, self-driven, and on-the-job learning
3. Become leaders in multidisciplinary and diverse professional environments

Mission

• To educate majors and the community in computing and engineering fundamentals
• To create and disseminate computing and engineering knowledge and technology
• To use our expertise in computing and engineering to help society solve problems.

Transfer Admission Requirements

Successful transfer applicants must have earned a 2.5 grade point average, based on the first two attempts, in the six preprofessional courses and have earned a minimum grade of C in each course of Calculus 1, Calculus 2, Calculus 3, Physics with Calculus 1, Physics with Calculus 2, and Differential Equations. Only the first two attempts (including withdrawals) in each course will be considered for admission to or retention in the department.

Transfer students must attend Transfer Preview as part of admissions. Course equivalency appeals must be submitted to earn credit for coursework completed outside of Common Course Numbering for Core CpE coursework and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Computer Engineering Requirements

A minimum grade of C is required for each critical-tracking course and the critical-tracking GPA must be a minimum of 2.5.

A minimum grade of C is required in any computer engineering course that is a prerequisite for another computer engineering course and CpE Design 2 CEN 4908C. The prerequisite course and its subsequent course cannot be taken the same term, even if the prerequisite course is being repeated.

Minimum grades of C are required in:

Students may opt to take COP 3504C in lieu of COP 3502C and COP 3503C. If elected, students will need to complete an additional 4 credits to complete the degree program.

A CpE major grade point average (GPA) is calculated as the average of the grades of all CpE program courses and the CISE and ECE department courses taken by the student. CpE students must maintain a cumulative, college, upper-division and CpE major GPA minimum of 2.0.

All graduating seniors must complete an exit survey with their advisor before graduating.
