Why Study CSE? Some of the Highest Paid Degrees #1 Major for Average Starting Salary

Over 30 Years of History Then… –Founded with 2 Faculty –Fall of 1971 Now… –Accredited program since 1986 –19 full time faculty –1162 Total Students

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Computer Engineering degree offered beginning in Fall of 2003 Computer Engineering Tracks –Architecture –Networking –VLSI –Real-Time and Embedded Systems

Computer Science or Computer Engineering More hardware oriented More physics and math courses –Cell phones and PDAs –Embedded Systems –Robotics –Biomedical Devices Not sure? Coursework in both degrees is very similar the first year, so take some time to explore and decide. More software oriented More programming courses –Game Programming –Information Security –Database Design –Artificial Intelligence
