Program Overview
The Computer Engineering program at Anderson University combines elements of computer science and electrical engineering to teach you how to create and test hardware, develop software, and enhance network and system integration. You’ll apply mathematics, science, and critical thinking to research, design, develop, implement, and maintain computing systems and components. This program will challenge you to think critically, break down complex issues into manageable components, and develop effective solutions. Some applications of computer engineering include: hardware and software systems, robotics and cybernetics, computer graphics and visualization, medical image computing, computer and network security, and artificial intelligence. Program Education Outcomes. Student Outcomes.
Before you graduate you will be exposed to four different programming/CAD languages (Python, C++, MATLBAB, and SolidWorks). You’ll engage in problems and challenges that integrate computer capability and software to create new, state-of-the art products. We place a great emphasis on “cyber-hardening” at Anderson University so your education will be built upon a strong foundation in math, computer science, and the physical sciences. As you progress through the program you will become proficient in understanding both computer hardware and computer software.
As a Computer Engineering student you will be prepared for a wide range of careers in both the hardware and software aspects of computing. Possible careers include hardware engineer, embedded systems engineer, network engineer, or systems architect. Starting salaries for candidates with a Bachelor of Science in degree range from $60,000 to $90,000. If you choose to attend graduate school instead of going directly into the workforce, possible graduate programs include degrees in Computer Engineering, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence.

Why AU?
The core concepts of Anderson University’s engineering curriculum are entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability. Our liberal arts foundation allows for scientific technology, engineering, math, and public policy courses to enhance that curriculum. These concepts and academic subjects will be taught through classroom and one-on-one mentorship experiences with faculty members who are experienced and active in the engineering field. The unique structure of our curriculum provides you with exposure to hands-on engineering design classes starting your first year of the program. During the course of your studies you’ll learn quality design and the comprehension of circuiting, hardware, and software components in coherence with coding capabilities. As you develop and work on projects throughout your four years you will be encouraged and supported with grant opportunities.
