Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Engineering

Accreditation Introductory Statement

The Computer Engineering (B.S.) program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s), and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

CoE Program Educational Objectives

The undergraduate program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (CoE), producing graduates who will, within 3-5 years:

• Technical Expertise & Problem-Solving – Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in computer engineering fundamentals and apply them to solve complex challenges across diverse domains.
• Professional Growth & Leadership – Graduates will advance in their careers by assuming leadership roles, managing projects, and driving technological innovation.
• Lifelong Learning & Adaptability – Graduates will engage in continuous professional development to stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends.
• Ethical and Societal Responsibility – Graduates will practice ethical decision-making and consider societal, legal, and global impacts when designing and implementing electrical and computing engineering solutions.
• Effective Communication & Collaboration – Graduates will work effectively in teams, communicate technical concepts to various audiences, and collaborate across disciplines

CoE Student Outcomes

Students from the CoE program will attain (by the time of graduation):

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

The detailed curriculum and degree requirements for the B.S. in Computer Engineering are available in the BS in Computer Engineering Catalog.
