Study programming techniques and learn how embedded microcomputer systems sense their environments to control the systems that contain them.
Computer Engineering Technology
The largest application of computers has nothing to do with the super computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, and smart devices we all think of when computers are mentioned. Most are never seen or recognized because they are embedded in the electronic systems you use every day. Your car contains many embedded computers: in the engine, in the braking system, in the radio, in the dash board. They are in many appliances throughout your home. They control robots and other automation equipment. They are at the core of most medical and healthcare equipment.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- Start your impact early by creating interesting electronic projects your first semester
