The programs offered in computer engineering include the research-oriented Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, and the professional Master of Engineering degree. The MS and the PhD degrees include a research (thesis or dissertation) requirement.

Computer Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study involving both the Computer Science and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments. The Computer Engineering curriculum provides a balanced view of hardware, software, and hardware-software tradeoffs, analysis, design, and implementation techniques. Computer Engineering is a dynamic and broadly interdisciplinary field that impacts almost every area of human endeavor.

Well equipped laboratories are available for work in this program. Special laboratory facilities are available to graduate students in artificial intelligence, computer architecture, computer vision, distributed processing, graphics, integrated circuit design, parallel processing, real-time computing, robotics, software engineering, and testing and fault-tolerant computing.

There is no foreign language requirement for the PhD program in computer engineering.
