The goal of the Computer Engineering Technology program is to provide students with a high quality applications-oriented undergraduate education based on state-of-the-art technology as a preparation for productive employment in the broad field of microcomputer applications.
The goal of the Computer Engineering Technology program is to provide students with a high quality applications-oriented undergraduate education based on state-of-the-art technology as a preparation for productive employment in the broad field of microcomputer applications.
This goal is achieved through continual updating of course content to ensure relevance to the latest industrial changes, supporting the development of appropriate computer facilities, promoting the integration of advanced computer technology in all courses, and encouraging professional growth and development of the faculty. The program is designed to satisfy the educational needs of the urban Houston community by providing a climate that fosters self-awareness, personal growth, and a desire for life-long learning.
Microcomputers, frequently linked in networks, are used in a wide variety of fields. Microcomputers are used to produce documents, perform accounting tasks, and organize information and inventories for business and industry.
They are also used to control processes in manufacturing, chemical production and oil refining. Microcomputers are often key components for routing data and conversations in telephone communication, or in providing the best shipping, billing, routing, and inventory information for shipping and trucking, or for passenger ticketing and routing information for airlines. Computers and appropriate software packages are often used to solve scientific and engineering problems, to aid in medical tests and diagnoses, and to help design structures and buildings.
With computers assisting nearly every professional and leisure activity of modern life, people who can design, install, configure, network, and repair microcomputer systems can make a valuable contribution to business and industry. People familiar with both the hardware and software requirements of computers are especially valuable. Computer Engineering Technology majors study the application of state-of-the-art components and software in contemporary computer systems.
Students are given a solid foundation in mathematics, basic sciences, and electronics. A thorough study is made of digital circuits, microcomputer architecture and systems. Hardware, software, and firmware aspects of microcomputers are covered in detail. Graduates of Computer Engineering Technology are qualified for immediate employment in a variety of industries as sales representatives, field specialists, interface designers, software specialists, and digital applications specialists.
The University of Houston's proud heritage of academic excellence dates back to its founding in 1927, when its primary focus was training future teachers. At that time, it was called Houston Junior College and classes were held on the San Jacinto High School campus.
Over the years, we grew and prospered, becoming the University of Houston in 1934. Two years later, the institution acquired land for a permanent campus, and its first building opened in 1939. In 1947, the institution launched one of its many rich traditions by adopting the cougar, later named Shasta, as its official mascot. The university became a state institution in 1963 and joined the newly created University of Houston System in 1977.
From a lovable feline to an all-campus fiesta, the University of Houston builds community and generates fun with a variety of time-honored traditions. Most individual colleges have their own traditions, too, ranging from Wolffest, a college of business tradition where students run pop-up food stands in a three-day competition, to the Hobby School of Public Affairs’ annual Elizabeth D. Rockwell Lecture on Ethics and Leadership .
The University of Houston draws strength from its diversity to transform lives and communities through education, research, service and innovation in a real world setting. UH is an engine for discovery, conversation and change that informs and leads local, state, national and global partnerships.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (CMPE), offered by the Department of Computer Engineering, goes beyond programming to include engineering methodologies and hands-on project experience.Â
Computer Engineering is concerned with the application of electrical engineering and computer science principles to the design of computer systems and digital networks.
Computer engineers specialize in the design of computers, computer systems, and other digitally based hardware devices. Computer engineers must also be proficient in software design.
Engineering analysis and design concepts are integrated throughout both programs, culminating in a common major design experience involving a broad range of issues including economic and societal considerations.
This certificate program prepares students as entry-level computer specialists. Students will be able to configure and repair personal computers and peripherals as well as gain a basic understanding of networking concepts.
