B.S. in Computer Engineering
Be a Computer Engineer
Housed within the College of Engineering

This field requires an innovative approach to problem-solving to make computing systems faster and better. You’ll find jobs in a wide variety of areas: networks, robotics, transportation, computer operating systems, technology manufacturers, etc.
At Nebraska, you’ll study side-by-side with engineering and computer science majors in one of the top programs in the nation. You’ll gain a wide knowledge base in integrated computer-based systems, along with a focus on the essential non-technical skills employers also want from new graduates, such as teamwork, communication and leadership abilities.
Degree Emphasis Areas
Computer Engineering majors have the option of declaring a focus in one of the following areas:
- EMBEDDED SYSTEMS & ROBOTICS: Embedded systems help tie the cyber world with our physical world through sensing, computation, communication, and control. Topics include embedded programming, wireless communication, embedded systems, sensor networks and robotics.
