The Computer Science and Engineering degree prepares students to work in the full range of career options pursued by computer engineering and computer science graduates, and, with the appropriate choice of electives, software engineering. Graduates will be well prepared for careers in the rapidly growing area of smart technologies, which is projected to be the largest driver of technological and economic development over the next several decades. This ongoing technical revolution will require engineers who are competent in both computer software and hardware and who have the engineering skills to design and implement complex, intelligent systems.
Computer engineers make vital contributions to nearly all facets of modern society through their work in areas such as computer systems, software applications, medical imaging, robotics, wireless communications, and fiber optics. They also play crucial roles in major emerging technologies such as driverless vehicles, smart cities, and human genomics.
Iowa's computer science and engineering program is the first in the state and one of only 12 programs nationwide that offer accredited degrees in this major. The curriculum has been developed in close consultation with industrial advisory boards to produce graduates best suited to meet the current and future needs of business and industry. This program is the only one in Iowa that seeks accreditation by both the Engineering Accreditation Council and the Computing Accreditation Council.
