Computer Engineering 2004 : Curriculum Guidelines Undergraduate Degree Program in Computer Engineering

This report provides some background on the computer engineering field an explains how the filed evolved. It descries the expectations of graduates of the discipline and shows how those graduates differ from other computing disciplines. It describes the expected background, knowledge, and skills employers expect to see graduates of computer engineering programs. These include the ability to design computer systems, the realization of the importance of practicing as professionals, and having the breadth and depth of knowledge expected of a practicing engineer. The report includes four sample curricula that illustrates a methodology an institution might use to develop a curriculum in computer engineering based on its locale, mission, and particular goals for its students. The sample curricula are grounded on a fundamental body of knowledge from which an institution may develop a curriculum to fit its needs. These recommendations support the design of computer engineering curricula that will prepare graduate students to function at entry-level positions in industry for continued growth or to enter graduate programs for advanced study. Its intent is to provide interested parties a educational institutions worldwide a flexible way to implement a strong program in computer engineering.IEEE Computer Society Staff is the author of 'Computer Engineering 2004 : Curriculum Guidelines Undergraduate Degree Program in Computer Engineering', published 2006 under ISBN 9780769524122 and ISBN 0769524125.
