Key Benefits

In addition to providing small, upper-level electrical and computer engineering classes, the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program curriculum at Ole Miss allows students to receive hands-on experience with new technologies.

Graduate Outcomes

With a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree from Ole Miss in hand, graduates are able to work in industries such as electronic chip design/production, hardware/software services, and those requiring electrical and computer engineers, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, utilities, and heavy-machinery. Emerging technology includes Internet of things (IoT) devices, self-driving automobiles, 5G wireless and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

Experiences Offered

Summer internships are available for Ole Miss students with companies located in Mississippi and surrounding states. These positions offer valuable experience and may lead to careers upon graduation.

Specializations

B.S.Cp.E. in Computer Engineering Faculty
