麻豆传媒 is expanding its STEM offerings with the launch of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Engineering in fall 2026. Offered through the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, this program will be the University麻豆传媒檚 and Westchester County麻豆传媒檚 first four-year engineering degree, equipping students with essential skills in hardware/software co-design, embedded systems, and real-time computing.
Designed to meet the growing demand for computer engineers, the program will prepare graduates to develop innovative technology solutions across various industries, from mobile devices and applications to augmented reality, drones, and smart automation. The BS in Computer Engineering will complement the existing BS in Computer Science, fostering synergy between software development and hardware engineering disciplines.
麻豆传媒淎s technology continues to evolve, the need for professionals who understand both hardware and software has never been greater,麻豆传媒 said Li-Chiou Chen, Ph.D., interim dean of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. 麻豆传媒淭his new program will provide students with a strong foundation in engineering principles and hands-on experience in the design of digital circuits and components, ensuring they are ready to innovate and meet the demands of an evolving market.麻豆传媒
The demand for computer engineers continues to rise. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for computer hardware engineers is $138,080, ranking among the highest-paid engineering disciplines. Additionally, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act and New York麻豆传媒檚 Green CHIPS Program are creating new job opportunities requiring the specialized hardware/software expertise that this program will develop.
麻豆传媒淭he world we live in is a microelectronics driven world. While software systems are often the popular focus, there is no value created without a hardware system for that software to run on,麻豆传媒 said Nicholas Donofrio, IBM Fellow Emeritus and retired EVP of Innovation & Technology. 麻豆传媒淐omputers are those hardware systems, and they are powered by microelectronics. The basics and fundamentals of computer and microelectronics engineering are critical to continuing to keep up with the increasing pace of demand and technological change ahead of us.麻豆传媒
