We are living in the era of the Internet. Almost any device or issue you can think of (computer networks, cyber security, controls for robotics, telephones, and more) involves computer hardware and software. Devices enhance how we work, play, and communicate. The design, development, and maintenance of devices involves critical teams of hardware and software specialists.
A wide variety of skills and expertise are needed in this area, from traditional hardware design and engineering, to computer programming. The most exciting new area involves bridging the gap between hardware and software to focus on the application of computer systems to real-world problems. Through this Computer Engineering program at University of Hartford, you will gain the necessary skills to design, build, repair, and maintain this type of equipment and tools used in everyday life.
Our computer engineering program is designed to prepare you for career success.
Computer engineers solve problems to improve our lives. The growth of computer disciplines is driven by a virtual circle. Advances in computer technology lead to entirely new products and markets that were previously not possible or even imagined, which in turn lead to new companies that produce further advances with innovative breakthroughs. In time, every aspect of society is affected.
