BS Computer Engineering
(91.5–92.5 hours*)
This is a limited-enrollment program requiring departmental admissions
approval. Please see the college advisement center or the department
advisor for information regarding requirements for admission to this
major.
Program Objectives
- Provide instruction in computer engineering by introducing

positions of technical leadership; and be examples of faith,
character, lifelong learning, service to the community, and high
professional ethics as set out in the document Aims of a BYU
Education.
- Provide opportunities to engage in scholarly research or
creative design that complement the education obtained
through the course work by including design laboratories, a
major design experience, and, where practical, participation in
funded research projects.
- Seek and retain faculty who are examples of faith, intellect,
and character who instill in students the skills and the desire to
continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives.
