Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Computer Engineering

California State University - Fullerton

The Computer Engineering B.S. / M.S., a blended program that shortens the time required to earn a B.S. and M.S., provides students with a strong understanding of the hardware design and practical applications of computer-based systems. Courses in contemporary and highly evolving computer engineering areas provide students with extensive hardware design and modeling experience, exposure to state-of-the-art Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, and the ability to design and analyze today’s modern computer systems. The program integrates pertinent science, mathematics, and engineering courses in order to develop an engineer capable of designing and analyzing all aspects of modern computer and embedded systems. The B.S. / M.S. is a unique and attractive program that provides an accelerated route to completing both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in four years, thereby saving both time and resources. In addition to the requirements for the major, students must meet all other university requirements for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Placement Examination: Students with a working knowledge of a high-level programming language such as C++ are encouraged to take the Computer Science placement examination to qualify for a CPSC 120A/CPSC 120L waiver. M.S. Degree Requirements (18 units): All courses must be passed with a ''C'' or better and a 3.0 overall GPA. Requirements in Related Fields (31 units): All mathematics and science courses must be passed with a ''C-'' or better to count as prerequisite courses for engineering courses or as credit towards the degree. General Education: All students at Cal State Fullerton are expected to complete prescribed units of General Education that are made up of courses outside of their chosen disciplines. Students seeking a degree in Engineering have been provided exceptions from some of the General Education requirements. For this reason, it is important that students take the approved G.E. courses for Engineering majors that are found in their Titan Degree Audit (TDA). Additionally, they should confirm the G.E. courses that are required within their specific programs with their respective advisers.
