Computer Engineering

This degree offers an optional concentration in robotics.

Robotics Concentration

The robotics concentration is designed for students who want to apply electrical and computer engineering principles to the design and control of robots. Beginning with foundational courses in circuits, signals, electronics and programming, students progress to topics such as control systems, computer vision, embedded computing and machine perception, all with robotics applications.

Hands-on laboratory and project work emphasizes the integration of hardware and software, preparing students to design, build, and optimize robotic systems, with emphasis on industrial robotics. A culminating design project allows students to apply their knowledge to real-world robotic challenges, equipping them to innovate in fields ranging from manufacturing to medical and service robotics.

This degree offers an optional concentration in robotics.

• Personalize Your Experience: Compliment your major or connect with your passion by adding a minor or concentration to your degree program. The UD School of Engineering offers more than 30 minors, or you can choose a minor outside of engineering.
• Electives and Lab Experiences: Computer engineering offers more technical electives and lab classes than most other engineering major at UD. These experiences are integrated into coursework to deepen your understanding of basic computer and electrical engineering concepts and bring them to life.
• Get Involved With Faculty Research: We're big enough to have significant research programs, but small enough to involve you in meaningful undergraduate research with our faculty as early as your first year.
• Capstone Project: Your academic journey culminates in a senior year capstone course, where you and your team will solve a real-world challenge for a client. You'll be paired with UD engineering students from majors outside computer engineering to work together to find a solution. Many clients go on to adopt the solutions presented to them by our student teams.
• ABET Accredited: Our accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. ABET accreditation assures confidence that a collegiate program has met standards essential to prepare graduates to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce.
