Bachelor of Science-Computer Engineering
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University–Texarkana equips students with the skills to design, build, and optimize intelligent systems that integrate both hardware and software. Combining core principles of electrical engineering and computer science, the program emphasizes hands-on learning through labs and project-based courses from day one. Students explore cutting-edge topics, including machine learning, computer vision, VLSI design, and the Internet of Things (IoT), preparing them for careers in rapidly evolving tech industries. The curriculum culminates in a senior design capstone project where students apply their knowledge to solve real-world challenges, building a strong foundation for employment or graduate study.
