University of Wisconsin Platteville’s B.S. program in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
The program has outstanding laboratory and computer facilities where all students gain hands-on practical experience. Students are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research projects supervised by faculty and sponsored by outside agencies. Students graduate with a broad background in computer engineering, and are ready to take their place in industry.
Computer Engineering Degree Program Vision, Objectives and Outcomes
Vision
The vision of the UW-Platteville Computer Engineering program is to provide a quality computer engineering education with extensive hands-on and laboratory experience that will enable our graduates to practice their profession with proficiency and integrity.
Program Educational Objectives
Within five years of graduation, our graduates are expected to
(1) advance in their profession to positions of increased responsibility, and be technically competent and productive members of their profession
(2) be recognized as leaders in their profession and wisely adopt new technologies to drive innovation and enhance professional effectiveness
(3) be strong collaborators on multidisciplinary project teams in industry, effectively engaging with other engineers, management, and clients.
Student Outcomes
By graduation, students in our program are expected to attain the following student outcomes:
(1) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
(2) an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
(3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
(4) an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
(5) an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
(6) an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
(7) an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Program Requirements
Academic Standards
All required computer engineering courses, except general education, must be completed with a grade C- or better.

Electrical engineers design, plan and supervise the construction and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment, computers or control systems. The variety of an electrical engineer’s work can range from the smallest integrated circuit to power systems that cover entire states. Virtually every device that is either plugged in or runs on batteries has had an electrical engineer involved in its design or construction somewhere in its development.
