Traditional computer science curricula concentrates primarily on the software side of computing, only introducing hardware architecture as a means to examine software. Traditional electrical engineering curricula concentrates almost exclusively on hardware. However, the industry is transforming at a fast pace and now has a demand for Computer Engineers who understand the interaction of both aspects.
NJIT’s M.S. in Computer Engineering offers advanced training in both computer architecture and software development, allowing graduates to work in a number of fields ranging from intelligent systems to algorithm development. A range of project specializations are as listed below.
Students will gain the skills necessary to work in the high technology industry, which is a critical part of the rapidly transforming economy in New Jersey and New York. The need for Computer Engineers is expected to increase dramatically in the near future.
