Program Description

 
COMPUTER ENGINEERING OPTION
Computer engineers are involved in all aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design, as well as the integration of computer systems into other kinds of systems (a motor vehicle, for example, has a number of subsystems that are computer oriented). Common computer engineering tasks include writing embedded software for real-time micro-controllers, working sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems.
 
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING OPTION
Industrial Engineering is the profession concerned with solving engineering problems by applying scientific logic and systems methodology and by utilizing information, energy, materials, facilities, and personnel most effectively. Its objectives are to improve quality, increase efficiency and reduce costs associated with the production of goods and services and to act as the interface between technology and humans. Engineering methods and practical knowledge are used in formulating decision models for the optimum application of engineering principles. The Industrial Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Telephone: (410) 347-7700.
 
Mission Statement
The Engineering program at California State University, East Bay provides a quality engineering education that prepares its graduates for employment related to their major and to have an aptitude for continued learning. The program provides students with technical and problem solving capabilities, and understanding of real-world business often through practical work experience, and excellent teamwork and communications skills. It promotes a high rate of student success in completing the program in a reasonable length of time and enables the transfer students to take no longer than native students in completing the upper division portion. Students graduate from the program with a high degree of satisfaction about their education. Faculty maintain a high level of currency in the discipline through a strong program of professional development and interaction with the Industrial Advisory Board.
