Computer Engineering

As a computer engineering student at Trine, you will have access to labs that house:

• Three-phase electrical power supplies
• Electrical loading elements
• Electrical motors and generators
• Instrumentation to monitor voltages, currents and power
• Multimeters
• Four-channel oscilloscopes
• Prototyping boards
• Computer for simulation and data acquisition tools
• Logic analyzers
• ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers
• Apps such as Git, GCC/G++, IDEs, FPGA Boards DEO and DE1/
• Quartus Simulation Software for digital design
• Softwares such as C++, C, C#, Python, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, Linux, Mysql, Ruby, KOLTIN, Jason script, XML and more

During your time as a biomedical engineering student at Trine, you will experience:

• Digital logic and computer architecture
• Programming languages and algorithms
• Embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) design
• Networking, cybersecurity and communications

At Trine, your computer engineering "classrooms" look like engineering workplaces. The program utilizes state-of-the-art lab spaces and an industry-relevant curriculum.

• Logic and Computer Design Laboratory: Design and implement design concepts in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Verify and design combinational circuits, sequential circuits and state machines using HDL and schematic tools and implement the design in an FPGA. Work in a group setting to come up with a challenging project, design and implement the project in an FPGA and demonstrate and present the design.
• Embedded Systems Laboratory: Develop a modular, cooperative system to meet timing requirements. Experience an RTOS. Use tools and patterns of modern embedded systems to implement designs. Assess and approach compliance to a coding standard for mission-critical systems. Work in small teams using version control. Assume responsibility for designing the tests or experiments needed to verify work.
• C++ and Object-Oriented Design: Use pointers, arrays, header files and functions of the standard library. Overload operators. Determine a plan for testing a piece of software and organize a program to determine classes and objects. Design a graphical user interface using a GUI tool kit.

The average class size for the Bachelor of Science in computer engineering is 20 students in freshman and sophomore courses. That number decreases to 10-14 during junior and senior year.

As a computer engineering student, you will receive the undivided attention from expert faculty. The small class sizes will allow you to create important relationships with experienced mentors in the field.
