Overview

The Computer Engineering program at University of Virginia incorporates both Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Science (CS). Computer engineers design, program, produce, operate, and maintain computer and digital systems. They generally apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to the design of hardware, software, networks, and processes to solve technical problems.

Our degrees are interdisciplinary which allows our students to work with researchers in a wide variety of areas across the Engineering School. Admission to the Computer Engineering Program is highly selective. We are looking for students with excellent technical and communication skills who are excited to join our creative community.

Both the Department of Computer Science and the Charles E. Brown Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering welcome Computer Engineering students who combine interest in hardware and software. Students have the freedom to focus on a traditional research area or to work with faculty in both departments to develop a personalized area of research interest. As more faculty research crosses disciplines, students are finding even more opportunities to work with faculty in other departments as well.

Licensure Disclosure

Upon completion of an engineering degree program which prepares graduates for licensure or certification, graduates may be eligible for initial professional licensure in another U.S. state by applying to the licensing board or agency in that state. Please visit the University’s state authorization web pages to make an informed decision regarding which states’ educational requirements for initial licensure are met by this program. (668.43(a)(5) (v)(A) - (C))
Enrolled students who change their current (or mailing) address to a state other than Virginia should update this information immediately in the Student Information System as it may impact their ability to complete internship, practicum, or clinical hours, use Title IV funds, or meet licensure or certification requirements in the new state. (34 CFR 668.402).
