UVA’s BS in Computer Engineering offers a deep dive into both the hardware and software aspects of computing systems. Blending courses from electrical engineering and computer science, students study embedded systems, digital design, operating systems, and computer architecture. Hands-on lab work, capstone projects, and research opportunities prepare students for roles in chip design, robotics, cybersecurity, and beyond. With a strong foundation in both theory and application, graduates are equipped for graduate studies or careers at the cutting edge of innovation—from IoT to AI hardware accelerators.
